Regarding Haegeum, both song and music video, I've read everything everyone has written about it so far.
The haegeum is a traditional Korean instrument, used to play a song of sorrow typically. It's sound is very unique to it, in my opinion it's the only instrument I've ever heard that sounds like it is whining in pain. From what I understand the haegeum is used to mourn loss of life.
The lyrics of the song are sneaky, because he raps about it being open to interpretation and we can interpret it however we want, but is also sending a very clear message at the same time.
I couldn't find when the lyrics were actually written, if it was during the lockdown in 2020 or more recent. That matters because I'm trying to get a sense of whether this is a set of lyrics he thought if a few years ago or very recently. In other words, was he thinking of suicide during the lockdown, or recently? Cause that's all I hear when I listen to Haegeum.
There's this eerie peacefulness that people go through when they've decided they want to die and will go through with it. That's the way this song sounds, he's basically letting go of everything, like nothing bothers him anymore. Like he knows what his situation is and that there's only one way out, and he's accepted it.
