Truly the king of kpop. The amount of power, delicacy, and emotion he gives us in every performance is unmatched by a soloist in kpop.
You have to check out Taemin’s performance video for The Rizzness, it will really blow your mind. The boy is on fire.🔥
Taemin always puts a lot of himself into the meanings of his MVs. For this one, let me show you some more depth regarding what this means. This is what I've gotten based upon my deep-dive into Taemin through articles, interviews, observations, and such in the years since I became a Jjakoong (means "Partners" and the newest name Taemin gave his fanbase), but first there are a few things you MUST remember when interpreting Taemin's lyrics:
1) The simplest explanation is NOT the true interpretation (opposite from the philosophical argument of Occam's razor).
2) Taemin is deep into philosophy and regularly explores various world philosophies.
3) Many of Taemin's lyrics are directed inward to his psyche and history, spanning across a storyline illustrating different philosophies as his concepts for each song.
4) He incorporates those philosophies along with religious symbolism, metaphors, and allusions to illustrate their conflict with his Christian faith (Taemin is Catholic).
So, when putting all that together, we need to look at all the details to figure out the deeper, true meaning behind the surface reading of the lyrics. In short, this is not a toxic relationship between a couple. It's in fact the continuation of his toxic struggle between the relationship of the two egos in his mind (indicated by the hand inside his shirt grabbing himself -- it's coming from inside himself): the demon tempting him with the perks of his celebrity life clashing with his Christian self desiring to adhere to his Christian worldview. The person clinging to the attendant's leg is Taemin himself. He's trying to cling to his faith-based identity. He digs his fingers into his flesh to feel pain and bring him back to or hold onto reality. This story of his personal conflicts also plays out in his MVs/songs for "Want", "Famous", "Criminal", and "IDEA" (in fact the entire "Never Gonna Dance Again" Acts 1 & 2 albums), and "Advice".
For this particular song/MV, Taemin indicated that he researched both "Demian" by Hermann Hesse and ""Erotism: Death and Sensuality" by Georges Bataille, a French philosopher. His concept is that of guilt and how humans process their guilt, especially with respect to dealing with toxic relationships. For Taemin, this is displayed through the character he plays of Abraxas (wearing a headdress and representing the gnostic demigod of a heretical sect, the Basilides, later referred to as a demon). However, Taemin also plays the character of himself being tormented by this demon who constantly plagues and entices him to go astray. The entire song is a dialogue between Abraxas and Taemin. During the dialogue, Taemin is struggling (the choreo) to fight off being possessed and swallowed completely by Abraxas.
We see Taemin walking through institutions of his memory such as a school (which, as an introvert, he hated), hospital/mental institution (brainwashing), and training center (SM?), always being controlled and in situations that produce temptations to go against his values. If he is not constantly vigilant, "....when you've caught on (Abraxas), I'm already gone (Taemin)." In other words, he will lose himself instantly because the temptations are so appealing and addictive (as illustrated in his MVs for "Want" & "Famous"). The "poison apple" is the bait, (again just like in "Want" & "Famous")..."want a bite?" "Just a little more, that's all it takes." "Gift you once as a bait, then I (Abraxas) take everything." The demon is the father of lies.
The pre-chorus and chorus are actually further dialogue between Taemin and Abraxas:
[Pre-chorus]
Ooh-ooh
(On that vague border between good and bad - Taemin)
You played the fool for me - Abraxas
(My judgment in the final moment - Taemin)
[Chorus -- all Abraxas]
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
You got me G-U-I-L-T-Y -
Trick and take everything from you
Again, just playing a game all for fun
Hundreds of lies
Ooh yeah
Taemin is a genius when it comes to interweaving layers of meanings into his lyrics (which he often rewrites/tweaks from SM samples to make them fit his concepts) and leaving us spellbound, trying to arrive at the deepest look into his psyche. This is why he is the ultimate artist for me. Yes, I love his dancing, but it's his lyrical and musical prowess that truly captivates me, while also gratifying my desire for deeper, meaningful Christian messaging that is usually lacking in regular Christian music.
Great reaction! Missed you!!!
I see you going through it. I feel you going through it. When my friend and I watched it for the first time, it was a whole lot of flailing and wordless shrieking.
Your mental breakdown over this was exactly what I went through! I couldn’t believe my eyes or ears. Like how did he get even BETTER?!? You NEED to react to his brand new video for The Rizzness! He learned to rap for Shinee’s newest album after he finished military service (you should check out the Hard MV too!) because he obviously needed even more skills to blow us away with and he does such a good job on The Rizzness!
Imagine seeing him in a Gi Joe movie 😏. Its just fits😂
