This analysis is a general analysis of the music video.
Overall not the song I expected Hueningkai to sing but also kind of expected it? Because of Mix and Max and the fact that he does Sugar Rush Ride and Lonely Boy so well I'm surprised he isn't doing one for his mixtape or did it earlier but hey! It's here and I love it.
I notice that when it is night time it's just the camera and Kai which is kind of romantic when in the morning he is on the street full of people, in the night it's just you and him.
Feeding my delulus. 🤭
Also the fact that he is dancing on his own really makes me so happy with how far he has come, him and Soobin, both of them aren't known for their dancing, Soobin maybe but not Huening which is why I am so glad he decided to do a dancing solo because he is so good he deserves to showcase his talents.
I want to see it more live, he is always good at it even with the guitar is Growing Pain shows that he can be serious on stage.
This is an analysis from the perspective of the TXT universe, which is a whole stretch given the members were the one who chose their songs and it's highly likely that its unrelated but as an old fashion MOA I cannot help but want to find a way to attach any video they put out into their universe Xp because it's awesome duh.
The first thing I notice in the music video is that other than the guy in the beginning and background, it seem like there is no people and Huening is most often seen alone with the camera.
While it does seem like it's just the viewer and him, it does give off the vibes of loneliness and the last part does confirm my suspicions a little when he is at the bus stop at night with a red light. He is also often seen indoors and cleaning alone, and is often surrounded by red which we know is often associated with dread or something bad in their music videos.
Huening can use blue which is a cooler color but uses red the most, it also reminds me of his Mix and Max performance where he got tainted by temptation. What I notice is that Yeonjun and Taehyun's music video touches on ghosts or birds which is associated with death except for Huening it may be a stretch but honestly his whole video is so unsettling it makes me believe that this is the universe where he died, this is following the theory that there are alternate universes where one member dies.
Comparing the other members who have trains, bright citylights and even Beomgyu and Soobin has a whole field to themselves even though they are alone they are often seen outside and wanting to fly or float I'm assuming same goes with Taehyun, there is still light but Huening's is mostly flashing, lasting not very long or red.
Honestly the music video is just hella cool and I've watched it for a few times but never got tired of it. The whole aesthetic is honestly great I wished Huening made the song himself but maybe it wasn't right for this concept I need more prod Huening NOW XD.
Rant over, this is not beta read at all and is all my ramblings so apologies if I sounded crazy 🤪 now back to my hyuka hyperfixation.
