I got inspired to write this after hearing SEVENTEEN's latest release, LEFT and RIGHT.
This song holds a lot of symbolism that I want to discuss what they mean, and what they represent on our everyday life.
LEFT AND RIGHT would definitely mean the many directions that the people would want us to go to. They will tell us to go there or to go here, because they do believe that it would be the path that would be the best for us. But in reality, let's admit it, that kind of pushovers would just put unnecessary pressure on us. We have our own plans, and people dictating us what we should do- it makes us more lost.
THE UP SIGNBOARDS At the climax of the MV, Joshua- one of SVT members- put the direction boards to face upwards, stating that we should not be confused whether we should go left or right. What we should do is to go up- to risk everything with what we really want to do.
THE CAR CRASHING Of course, if we will go UP, expect that there would be times that we will fall, and crash. But it does not mean that we should stop there already. Life goes on. Continue on believing and continue on living.
LEFT and RIGHT is such a bop song, but it holds a lot of meaning, especially on how to walk the different paths of life.
And as what the final message on the MV says : do your best, but maybe not sometimes
LIfe goes on. No matter what. No matter may.
