With so many of them being year of the dragon, I love that the September members were the ones to sing the "bring the storm" line. Since "dragons" are supposed to bring rain & storms. With them mixing traditional & modern, they are showing that they respect where they come from & are paying homage to it as they do modern stuff. This is one of the few songs where they didn't change genres, and stayed strictly in the Hip Hop sound. (They totally mixed it up for the Hip version though) And yeah. It's totally a song about how hard they've worked to get on top. The line you were trying to remember from Topline is about how your neck must hurt from looking up at them, not them looking down at you. (They never look down on other groups. Chan encourages us to be respectful to other groups & fandoms. They might have brag songs, and "diss" songs, but they never say bad things about other groups.) "Sea Walking" is a reference to C-Walk, which is a style of dance that used to be affiliated with gang culture, but is now so widely used in Western Hip Hop scenes that it is synonymous with that now. And SKZ are paying homage to both the music & the dance that came from there. The "Walking smoothly we look like a Basilisk" line isn't a Harry Potter reference. Especially with the line "Water splashing everywhere as we move" line following it. They are referencing the Basilisk Lizard. It's called the Jesus lizard because it runs on water & when it does, it splashes water all around its self. They use power & speed to cover small rivers. And if the distance is too far, they stop running on the surface & dive in to swim the rest of the way. The line after was with Aqua Man, and he rules every living thing under the water....But the Lizard is a land animal, not aquatic. So again. It runs on the surface of something that land animals are normally sinking in. So in theory, it rules the waters it covers. (Han is a nature documentary nerd, so I KNOW he's at least seen a few mentions of the Basilisk Lizard.) Nemo might be the fish from Disney, or Captain Nemo from 20000 Leagues Under The Sea. And in either case, nemo is Latin for nobody. And SKZ can't see any of them because they are on top of the water & both Captain Nemo & Nemo are under their feet. So they are telling the people who are trying to follow them & are struggling, to say hi to Nemo while they are underwater. Because SKZ have worked hard to be where they are. And people who just try to imitate them as a short-cut to success will struggle. I.N singing about climbing to a place people cant reach (With his hard work) is a reference to both Maknae On Top & Mountains at the same time. Also the part about "It's all me" is a reference to Super Bowl.
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 I knew the line from Topline had to do with a neck hurting lol I felt like it was slightly off. Thank you for the correct line!! Honestly, that is one of the MANY things I love about SKZ. They are always respectful. (Also, I’d never look down on other groups/fandoms nor encourage to. 💝)
Also fun fact!!! Walking on water is a Skz meme I think back to maniac tour when Han wanted to say to the audience that they went to the beach in Australia with the other boys and he said : we walked in the water, not on the water … we are not Jesus! 😂 and it was really funny the way he said it !! Maybe that was the idea for the song too??
Oh. A small tip for you about finding the right frame for pausing. If you are on TH-cam & pause, you can use the comma & period buttons to go frame by frame back & forth. Comma goes back, period goes forwards. So if you want a certain place & have bad timing, you can pause close to it & then go back or forwards to the place you want. The right & left arrow keys also jump you forwards & back by a few seconds.
At first when I heard the song I didn’t love love it because I felt it was all over the place and although most of their music is like that I always understand it (I don’t know if I make sense right now 😂) but as I kept listening to it I understood it and now it is so stuck in my head that I sing it randomly throughout the day 😅 I love it!! I love all the album, it may be even my favourite so far!!! 💜also this comeback seems like all the boys enjoyed the song and choreography!!!
