OKAY LET'S THEORIZE This makes sense, as if they're stuck in a limbo of sorts, and it seems like Cody gives in to the lady . -i sense strong "say amen" trilogy vibes here, if they build a story with their songs like Panic! did, I'll die. Happy may I add.-
Theory: They're quarantined against something, some sort of disease. They're the survivors of a plague or some widespread disease and that's where they're staying. The plastic is some sort of clothing that protects them (or acts as a trash bag in case they die in quarantine) The figures on the walls are the people who survived but in a terrible half life half dead state, zombies or plague monsters. Cody is drawn to the walls because his lover is there calling his name, begging him to come sav her. (note the way Dan flips the items at the climax, as if frustrated or angry with Cody) Cody lets her in at the end of the video and she is not who he thinks she was, and he's now endangered the only survivors (this is my take, but hey, it's a good video!) Edit: The lack of resources, the cramped space could also indicate this shelter was built in a hurry, as though the boys were on the move - they could be heading to an Eden of sorts. The barrel fire Max uses is their only source of heat. So this can be seen either as a rapid zombie apocalypse setting or (more likely) moreso a post-apocalyptic setting where the survivors either are uninfected or are infected and live a sick half dead half living state, because it's clear they're running from something and Cody is in emotional pain, having lost the love of his life. The shock at the end on his face indicates he realizes he's made a mistake and it's over for him and the group - they could only outrun the devil for so long. Edit EDIT: I keep going over the video for more evidence, but definitely something interesting to note at 3:15, this is a split second shot, Cody is being strangled/suffocated by a woman with red streaks under her eyes - could this be the so called devil? Or the lover Cody thought it was, but now she suffocates him with the plastic that was protecting him from her - a sick role reversal and he is now paying for his dancing with the devil and letting her in. edit: FOR THE LOVE OF FUCK I DIDN'T MEAN TO PREDICT CORONAVIRUS YA'LL 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
LATE AS HELL BUT VERY WORTH SAYING: in response to your edit edit, thank you for drawing attend to the darker circle under her eyes because in a sense this seems to connect this video to another - Lonely Dance. Sure you could say how is a zombie like post apocalypse on Earth tied to the events of a psychotic break and alien infection somewhere in space. This is out there, but here me out on this. What if, Lonely Dance wasn't happening in space. What if the 'blue alien' we see in that isn't an alien at all, but someone in the much much later stages of infection? Take the Resident Evil games for example, there are several strains of the virus, but many lead to severe mutation the longer infection persists. If there was indeed an outbreak where the dead rose and began to mutate, specially designed hazmat suits built to withstand exposure and monitor vitals would be a huge necessity, as well as a fortified bunker to hide out to survive, somewhere that could monitor any point of breach. Not a space ship, a bunker. Now look at all the videos for this album: Killer in the Mirror: a bunch of guys get drowned in a pool only to come back from the dead and take their revenge in what could be seen as a cruel and psychotic manner. Their complexion has a not so subtle blue tint to it. Dancing with the Devil: A handful of guys are held up in a poorly constructed shelter, possibly facing minor but not life threatening infection given their bluish complexion, while a woman begs to gain entrance from outside. Her movements are slightly unusual and given the opportunity she takes violent action against the guy trying to help her. The lighting gives it a more purple hue, but her lower eyelids are coated in blue and her skin is off color. Lonely Dance: A handful of lucky individuals count themselves lucky after the success of a ten year mission (perhaps in research of the virus) when a security breach occurs. One of their own is attacked by a severely infected individual, slowly slipping into psychosis as the mutation spreads at a shockingly fast rate. There are no survivors. This is a singular story told by multiple points of view at multiple points in time. *Stage one:* The Dead Rise with a slightly bluish hue and most of their living consciousness intact, but they're still driven by sudden fits of insanity. *Stage Two:* The blue infection begins to spread, affecting their mental capacities outside of manipulation and psychosis. As their mental capacity deteriorates, the eyes begin to well up with this blue liquid, staining the under eyelids. *Stage 3:* Severe mutation. Nearly all sanity is lost except for a primal instinct to spread the infection through murder. Cells begin to reproduce in a cancerous state, producing tumor-like blue growths. Subject becomes extremely violent, going so far as to bite others to spread the virus. *BLUE ZOMBIES.*
when i was interpreted songs for my psych class this one was one of them. even after listening to it over and over I never got the meaning. my boyfriend said it most likely had to do with getting out of an abusive relationship. I don’t know how tru that is, but if you try to put that towards this video, it makes a little bit of sense. The creature behind the tent is technically attacking cody without even touching him directly. I guess what I’m saying is the tent itself with the band members could represent a someone trapped inside with no voice or ability to get out of a relationship and the creature or “devil” is trying to torture that person again
lyrics: Life's too short to be dancing with the devil Life's too short to be dancing with the devil You best sleep with a blanket and a shovel Cause life's too short to be dancing with the devil Where am I?

@Captain Sarcasm right ?? maybe it's supposed to mean that they are all dead and the transparency is how thin the other side is . Cody trying to call them could mean that it's not the really him thats with them . Or it could mean the girl on the other side can see right through them and picked Cody for some reason .
@@_irya-chan_1513 I don't get it lol. I personally listen to many things and when I got into BTS it doesn't mean that I suddenly stopped listening to anything else ;p I knew Set It Off before getting into BTS and never stopped loving them so this is a good example xD
*Drops everything and runs under the couch for the remote blasts the music so loud that even god can hear it....* baby starts speaking *BEE WOOLE TIS MWASTER PRIECE*
@@bigshaq639 I think Cody believed he was going to get powers from the alien, and those powers will be used to kill (or infect/torture) all of the people who wronged him in Killer in the Mirror, but to get them he has to kill his friends. He succeeds, but the alien betrays him and infects Cody, which eventually kills him, and he and the band are now in a place that would equate to Hell/Purgatory. And Cody, still not learning his lesson, fools around with (or was tempted to do so by) the "Devil." I know I'm looking way too into this but I don't care. 😂
Cody had always been an amazing Artist, I remember when he first started making songs, no one believed he could. His biggest worry was that no one would like the music he made. Those who like his music are forever gonna love the band. So if people don't like set it off, that's their problem. I am still listening to them since early 2000s
Soo... This is my theory I tink that "dancing with the devil" means that you're beside a bad/toxic person, but is is still your "friend". Before the video starts he "danced with the devil" thats why Cody's hands are tied, and he wake up from the ashes. The shadow is the bad person, and he "danced whith the devil" again. The "12:00" in the clock is a reference to the name of the album -Midnight-
THEORY: Lonely dance: everyone dies except Cody Killer in the mirror: Cody dies and joins his band in a kind of prison Dancing with the devil: they are in that kind of prison. Killer in the mirror: they take revenge.
@@darrenm7070 i predict either for you forever because you can here him take a soft breathe before singing or for you forever because at one point in the song you can hear the sound of like sand or dirt falling like in the beginning of this
the thing i love about your music is there are so many different interpretations - like this song literally helped me over come a massive bout of writers block that i've had since before Christmas xx
I don't know if I'm going crazy but I swear it looks like Cody has a giant scar across his throat throughout this whole video, almost as if he had his throat slit or was hung or something. Maybe I was just looking too hard for some deeper level there but even if it wasn't that was a crazy good video :) Also on another note the coloring of this video is mad aesthetic. I may not know too much about cinematographic color schemes, but from what I do know the depth that the blue/purple theme adds really does add so much depth to the emotions of alienation and other-worldliness. Also to have the main color being blue rather than red for the idea of hell of the devil makes the song so much more, and adds a lot more depth than might have been there otherwise. Mad props to the whole team who put together this music video I'm lowkey in love. (Sorry for the long winded comment this stuff is just so incredible)
Okay here's my other theory and analysis of the song (buckle up cause this shit is long) The lines "Lifes to short" implies that he knows and has experienced just how short life is, this could point to the fact that Cody and the band are already dead. The video opens up to Cody getting dirt shoveled unto him, this could be someone burying him, the trash bag looking costumes can also be a clue to that because his body could be wrapped in a trashbag as he is being buried. Next lyric "where am I?" This is a line that is heavily used when someone enters hell/heaven and they don't know. This is another fact pointing to them being dead. "I see you standing over me" this is yet another reason i believe they are dead because their killer is standing over their dead bodies as they are burying them. "Hard to breathe, i cant believe you'd do this to me?" Its hard to breathe because, again, they are dead and they couldnt believe that they would be killed by the other person. "Its funny how it ends" says that Cody didn't realize how deep in he was and his death took him by surprise. "When times get tough you always give up" this could be implying to a busted up relationship, the other person could have 'given up' by just killing off any loose ends (it's a reach i know but in a way it makes sense). "I know your smoking guns" Cody knows something he shouldnt and was killed for it. The clock in the MV is also stuck at midnight which could be the time he died. Yeah.... I'm just gonna stop there cause this is getting long but really long story short is just that Cody died and the song and music video are proof that a partner killed him
I wonder what it’s like to be able to breathe when your favourite band has a new music video...or song...or just...exists...boi I’m excited This is perfection👌🏻
Theory: I think that the tent symbolises protection like every body else is thinking. The lady outside is the "devil" and we also know the devil for his tricks. In the video you see all the boys in the middle of the tent and basically not making contact with the walls of the tent which I think symbolises not getting to familiarise with the devil. Which is protection from being hurt by betrayal. When Cody starts to get to know the lady, he's starts getting attracted to her. This makes it easy for her to gain his trust and trick him into letting her inside of there protection and then he sees she's not who he thought she was which symbolises the betrayal of someone who you care for, either a lover, a friend, or a family member or someone you helped in the past, since the lady was kind of rubbing against the tent like she was in trouble and searching for help. This was my theory and I kind took bits of what others theorized and it helped me come up with a theory of what this video can mean. Btw this is all in opinion. I'm probably all the way off.
Cody is a beautiful human being
Zach is a beautiful human being
Max is a beautiful human being
Dan is a beautiful human being
😭😭😭😭
They must be protected at all costs
Sooo true
I LOVE THEM SO MUCH

“You try to act as if your saving me,

That hit home
I bet that's a callback to killer in the mirror
Theory: They're quarantined against something, some sort of disease. They're the survivors of a plague or some widespread disease and that's where they're staying. The plastic is some sort of clothing that protects them (or acts as a trash bag in case they die in quarantine) The figures on the walls are the people who survived but in a terrible half life half dead state, zombies or plague monsters. Cody is drawn to the walls because his lover is there calling his name, begging him to come sav her. (note the way Dan flips the items at the climax, as if frustrated or angry with Cody) Cody lets her in at the end of the video and she is not who he thinks she was, and he's now endangered the only survivors
(this is my take, but hey, it's a good video!)
Edit: The lack of resources, the cramped space could also indicate this shelter was built in a hurry, as though the boys were on the move - they could be heading to an Eden of sorts. The barrel fire Max uses is their only source of heat. So this can be seen either as a rapid zombie apocalypse setting or (more likely) moreso a post-apocalyptic setting where the survivors either are uninfected or are infected and live a sick half dead half living state, because it's clear they're running from something and Cody is in emotional pain, having lost the love of his life. The shock at the end on his face indicates he realizes he's made a mistake and it's over for him and the group - they could only outrun the devil for so long.
Edit EDIT: I keep going over the video for more evidence, but definitely something interesting to note at 3:15, this is a split second shot, Cody is being strangled/suffocated by a woman with red streaks under her eyes - could this be the so called devil? Or the lover Cody thought it was, but now she suffocates him with the plastic that was protecting him from her - a sick role reversal and he is now paying for his dancing with the devil and letting her in.
edit: FOR THE LOVE OF FUCK I DIDN'T MEAN TO PREDICT CORONAVIRUS YA'LL 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
I like your theory I mean that's what it looks like
Honestly that's actually a really good theory and I think it might just be right
Love this theory. Also I didn’t notice the strangling the first time I watched it and DAMN IT LOOKS CREEPY TO ME
LATE AS HELL BUT VERY WORTH SAYING: in response to your edit edit, thank you for drawing attend to the darker circle under her eyes because in a sense this seems to connect this video to another - Lonely Dance. Sure you could say how is a zombie like post apocalypse on Earth tied to the events of a psychotic break and alien infection somewhere in space.
This is out there, but here me out on this. What if, Lonely Dance wasn't happening in space. What if the 'blue alien' we see in that isn't an alien at all, but someone in the much much later stages of infection?
Take the Resident Evil games for example, there are several strains of the virus, but many lead to severe mutation the longer infection persists. If there was indeed an outbreak where the dead rose and began to mutate, specially designed hazmat suits built to withstand exposure and monitor vitals would be a huge necessity, as well as a fortified bunker to hide out to survive, somewhere that could monitor any point of breach.
Not a space ship, a bunker.
Now look at all the videos for this album:
Killer in the Mirror: a bunch of guys get drowned in a pool only to come back from the dead and take their revenge in what could be seen as a cruel and psychotic manner. Their complexion has a not so subtle blue tint to it.
Dancing with the Devil: A handful of guys are held up in a poorly constructed shelter, possibly facing minor but not life threatening infection given their bluish complexion, while a woman begs to gain entrance from outside. Her movements are slightly unusual and given the opportunity she takes violent action against the guy trying to help her. The lighting gives it a more purple hue, but her lower eyelids are coated in blue and her skin is off color.
Lonely Dance: A handful of lucky individuals count themselves lucky after the success of a ten year mission (perhaps in research of the virus) when a security breach occurs. One of their own is attacked by a severely infected individual, slowly slipping into psychosis as the mutation spreads at a shockingly fast rate. There are no survivors.
This is a singular story told by multiple points of view at multiple points in time.
*Stage one:* The Dead Rise with a slightly bluish hue and most of their living consciousness intact, but they're still driven by sudden fits of insanity.
*Stage Two:* The blue infection begins to spread, affecting their mental capacities outside of manipulation and psychosis. As their mental capacity deteriorates, the eyes begin to well up with this blue liquid, staining the under eyelids.
*Stage 3:* Severe mutation. Nearly all sanity is lost except for a primal instinct to spread the infection through murder. Cells begin to reproduce in a cancerous state, producing tumor-like blue growths. Subject becomes extremely violent, going so far as to bite others to spread the virus.
*BLUE ZOMBIES.*

Kinda looks like a version of hell

Wow yesss this is a masterpiece 💙
lyrics:
Life's too short to be dancing with the devil
Life's too short to be dancing with the devil
You best sleep with a blanket and a shovel
Cause life's too short to be dancing with the devil
Where am I?
My hands are tied
Turn on the lights
And I see you standing
Over me
It's hard to breathe
I can't believe
That you’d do this to me
Years of us building the trust up
No love was ever enough
I'm foolish to think we were friends
It's funny how it ends
You know
When times get tough, you always give up
I know
Your smoking gun's the tip of your tongue
You take your aim to point the blame
It's time we let it go
So save your lies, behind those eyes
You're a devil in disguise
Life's too short to be dancing with the devil
Life's too short to be dancing with the devil
You best sleep with a blanket and a shovel
Cause life's too short to be dancing with the devil
Now it's time
To pay the price
No playing nice
When you live so selfish
Have a drink
And make a scene
Embarrass me
Cause you're lost and hopeless
Years of us building the trust up
No love was ever enough
I'm foolish to think we were friends
It's funny how it ends
You know
When times get tough, you always give up
I know
Your smoking gun's the tip of your tongue
You take your aim to point the blame
It's time we let it go
So save your lies, behind those eyes
You're a devil in disguise
Life's too short to be dancing with the devil
Life's too short to be dancing with the devil
You best sleep with a blanket and a shovel
Cause life's too short to be dancing with the devil
You try to act as if you're saving me
But you wouldn’t cut the rope if it was hanging me
I’m sick of people saying: What you sow, you reap
'Cause I’ve been counting down the minutes of that, so to speak
Think of all the hours and hours of grind
That would it turned into sour findings
As I wonder if our resigning is becoming the silver lining
But I’m not a coward, I’m fighting
Cause if they're the meat, then I’m biting
Go ahead ignoring and smiling
Cause I'm climbing ’til I let you know
You know
When times get tough, you always give up
I know
Your smoking gun's the tip of your tongue
You take your aim to point the blame
It's time we let it go
So save your lies, behind those eyes
You're a devil in disguise
Life's too short to be dancing with the devil
Life's too short to be dancing with the devil
You best sleep with a blanket and a shovel
Cause life's too short to be dancing with the devil

Yuri • you never know
Perfection is going on
If you wanna know then check Nueva's comment because they have a theory that makes a lot of sense and yeah.
Soo... This is my theory
I tink that "dancing with the devil" means that you're beside a bad/toxic person, but is is still your "friend".
Before the video starts he "danced with the devil" thats why Cody's hands are tied, and he wake up from the ashes.
The shadow is the bad person, and he "danced whith the devil" again.
The "12:00" in the clock is a reference to the name of the album -Midnight-
Good theory I can see that
That’s my theory too
To add to ur theory I think the dirt represents the sand in an hourglass
THEORY:
Lonely dance: everyone dies except Cody
Killer in the mirror: Cody dies and joins his band in a kind of prison
Dancing with the devil: they are in that kind of prison.
Killer in the mirror: they take revenge.
DOES THAT ENDING MEAN THERES GONNA BE ANOTHER ONE
WHY WAS I ASLEEP WHEN THIS MASTERPIECE UPLOADED
*oh?* is that breathe at the end going to lead into another music video?
AmvUnity it would make sense, I immediately thought of that as well, and if it does, it wood be like the p!atd trio.
@@darrenm7070 i predict either for you forever because you can here him take a soft breathe before singing or for you forever because at one point in the song you can hear the sound of like sand or dirt falling like in the beginning of this
AmvUnity aaahh yeah I just realized that
@@darrenm7070 or maybe there not even in order and were gonna have to piece everything together
AmvUnity oh yeah, or maybe they aren't even in the same albums.
So proud of how far you’ve come boys. This is a new era and you’ll killing it. Glad to see some more of yourselves in this album!
the thing i love about your music is there are so many different interpretations - like this song literally helped me over come a massive bout of writers block that i've had since before Christmas xx
Yassss I've been waiting for this for weeks, and it did not disappoint!
Now I just need videos for Hourglass and Criminal Minds!
DROPPED EVERYTHING TO WATCH THIS!!!!!!
Set it off’s musics are like medicine for me
this song gave me the power i needed to break off a toxic friendship
thx u SET IT OFF u guys r the best!!!!!!!!!
Every part with Cody had me squealing. Their storytelling is utter perfection.
I am REALLY loving these recent music videos. By far the best you guys have ever done.
Okay but why is Cody always doing weird shit with his arms and calling it dancing yet it's still better than any dancing I've ever seen
1:16
Maxx’ smile is the cutest thing in the world
They look amazing in ponchos ugh
At least they found something to do while in quarantine
Okay but like I dropped my phone in excitement when I got this notification. Worth it.
Best 3 minutes and 34 seconds of my life, to bad I wasn't able to go to their concert
AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!! I screamed so loud that my boyfriend grew concerned and then laughed at me fangirling over this
How can the devil be this hot?! (Cody Carson)
The devil is from hell, people usually imagine hell to be a burning place
@@dzyango6594 well this is hell.. But Set It Off version
This is a masterpiece. I'm SO glad that Dancing With The Devil got the music video.
WHY CAN I RELATE TO ALL OF THEIR MUSIC! THEY DESERVE SO MUCH MORE ATTENTION!!!
I don't know if I'm going crazy but I swear it looks like Cody has a giant scar across his throat throughout this whole video, almost as if he had his throat slit or was hung or something. Maybe I was just looking too hard for some deeper level there but even if it wasn't that was a crazy good video :)
Also on another note the coloring of this video is mad aesthetic. I may not know too much about cinematographic color schemes, but from what I do know the depth that the blue/purple theme adds really does add so much depth to the emotions of alienation and other-worldliness. Also to have the main color being blue rather than red for the idea of hell of the devil makes the song so much more, and adds a lot more depth than might have been there otherwise.
Mad props to the whole team who put together this music video I'm lowkey in love. (Sorry for the long winded comment this stuff is just so incredible)
if cody isnt sabotaging the rest of the band it isnt a set it off music video.
the dog is my favorite member of Set It Off
No matter how many times I watch this “You best sleep” will always sound like “New best friends” to me
I have to say.......set it off is my favorite band
Is it just me or does Set It Off always just got done with a bad breakup and used that as inspiration for their lyrics? That being said love the band.
My second favorite song of this album♡♡♡♡
This band is perfect
THANK GOD DOR THIS ONE GOOD THING FROM A TERRIBLE DAY
Imagine being the one at 3:00. Daaaaaamn
Who else just randomly remembered this band?
A year later and I still oddly want a clear rain jacket😅😂
i swear they're some of the finest American bands ever
YOOOOOOO THIS IS SO FREAKING SICK AND I LOVE IT
At least no one died this time!!!
Me: In the bath chilling
Email: Fearless records uploaded a new video "Set it off......."
Me:YEEEESSSS!!!!!!
Never clicked a link so fast in my life!
even in plastic bags they look so good!!! Also i love the dark theme in the midnight era music videos
Okay here's my other theory and analysis of the song (buckle up cause this shit is long)
The lines "Lifes to short" implies that he knows and has experienced just how short life is, this could point to the fact that Cody and the band are already dead. The video opens up to Cody getting dirt shoveled unto him, this could be someone burying him, the trash bag looking costumes can also be a clue to that because his body could be wrapped in a trashbag as he is being buried. Next lyric "where am I?" This is a line that is heavily used when someone enters hell/heaven and they don't know. This is another fact pointing to them being dead. "I see you standing over me" this is yet another reason i believe they are dead because their killer is standing over their dead bodies as they are burying them. "Hard to breathe, i cant believe you'd do this to me?" Its hard to breathe because, again, they are dead and they couldnt believe that they would be killed by the other person. "Its funny how it ends" says that Cody didn't realize how deep in he was and his death took him by surprise. "When times get tough you always give up" this could be implying to a busted up relationship, the other person could have 'given up' by just killing off any loose ends (it's a reach i know but in a way it makes sense). "I know your smoking guns" Cody knows something he shouldnt and was killed for it. The clock in the MV is also stuck at midnight which could be the time he died. Yeah.... I'm just gonna stop there cause this is getting long but really long story short is just that Cody died and the song and music video are proof that a partner killed him
Max Ellis aaaaawwww I thought he and his partner were partners in crime (I had too)
Dude, I almost shrieked when I saw the notif, this is absolutely amazing
he´s voice is amazing
every single one of his videos, he has a meaning that nobody can understand except for himself, that’s what makes him so special.
This is honestly better than perfection!
I wonder what it’s like to be able to breathe when your favourite band has a new music video...or song...or just...exists...boi I’m excited
This is perfection👌🏻
Best 3 minutes and 34 seconds of my life.
All of these videos seem connected... Im feeling it
LA PUTA MADREEEEEE NO ME ESPERABA ESTO !!!! ES PERFECTO!
NI YO AMIGO ESTOY IGUAL QUE VOS AHORA HAAAAAASKHCGACBJAHCGHASCHJAS
:0 me eh quedado igual
So underrated 😭😭😭
The sio fandom: midnight can’t get any better
Set it off: hold our beers 😂
This is still a bop 2 years later!
Theory: I think that the tent symbolises protection like every body else is thinking. The lady outside is the "devil" and we also know the devil for his tricks. In the video you see all the boys in the middle of the tent and basically not making contact with the walls of the tent which I think symbolises not getting to familiarise with the devil. Which is protection from being hurt by betrayal. When Cody starts to get to know the lady, he's starts getting attracted to her. This makes it easy for her to gain his trust and trick him into letting her inside of there protection and then he sees she's not who he thought she was which symbolises the betrayal of someone who you care for, either a lover, a friend, or a family member or someone you helped in the past, since the lady was kind of rubbing against the tent like she was in trouble and searching for help.
This was my theory and I kind took bits of what others theorized and it helped me come up with a theory of what this video can mean. Btw this is all in opinion. I'm probably all the way off.
I’ve been waiting for this and they upload when I’m not here. 😑
