Night Before the End is just so hauntingly beautiful. When I watched their video explaining their thought processes while making the songs for Live and Fall, Jooyeon mentioned how he made NBtE with the idea of the last hour before a meteor crash in mind. It's dreadful, inevitable, and it really hammers in the hopelessness of your world ending, which is how you feel when a love falls through. It's just too good, istg, and it works fantastically as their title track.
I feel like the symbolism of the moth makes the messages and themes in the mv more emotional since moths are attracted to light. It reminds me of that story of a moth being warned not to fly towards the light, but doing so anyways and burning to death. The death by fire could symbolize the the relationship, the emotions each person had for each other, or the actual death of someone. It could also be thought that (since we see someone falling off a building) these lyrics could be the thought of someone ending their life. They would hope that the person addressed does not feel guilty as if it was their fault for not noticing, but rather they hated them for doing what they did. It could be reflections of memories with the person, or memories that led to the day of their fall. I feel that the ending of the mv, seeing the members with the moth wings could be them, before falling. Safe to say, this song definitely made me cry. Thanks for the lovely video!
3:19 that scene with the moth on fire, the sparks and gunil drumming is seriously the most heart breaking but at the same time the most bada$$ thing i have ever seen
Absolutely beautiful song and mv!! Personally I thought it was a moth more so than a butterfly. Moths are drawn to light so it's in their nature to be drawn to the flame even if it'll end up hurting them. Also, if you want more xdinary heroes rock you'll love the new songs on their mini album alongside the closed beta singles. Hope you check them out!!
it is a moth! the members confirmed it and i think the mv director also posted about the symbolism on their instagram! it's so hauntingly beautiful T.T
you manage to explain everything i feel about XH music! about the MV i think it's not butterfly, is moth, they try to put it like a "moth to a flame". like they know since start it's not gonna end well and eventually the moth get burned.
night of fireworks is my top song of the year as well I was so glad you mentioned it!! it's touched me so much. I was looking so forward to hearing your thoughts on this too!!
Xdinary Heroes definitely killing it with their music and I'm really wondering if This song and music video got any awards I'm really gonna have to check out the group Wikipedia
When I hear Jooyeon's voice I really feel like he's telling me the story behind the song. In this video, the one who best represents his acting is Jooyeon, it's as if he really feels all those feelings. The other members should improve their acting.

Jooyeon is a genius ! How can he put such a complex topic into a song so flawlessly. It really captures that feeling.
that's a crazy and equally sad concept to write a song on

agreed, it is definitely a moth and that adds so much to the metaphor. Very Icarus.
Omg so true!
when i watched the mv for the first time, my tears just immediately fell in the first verse when o.de's lyrics came... just before the chorus 😭😭😭
Jooyeon’s voice never fails to blow me away, our maknae 🫶🏼

Their vocals go so hard in this song, they all sang their heart out
Xdinary Heroes are so talented and underrated. They’ve been making beautiful music since debut with more depth with every comeback.
This comeback has made me wonder who hurt the writers because the whole album is devastating

They're so good but so underrated 😫

@skiesandthesea7927 the director was Novv Kim
best vocalists of 4 generation for sure!
They honestly deserve more recognition. The amount of high-quality music they've been releasing is just so 🔥💯
“The Night Before the End” is a real therapy.

One of my favorite title tracks ever
I knew I would love this song the first second.
Xdinary heroes's musics are sososososo chef kiss 😘
When I read the lyrics for the first time, I started bowling my eyes out (I don't know if I used that expression correctly)... I loved it
It’s “Bawling” ^^
Funny enough, it’s not even an expression but an actual word. Saying “I’m bawling” just sounds weird
XDINARY HEROES ❤
