Levanter is such a meaningful song. It was purely by happenstance that it has the meaning it does, with what happened as it was coming out. It is part of the SKZ lore story line. But a few weeks before they were due to release the last Cle album, Woojin left SKZ. So this meant they had to refilm almost the entire MV, as well as re-record all the songs to 8 members. All while dealing with loosing a friend & getting over the feelings of betrayal for his leaving in such a abrupt manner. (I had seen a few really old reactors who had reacted to the Cle: Levanter trailer before Woojin left & the trailers were changed. So I know things had been already filmed. They film MVs around 4 months before release, so this was hard.) Chan has said that the lyrics weren't about Woojin leaving, and I believe that....I just think the emotions we see in this video are their own, so there is so much anger & sadness mixed in this MV. In the story lore for SKZ story line, Levanter is about letting go of all the things that they had believed were the "key" to their path forwards. We see them burn the one way ticket "To The New World" from Side Effects, and the elevator that has taken them places since Hellevator. Felix's compass is no longer the broken one from Double Knot, but is now a multidimensional one that he uses in limnal space. They have left the Lavender fields, which used to be their paradise, to travel in other places. They have abandoned the keys that they had been collecting. (If you notice, the door that appeared had a keyhole, but they never used a key to open it.) The moons that had been separate since their choices in Side Effects merged into one again. (The moons represented different choices & different paths in life) They had finally realized that all these things which they had thought were needed to take them on their journey were not needed. All that was needed was themselves. If you want a shortened explanation for the SKZ story line, they put it all in a highlight reel that they released before Gods Menu & Back Door wrapped up the main thing. It's called Stray Kids : Prequel (Highlight Reel) th-cam.com/video/9pFLO3g6CSg/w-d-xo.html Freeze is so fun. The members get to pretend to be undercover cops trying to infiltrate & capture a gang. But the gang seems to be one step ahead. (Due to I.N being the secret boss of the bad guys) But the meaning of the song is actually kinda based on the Korean version of freeze tag & the feeling of being tired of all the little stops & starts that happen throughout your day. You are constantly being told to stop doing things all the time & it gets tiring. So the song is about destroying the obstacles in your path & picking yourself up & continuing on if you "slip" on the "ice" while doing so. To ignite the fires of passion in your heart & do what makes you happy, no matter that push-back.
I'm always on board to listen to Changbin sing AND rap on a song. Love Levanter.❤ And Freeze is just cool (and adorable when Binnie loosens Felix's tie.
Olá! Obrigada por mais esta reação. Levanter foi a primeira música que o Stray Kids cantou como 8. Pouco antes do lançamento de Levanter, Kim Woojin rescindiu seu contrato com a JYPE e deixou o grupo. Woojin saiu logo antes de um comeback, o que significou que os membros não só tiveram que regravar cada uma de suas músicas pré-existentes, como também tiveram que regravar seu álbum inteiro. O que tornou isso ainda mais difícil foi o fato de que Woojin era seu vocalista mais forte, dando aos membros praticamente nenhum tempo para construir seus vocais até seu nível. HAN e Seungmin tiveram que trabalhar especialmente duro para assumir as partes de Woojin e garantir que ainda soasse bem. Além disso, foi mentalmente difícil para eles terem um membro saindo em geral, muito menos em um momento tão crucial, o que certamente aumentou o estresse em Chan. Não só isso, mas também foi logo antes do início da COVID-19, o que foi um momento difícil em geral para toda a indústria do K-pop. Por causa de todas as dificuldades que eles passaram durante esse tempo, Levanter sempre atingiu muito forte SKZ e Stay. A música serve como um lembrete do momento difícil que eles suportaram, então os membros sempre se sentem um pouco pensativos sobre tocar Levanter, embora hoje em dia eles pareçam ser menos afetados, mas igualmente reminiscentes. (tirado de um artigo sobre o percurso de SKZ) Segundo eu sei, Levanter é um vento quente que sopra no Mediterrâneo. Penso que já vi Channie fazer uma referência a isso ligada à música. Em Freeze, você notou o risinho de I.N no final? O jornal que Hyunjin segura pode-se ler: jornal: "onde está o chefe!" - calculado para ser um homem no início dos 20 anos - cabelo preto repartido - vestindo terno preto - alta probabilidade de possuir uma arma Ou seja, no final todos os meninos bons foram pegos porque havia um infiltrado. Até à próxima.
The two moons play a pretty significant part in their lore. The lore is interesting but there's a lot and it's confusing. You'd have to watch all their unveiling and teasers in addition to their m/v in order. Great reaction as always though and really great take away from Levanter! Edit, what I got from Freeze is overcoming your difficulties and anything in your path. Skz does a lot of "be yourself" "overcome" "you can do it" type stuff.
🇨🇵 Merci pour cette réaction 😊. "Levanter" fait partie de l'histoire de SKZ avec les M/V a regardé dans un certain ordre (dont GOD'S MENU et Backdoor font partie aussi). J'aime beaucoup l'esthétique du M/V de "Freese" même si je n'aimais pas cette chanson au début 😅, je l'écoute à fond dans ma voiture maintenant 😂. Je vous conseille vraiment "Lonely St" et "Time Out", 1 chanson triste et l'autre ultra joyeuse 😁 voir drôle si on regarde bien jusqu'à la fin 😜. Pour information : le dernier album de SKZ vient de sortir ( en Japonais) et le 1er M/V est dispo, c'est une tuerie 😱🤩, le titre est "GIANT". A bientôt 😊
Olá, Audrey! Será que vamos assustar @gingerT4U2 com as músicas tristes? 😄 Também há músicas que nos colocam para cima e elevam nossa autoestima. Ultimamente tenho ouvido muito COMFLEX e BLIND SPOT que são cheias de cafeína.

Oh my hat thank you so much for the explanation and the link. I'm definitely going to check that out later today. I appreciate you ♥
Levanter is my favourite Stray Kids song. They also had a new Japanese release this morning called Giant 😊
Oh oh oh Giant is out 🤩
I'm always on board to listen to Changbin sing AND rap on a song. Love Levanter.❤ And Freeze is just cool (and adorable when Binnie loosens Felix's tie.

Thank you so much for this, I really appreciate everyone educating me ♥
