I like how the ARMYs are hearing 'eat jin and open your rice', the IGOT7s are hearing 'jinyoungie open your rice' and everyone else is hearing 'Jeremy open your rice' XD
I thought I was the only one who think it's about overcoming depression. The way Taeyong said "Yesterday is today, today is yesterday" is just spot on. And also the whole chorus has that bleak vibe, so creative. The sound of the ticking clock and passing railways are just hypnotizing. I never knew ppl were assuming it's a sexual song ._. The vibe they're giving off is not of sexiness at all, yes the voices are deep, but it has a tired and draggy style that showcases well what the song is about. For me it's always been a weird and dark sounding song.
yup! this is exactly what the songs about and it’s sad how people take this song more in a sexual way because it’s literally overcoming anxiety and depression
I read somewhere that some people see this as more of a happy upbeat song. I'm like what? When I listen to this song, I listen to it to drown out the world when my emotions starts to get the better of me. It's one of their few songs I gravitate to like that in terms of just being there to vibe with and just relax and block out the world, and now finally seeing the english translation of the lyrics, it just hits home for me even more in terms of how I would feel when I decided to listen to this particular song.
Mikola I can sadly relate I have a lot of self guilt I’m have depression and anxiety I have body image issues I don’t even know who I am anymore I’m just Kunfused about myself
I love how is everyone making fun of some lyrics and here I am trying to discover the even the deepest meaning of this song Like literally It's so deep that everytime I hear it I could fall asleep Cuz it's so calm And that's how I ended up with 'cant fall asleep without The 7th Sense on repeat' No one cares about this but thank you for your time
its honestly such a deep song i can relate too. i think they are talking about the shitty society we live in. that wherever you go, there will be someone who will critize you. they are talking about dreams and reality, how we can confuse reality as a dream? i really dont know. taeyong's "eyes are being opened through this song, your dreams are being read. I'm awakened from a deep sleep, my seventh sense." the society will live in. we think we live in a society where we love eachother. thats why mark says "im doubting this moment between dreams and reality." fuck i don't know.
Taeyong: I'm tired what am I doing here? Doyoung: *looking smexy af* what are you looking at? Ten: What's that? *looks somewhere else* Jaehyun: *stares at camera* Mark: I'm depressed because of that long ass ride (Ik this is not funny what am I doing with my life :-:)
You are the only person I've seen so far that got all or most parts right. Thank You so much. You literally got every word that was sung/rapped/spoken correct and typed on screen
This song almost feels like a state of mind. I don’t know how else to Explain what it makes me feel. When I hear it, it seems like time has slowed down and I’m left to battle this strange void. When I first read the lyrics, Taeyong’s verses struck me really hard. He’s talking as if he’s stuck in an endless loop of deceptive dreams and the entire song gives off this slow and tiring vibe, as if nothing makes sense. The entire time, they are struggling to keep up with the world, struggling to keep their eyes open. Like Taeyong’s first line literally is ‘I close my eyes to this cold world’ and then the chorus goes ‘open your eyes, now open your eyes.’ I like to think of it as a perfect representation of the darker side of depression and anxiety.
Open my rice quietly open my rice open my rice,이제는 open my rice i think they want us to become chubby and healthy, so we have to eat a lot or rice, they are so cute omg
Taeyong: sHUT UP ALARM CLOCK Doyoung: I woke up like this. Ten: I never went to bed. Jaehyun: I'm tired but I'm good at hiding it. Mark: bUT I WAS DREAMING ABOUT SEHUN OPPA! (A wild Johnny appears: DID U SAY SEHUN????)
Mine too and how can someone don't love them? They are completely awesome, mainly Mark. He is the fucking top awesome of this group. Sorry if I did any mistakes, I am Brazilian just like YankaT
sO, there are the five classic senses: sight, smell, taste, hearing, touch. Now, two more recent ones have revealed themselves, the 6th and 7th senses. The 6th being the *vestibular system* which manages the perception of our body in relation to gravity, movement and balance For example, knowing whether you're going up or down in an elevator and whether you're sitting up or lying down. nOW, the 7th sense is called *proprioception* Basically, the brain being aware of the relative position of your limbs. "It lets us know exactly where our body parts are, how we are positioned in space and how to plan our movements." For example, close your eyes and try to clap your hands. Easy, right? Hold your hand out away from you and close your eyes, now focus on the position and location of your hand in your mind. Your brain is already well aware of your hand's position, yet you were using none of the other 5 classic senses to detect it. This is proprioception; *the 7th sense* Now that that's out of the way, I wanna mention lucid dreaming. A lucid dream is when you're aware that you are dreaming; you're aware of yourself lying in bed, but are still engaged within a dream. It is possible to take control of the dream in this state of lucidness. It is also very easy, once consciousness is achieved, to move from the dreaming state to an awakened one. When you're aware of yourself dreaming, it takes only a little extra thought to "open your eyes" to "what's real" ( to wake up ). The boys describe what seems like the thoughts of a person struggling with depression. "In this cold world, I'm closing my eyes. Laying down in bed, covering my ears. Yesterday is today, today is yesterday. I'm only filled with late self-guilt," and, "I'm a mess, I don't even know myself." Notice the recurrence of the concept of sense? "Closing my eyes", "covering my ears", and the mention of "laying down in bed", further hinting at dreaming. Perhaps the dream represents a bleak, unending cycle many people experience nowadays. In Mark's verse, he raps about how he's spending most of his time in an uncomfortable place even after several NIGHTS, "mindlessly going around until I CLOSE my eyes." He's stuck in this dream, this cycle of depression, trying to escape by closing his eyes. But you cannot close your eyes if you're already asleep dreaming. No, you must *open your eyes* to leave the dream Perhaps the message intended on being portrayed within this song is that, as you can become aware of yourself in bed dreaming (lucid dreaming & proprioception), a person struggling with negative self-thoughts can realise and become aware of the cycle they are stuck in and further *open their eyes* Open their eyes to themselves, who they are, and what's real. I'm not saying depressed people are weak or that they should just suddenly rewire their brain and stop being sad. No. However, speaking from experience, we tend to believe things we tell ourselves that aren't actually true. 'I'm not pretty, my life sucks, they don't want me to hang with them, it's my fault.' Which collaterally roll together over time and give the feeling of "Hate is on me. Each day repeats but it's okay," and that perhaps, we deserve to feel this way. NCT U from four years ago wants you to OPEN YOUR EYES. Quietly, open your eyes. Because often the fight to become aware of your inner struggles and how to surpass them is a battle that must be fought within oneself. The fight isn't extravagant or loud, but is one that takes time ("baby we'll take it slow"). However, please reach out if you've opened your eyes but are unsure of what to do next. The fight can be quiet, but it doesn't have to be lonely. From Taeyong's verse 2:31 till the end of the song, the lyrics become more positively inclined. "I've been awakened from a deep sleep. My seventh sense." And then, "a different dream is getting closer. Now I understand, as if everything's mine." He's aware of himself and his thoughts - the lies and the truths. In lucid dreaming, you can become aware and take control of the plot, storyline, characters and your own decisions within the dream. It becomes yours ("as if everything's mine"). In the same way, your life is yours, choose how you want the storyline to go. The "I'm not alone" at 3:22 does come off as a lil creepy at first, but maybe its intention is to let anyone else stuck in a bad dream know that *you're not alone* , others are fighting to open their eyes too as cliche as that sounds. ooPs that's a lot. Hi, I'm a new czennie 🥺 just want you guys to know I love you, and so does a really kind guy named Jesus. He's one of my best friends. He wants to be friends with you too, cause He loves you, sees you and knows you. And nothing you can do will ever stop Him from loving you (check out Romans 8:38-39) :)
wow omg i enjoyed reading every second of this comment. you really broke down the song and made me understand the deep meaning of it. ilysm just for doing that.
@@toastingintheoven9486 hahhh thank you :) i really just had a sudden inspiration and respect for this underrated song and wanted to write about what the message meant imo
@@macyoungg it’s an english class! the topic is deeper meaning behind songs and certain language used like metaphors and personification. i thought the 7th sense would be good originally because of the “open your eyes” lines but your comment really helped me find more things to add to my essay!
This is the first NCT_U song I've ever heard and I'm legit appreciating their hair so much(I have a thing with dyed hair).Also,does anybody else think it sounds like they're saying "Jinyoungie open your eyes",and I'm just like "Ok,what did you do with Jr. and where's the rest of Got7"
Your profile pic looks exactly like me! Awesome! But after watching one of your videos to confirm if you were my doppleganger i realized were not. It's so weird I've never seen a pic of someone that's looks exactly like me
Haters say that nct songs are annoying,disturbing,loud....but they don't know that this song has a deep meaning and it's about (deppression,anxiety and to tell us to open our eyes and look at our REALITY than what we dream).
2:11 for some reason my brain flopped and I thought Mark's lyrics said, "I have something else to check, just like you women now." And I was like WHAG WHWJWHEHW
A message to all the K-pop idols named Mark- Stop, I don't want a bias list full of Marks. Please consider my feelings. Please reconsider changing your stage names to something else especially if you're a rapper. Gotta love our Marks man :p
Their God damn voices though. I LOVE when people sing without emotion for some reason. It sounds so...just...yes. This song over all is way too good. It was stuck in my head in all of my classes.
+Senhor Elfo eu sei que ela fala português, mas é que o comentário foi mais para as pessoas que veriam o vídeo do que pra dona do canal então coloquei em inglês :)
I think the photographer accidentally took a picture of Taeyong yawning and it looked too perfect to be wasted, like every sing one of his photos. I can't imagine how hard it is when they have to pick only one photo they take of these guys.
It's a pity that he got only three phrases. I think he should receive Taegong's part on the end of the music in order to game a good and fair distribution
okay but the lyrics are actually... sad. on the last "open your eyes" idk why but it felt like its saying to open your eyes to the 'reality' (look at what's real, open your eyes), with what's happening around you. to try to stay away from the emotions and feelings that's making you sad and imprisoned. idk i just had to write it down. ;____;
Now that I properly read the lyrics, I just love this song even more. It's amazing.. I actually don't really listen to kpop (I listen to more krnb and korean folk) and would've never expected to like and listen to a kpop song as much as this
the time i discovered nct is when this came out and i immediately fell in love with them- though a bit confused at first, since i thought there were like a hundred people in this group and i was so so so confused about the units. this is still iconic until now, and mark's legendary 'long ass ride'
I never noticed how painful the lyrics are.. I always thought this song sorrounds around exploring your dark se**al fantasies because it sounds so seductive.
Everyone’s talking about how it sounds like they say “Eat Jin and open your eyes”. But I’m wondering how you can open your eyes quietly when you can’t make sound when you open your eyes ._.
im pretty sure this is one of the first nct songs i ever found (in 2019) and i fell in love with them for it. without knowing the lyrics all this time, i always got sexual vibes from the song because of the “baby we’ll take it slow” but its sooo much deeper than that. the song shows an internal struggle. and honestly after always seeing nct as a funny and uplifting group im impressed and shocked by how relatable they made this song feel. its comforting to say the least, and the “im not alone” at the end is the icing on the cake for me. knowing the lyrics now feels bittersweet, but it makes me want to cherish the song even more. i always wondered what the lyrics meant, this completely made my day tbh. thx for reading this if you did! :)
Had this song been released anywhere near 2018, NCT would've been recognized as one of the leaders of Kpop since debut. They've always been ahead of everyone in Kpop, if only everyone could see that ;-;
remember when they debuted and i was happy i learned their names quickly since there were only 5 of them.. little did i know
bel ¡¡ All 21 members: *SkEoReuT*

I thought I was the only one who think it's about overcoming depression. The way Taeyong said "Yesterday is today, today is yesterday" is just spot on. And also the whole chorus has that bleak vibe, so creative. The sound of the ticking clock and passing railways are just hypnotizing.

Open their eyes to themselves, who they are, and what's real. I'm not saying depressed people are weak or that they should just suddenly rewire their brain and stop being sad. No. However, speaking from experience, we tend to believe things we tell ourselves that aren't actually true.
'I'm not pretty, my life sucks, they don't want me to hang with them, it's my fault.'
Which collaterally roll together over time and give the feeling of "Hate is on me. Each day repeats but it's okay," and that perhaps, we deserve to feel this way.
NCT U from four years ago wants you to OPEN YOUR EYES.
Quietly, open your eyes. Because often the fight to become aware of your inner struggles and how to surpass them is a battle that must be fought within oneself. The fight isn't extravagant or loud, but is one that takes time ("baby we'll take it slow"). However, please reach out if you've opened your eyes but are unsure of what to do next. The fight can be quiet, but it doesn't have to be lonely.
From Taeyong's verse 2:31 till the end of the song, the lyrics become more positively inclined. "I've been awakened from a deep sleep. My seventh sense." And then, "a different dream is getting closer. Now I understand, as if everything's mine." He's aware of himself and his thoughts - the lies and the truths.
In lucid dreaming, you can become aware and take control of the plot, storyline, characters and your own decisions within the dream. It becomes yours ("as if everything's mine"). In the same way, your life is yours, choose how you want the storyline to go.
The "I'm not alone" at 3:22 does come off as a lil creepy at first, but maybe its intention is to let anyone else stuck in a bad dream know that *you're not alone* , others are fighting to open their eyes too
as cliche as that sounds.
ooPs that's a lot. Hi, I'm a new czennie 🥺 just want you guys to know I love you, and so does a really kind guy named Jesus. He's one of my best friends. He wants to be friends with you too, cause He loves you, sees you and knows you. And nothing you can do will ever stop Him from loving you (check out Romans 8:38-39) :)
wow omg i enjoyed reading every second of this comment. you really broke down the song and made me understand the deep meaning of it. ilysm just for doing that.
this was amazing. i’m doing as essay on this song and this comment really helped me
@@toastingintheoven9486 hahhh thank you :) i really just had a sudden inspiration and respect for this underrated song and wanted to write about what the message meant imo
@@KLA1273-i3x omg no way TT is the essay for a music subject? glad that i could be of help to you :)
@@macyoungg it’s an english class! the topic is deeper meaning behind songs and certain language used like metaphors and personification. i thought the 7th sense would be good originally because of the “open your eyes” lines but your comment really helped me find more things to add to my essay!
"Hey guys lets all sleep and not tell taeyong" ~ NCT
Lol 😂
Poor TY
BTS DRAMA TY TRACK
*Watches NCT DREAM Chewing Gum MV*
Me: Awwwww... Mark is sooo cute.
*Watches this*
Me: Mark... What are you?
@Gwenyth Trulock YES!
I'm trans
Try hearing dripping
this will forever be iconic
This will never be not iconic
@@desss377 i had to think for a sec there
*body rolls to this*
Jin ́s broad shoulders infire me army hi
Camile OMG I DO THIS ALL THE TIME XDDD
Camile I swear me too!!!! 😂
Aggressively body rolls to this*
*war flashbacks to jisung’s body rolls*
I’m just tryna figure out why Taeyong looks that good when he’s literally yawning in his picture..
*Imagine* You and mark are going on your honey moon.
You: Mark lets go to Canada.
MarK: And that's a long ass ride.
I actually laughed😂
I was Ten biased but damn..Doyoung's voice tho!
ikr!
+티유마 SAME
Taeyong is my bias but when I heard Mark rapping and Doyoung singing...
i don't know how i will do with that group.. i already can't pick a bias and they're only 5!
+티유마 Picking a bias in this group is so hard lol. I'm torn between Doyoung and Jaehyun but I've been sorta eyeing Ten...
Even though Ten is not my bias, i wish he had more lines, i really love his part...
Moshi Moshi me too he has such a soothing voice
I'm still upset he wasn't given more lines in this song
This is the first NCT_U song I've ever heard and I'm legit appreciating their hair so much(I have a thing with dyed hair).Also,does anybody else think it sounds like they're saying "Jinyoungie open your eyes",and I'm just like "Ok,what did you do with Jr. and where's the rest of Got7"
after I read that comment I can't help but sing it like "Jinyoungie open your eyes"
Whyyyy
Your profile pic looks exactly like me! Awesome! But after watching one of your videos to confirm if you were my doppleganger i realized were not. It's so weird I've never seen a pic of someone that's looks exactly like me
Inara Faizal OMG I CANT UNHEAR THAT NOW
Inara Faizal i hear "jonhyunie open your eyes" and idk if i have to cry or laugh🙃
fighting haeyadwae
Got7 Jinyoung!
Any Agases ?
wasnt expecting this type of lyrics for a song that sounds so seductive but.. well one more reason to love NCT U
Haters say that nct songs are annoying,disturbing,loud....but they don't know that this song has a deep meaning and it's about (deppression,anxiety and to tell us to open our eyes and look at our REALITY than what we dream).
doyoung's voice really make me going crazy~ XD
2:11 for some reason my brain flopped and I thought Mark's lyrics said, "I have something else to check, just like you women now." And I was like WHAG WHWJWHEHW
XD
I think i fallen in love with two mark
Haha lol same😂😂😂
A message to all the K-pop idols named Mark- Stop, I don't want a bias list full of Marks. Please consider my feelings. Please reconsider changing your stage names to something else especially if you're a rapper.
Gotta love our Marks man :p
your not alone
+TheQueenDee preach.
3 for me because markiplier too lol
2016: open your eyes
2020: open your purse
open your rice
Open your lies
nut mip ~ open your purse i see it right there
Eat jin and open your rice
Mark : snezzing
Taeyong : yawning
Who will you pick?😂
Snezzing
Yawning
Yawning
Sneezing
Snawzing
Their God damn voices though. I LOVE when people sing without emotion for some reason. It sounds so...just...yes. This song over all is way too good. It was stuck in my head in all of my classes.
They're singing that way on purpose, to convey that emptiness of feeling depression maybe?
almost broke my finger when I saw the notification
Sorry if I did wrong but, você parece de algum lugar que fala português e a dona desse canal é brasileira, ou seja vc pode falar português aqui também
+Senhor Elfo eu sei que ela fala português, mas é que o comentário foi mais para as pessoas que veriam o vídeo do que pra dona do canal então coloquei em inglês :)
+Julia Gomes então agora está tudo ok
+Julia Gomes pensava que vc fosse novata no canal
Mark looks like he broke his finger though...
DOYOUNG’S VOICE IS MY AESTHETIC
Nobody:
Doyoung: *OOoOoOOOooOoOoOOOooO*
yea
Taeyongs Jack Frost era
Doyoungs Chucky era
Tens "where is my hair? " era
Jaehyuns lookin good era
Marks hat era
I just want to talk about TaeYong's face, is he yawning xDDDD
it might be the very first time that i've seen someone pose in a pictorial yawning lol
I think the photographer accidentally took a picture of Taeyong yawning and it looked too perfect to be wasted, like every sing one of his photos. I can't imagine how hard it is when they have to pick only one photo they take of these guys.
Me in the car: *And that’s a long ass ride*
Mom: o.O yeah idk why I had u
Pfft damn 😂
when they say "soke" it's sounds like "so gay" and I'm living for it
Doyoung’s voice OMG 😍💙
This song is...wow.
ten's voices just
.. i can't
It's a pity that he got only three phrases. I think he should receive Taegong's part on the end of the music in order to game a good and fair distribution
Hi again!! I see we follow the same people!! But OMG all of them are so good!!
Senhor Elfo you're right i hope he has more lines for the next comeback
grant123 Hi again!! and yeah they really are but i wish ten got more linesㅜㅜ
2:03 taeyong raised his children correctly
ten needs more lines /cries
youjinny Ten needs to come back
okay but the lyrics are actually... sad. on the last "open your eyes" idk why but it felt like its saying to open your eyes to the 'reality' (look at what's real, open your eyes), with what's happening around you. to try to stay away from the emotions and feelings that's making you sad and imprisoned. idk i just had to write it down. ;____;
Now that I properly read the lyrics, I just love this song even more. It's amazing.. I actually don't really listen to kpop (I listen to more krnb and korean folk) and would've never expected to like and listen to a kpop song as much as this
i like how ten, doyoung, and jaehyun's faces are serious but then you look at mark and taeyong....lmao
That picture of Taeyong made me yawn for like four times
why did u say this!! now I keep yawning!! hahhahah
omg rwby fan?
the time i discovered nct is when this came out and i immediately fell in love with them- though a bit confused at first, since i thought there were like a hundred people in this group and i was so so so confused about the units. this is still iconic until now, and mark's legendary 'long ass ride'
Omg doyoungs voice in this era is so amazing I absolutely love his vocals back then and NOW
I never noticed how painful the lyrics are..
I always thought this song sorrounds around exploring your dark se**al fantasies because it sounds so seductive.
Same. And I was very happy when realised that the lyrics isn't s*xual. This song hits me more now.
I give up trying to tell Korean from English man
lol
Sameeeee
Lmfao That's how I feel about the English version of Regular
there's
taeyong
taehyun
taeyeon
taeyang
taehyung.
please tell me if there's someone else :">
taemin
Taeil
taecyeon
Taeyeon
the thing is that their all my biases.
also there is:
taeil
taemin
I was waiting for it, talking with my friends like " I can't wait for Yankat to put it up", "No, I won't watch other ones besides Yankat's"
My friend will be like "lets learn a song" and she will look for one and click one and i'll always scream "LOOK FOR YANKAT FIRST"
Korenthia Jenkins we understand each other very well xD
wooooooow Jaehyun and Doyoung voices sound really nice together like they just mesh so well I love it . My two favorite singers in the NCT
*Why does Mark look like he’s growling at someone on their knees in front of him? 😅*
Shelby-lou Weekes wOaH-
Eye--- what am i thinking like this?? lol
I-.......mhm.....mkay 😳
Shelby-lou Weekes Nah he’s opening his rice bowl, but he’s upset about the long ass ride
Oh my..
open your rice
😄😄😄😄😄👍👍👍
LOL!
I actually hear "open your ass" aha
+little sunshine hahahaha lol
+little sunshine omg hahahaha
Mark: AND THAT IS A LONG ASS RIDE
Everybody: 😍💀💀💀💀
Everything is ON POINT but damn Mark's part is Life.
Everyone’s talking about how it sounds like they say “Eat Jin and open your eyes”. But I’m wondering how you can open your eyes quietly when you can’t make sound when you open your eyes
._.
Oh my god wait- Not even kidding I tried to make noise opening my eyes and my mum looked at me life tf 😂
Maybe eyelashes?
(Possible) Metaphorical meaning:
don't get scared at the possible hurtful truth infront of you¿
bruh i kept hearing open your ass 😂😂
Tati N oh shit 😂
Photographer: Try too look as cool and serious as you can.
Taeyong: *yawns*
Eat Jin and Open Your Eyes
Eat Jin and open your rice😂😂😂
I love Eat Jin.. but I didn't get the reference..
oh wait I got it.. hahaha
+tthpf -screaming- YESSSSS
Jin is the one whos gonna eat the rice (bts reference)
OMG I love Doyoung's voice and he'll be my bias.
lol looks like taeyong has opened his mouth for jaehyun's rice
LMAOO
Holy Jisoos
EYE-
im pretty sure this is one of the first nct songs i ever found (in 2019) and i fell in love with them for it. without knowing the lyrics all this time, i always got sexual vibes from the song because of the “baby we’ll take it slow” but its sooo much deeper than that. the song shows an internal struggle. and honestly after always seeing nct as a funny and uplifting group im impressed and shocked by how relatable they made this song feel. its comforting to say the least, and the “im not alone” at the end is the icing on the cake for me. knowing the lyrics now feels bittersweet, but it makes me want to cherish the song even more. i always wondered what the lyrics meant, this completely made my day tbh. thx for reading this if you did! :)
Taeyong isn't being natural in his pic unlike everyone else.
ha
How is he being unnatural? He was yawning as they took the picture-
Pictures don't always have to be natural.
+infires yes infuegos yes People take my jokes too seriously
Your name is amazing
@@yerithesquirtle888 ha same 😂
who else loves Doyoung's 'we'll take it slow, take it slow' line at 1:40?
ten's voice is so fucking perfect
The 7th Sense: Deep lyrics, deep voices, ALL IS FUCKING DEEP
Mark: minute 1:52 yOuU doO
2:05 is the *best* part of the song.
This is a good song to smoke to
Jaggy Babeh THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING (and fuck to)
Jaggy Babeh babydontstop .mp3 OMG YES SMOKE AND FUCK TO, I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE THINKING OF THIS
Bruh
I’ll go try it,jk
The video is really trippy and the beat is mellow so I can see it
Misunderstood lyric
Jeremy open your rice
more like "jre open your ass" 😂
*body rolls*
Tiffany Lowery eat JIN and open your rice
+paprika infires me *body rolls*
Don't for get "eat jin and open your rice" •-• my national anthem now
Had this song been released anywhere near 2018, NCT would've been recognized as one of the leaders of Kpop since debut. They've always been ahead of everyone in Kpop, if only everyone could see that ;-;
The creativity in this song is all i need in my entire life!!!
Me: *sings along
Mark: uh, that’s a long a-
Mom: *looks at me
Me: that’s a long aquatic ride
Me: *laughs nervously
I-
I say: 'Uh, and that's one long ride'
DOYOUNG's VOICE IS JUST.... PERFECTION!
