Oh yeah, when we were editing the video, we did notice that something similar to this was referenced in the lyrics. Thank you so much for explaining it properly, and we definitely will check it out!
BEcause is not an easy M/V to process... BEcause is a standalone track but it has some of the most complex visual references and paired with its really creepy lyrics it is just a real masterpiece. Just a few things to point out: In the title "BE" as written by the Chinese character "悲“, means "sadness" so "BEcause I love you" means that the source of my sadness is that I love you. It is a song about obsessive love while the visuals are heavily inspired by the movie "US" by Jordan Peele where doppelgangers living underground take over the life of their counterparts. Contrary to that in BEcause it is more like an obsessive Shadow side that craves love and a normal side (red represents the shadow side, blue represents the normal side while purple is an indication that these side live together). The hourglass starts the obsessive cycle 1:26 when the shadow side breaks 1:18 free (with a smirk) and starts corrupting the normal side 1:25 while eventually the obsessive side gets rejected and becomes the victim of itself and becomes the new normal side puppeteering the shadow side 4:09 hence the smirk and the laugh at the end of the video. And now the cycle can starts over... Some details I love are how in the lobby at the beginning the dresses of the people who will be taken over during the video are presented 1:45. Also the old electric chair used as a throne with roses is a nice one 2:42. Exactly half the scenes use wrong lighting setup enforcing the duality, just like all the mirror and upside down images. Finally plenty of images are exact recreations from the "US". Stay the way you are like a beautiful painting is straight up reference to Good night, "like my very own doll" (one of their earlier song) . The doll you can technically interpret as a corpse, especially that right after the "take away the spilled paint before it hardens " is basically blood.... Similar to how Blue Blue your face turns blue is suffocation.
Well, well, well. Hi there! Dreamcatcher are outdoing themselves here once again. Musically, the song is a fantastic journey. There actually are "cute" parts, but there also are parts where the guitars go full metal. The variations in BEcause remind me of their previous masterpiece, Deja Vu. The bridge with SuA's slow rap and Yoohyeon's backing vocals is possibly the most beautiful one they have ever done. About the meaning: According to Dami, BEcause is about love becoming obsession. And also, this is a stand-alone story. They go back to their horror roots, which I really enjoy. They noted that if you look at "BE" as a written Chinese character "悲“, that would mean "sadness". So the song title would mean "The Cause of Sadness". And that would make the lyric "because I like you" to maybe mean "the cause of sadness is I like you". The video picks up on that. JiU seems to be the puppet master here (or her doppelganger!). She is the one trapping the other members and turning them into puppets, but Gahyeon tries to escape (as you can see by her throwing off the cage right in the beginning). It seems JiU catches her again though, "because she likes her". And I didn't even touch on the references to the movie "Us" yet, there is so much going on. The lyrics are even creepier. SuA sings: "Your face turns blue, blue. Your expression is like ocean view.", hinting at strangulation due to the one being obsessed taking things way, way too far. Dreamcatcher are clearly not afraid to tackle the difficult subjects, and they do it masterfully here - again. For me, this is more than just pop, it is art.
dreamcatcher \:D/ at surface level, you can interpret it as about obsessive love but if you know dreamcatcher, their songs are almost never about the romantic type of love. the theme of because is recurring throughout dreamcatcher's discography - maintaining one's identity despite external pressure. this fits with dreamcatcher because their music goes against the trend using genres that are not popular in their native country. korean media even suggested they not do rock sounds 'if they want to be successful'. if you rewatch the mv, you will see a lot of imagery that suggest duality - duplicates of themselves, mirrors, masks, etc. in one scene, you can see one member handing herself an apple through a mirror to imply self temptation. there's other bits such as alice in wonderland which is essentially about identity crisis. with this in mind you can interpret the lyrics as one's dark side trying to tempt you away from your good side, "because" you love yourself and want you to live a life free of guilt and inhibitions. you can see in the beginning choreo sequence of a mirror formation when one member is trying to choke herself, the devil inside trying to smother the angelic side. deja vu which you saw recently has a similar theme when one member betrayed all she valued for power but in the end lost everything including herself.
Start with their debut song... they were literally bold enough to have a spooky concept debut on Friday the 13th, 2017 with a rock heavy genre that was rare in K-pop but it works!
BEcause is a summer song with Dreamcatcher's signature twist. As background, summer in SK and Japan usually associated with beach and scary things. Unlike other groups who went with the safe option, DC went all in with their horror concept. The MV is inspired from movie "Us", and the lyrics would bring chills down the spine if you analyze deeper. Yes it's a love song but in a creepy way and overly obsessive.
DC is literally the best girl group, not sure why people still sleeping on them...They should be the #1 gg worldwide famous... Each 7 members can mesmerize you equally good with their vocals, rap, personality or visual. I'm yet to find a group that can do that always... they have incredible live vocals from all 7 members. Unbeatable visual from all 7 members. Energetic dancing & choreography from all 7 members. Unique sound & concepts. Sweet, amazing & funny personalities from all 7 members. Meaningful lyrics, No bad songs and even b-sides are mostly title track quality. And they can do most genres great... The biggest mystery of Kpop that they aren't the most famous girl group...
Thank you so much for DREAMCATCHER's reaction!! We have 2 series left There's a series of nightmares that began with Dreamcatcher's debut and the latest Apocalypse trilogy Nightmare series (2017-2019) Chase Me Good Night Fly High You And I What Piri Apocalypse Trilogy (2022-2023) Maison Vision Bon Voyage Personally, the music of Dreamcatcher's debut is the essence of rock/metal, so I love it, so I want you to react to Chase Me first!
It's probably been mentioned before but if you just watch their title tracks then you're going to get variations with rock, whereas if you watch their B-sides you'll get more genre changes.
This is a love song…but an obsessive dark type of love. Like serial killer love lol. The lyrics your face is turning blue like the ocean view…because your taking their breath away they have no oxygen and are dying.
Thank you for the Dreamcatcher reactions. You should check out Dreamcatcher's Heavy Metal side. Endless Night, Eclipse, No More, & Don't light my fire. (All Japanese release) Break The Wall (V-Live show case video) is a must to watch. Thank you.
The concept of this song is the Dark side & Light side. This is a horror love story. The chorus have 2 part, the darker chorus & the bright chorus...that's why there's a bubbly pop sound & the heavier rock sound in the chorus instrumental. The lyrics is darker than their previous track, it's about obsession toward someone & you'll do anything to get them even when you have to take their own life (literally).
Well well well... BEcause is meant to be summer song which in the Kpop industry, it is meant to be fun, cheery and bubbly .... unless the group is Dreamcatcher and it is their take on a "summer" song which is based on a Korean tradition where you tell ghost stories or visit haunted places so that you can feel the "chills" to fight the summer heat. Officially the song unravels a story of an obsession and longing for love. The capitalise BE in the title is used in context as the Hanja character 悲’ (‘BE’) as they sound alike and the word meaning sadness, and the title BEcause could be loosely translate as the cause of sadness, and paired with the line BEcause I like you or BEcause I love you, the sadness is caused by liking or loving someone. Also, the whole creepy toxic vibe is link to the choreography where there is a scene of someone choking another, and the lyrics about "forever mine, even your breath" and then "your face blue...like an ocean view" kind of reflect someone being strangled until the fact turns blue etc. Also, the MV plot theme has another layer that officially borrowed quite a bit of plot elements from the horror movie "Us" by Jordan Peele where doppelgangers who were forced to live underground depraved of the "finer" things and are trying to are trying to take over their "privileged" above ground counterparts...won't go into much details as it would be better if you watch the movie yourself if you haven't). There are a lot of details in the MV that point to this such as the movie "Us" which has scenes depicting a hall of mirror, someone being captured and replaced, the carnival; similarly the choreography also uses the movie themes such as the doppelgangers holding hand in a chain, the slight side to side head tilts, ending pose of the center member which two hand on her face, mirrored choreography etc.. There are also a few easter eggs for the doppelgangers concept such as the MV is 3:13 minute long (coincidence? I think not) , and that the opening scene and ending scene has the members in completely different outfits (with the ending outfit more whimsical), as well as the completely drain symmetrical hourglass at the end indicating that at some point, the doppelgangers replaced their original counterpart. More impressively to me, musicality, it plays into the theme of opposite doppelgangers where there is a two part chorus (whimsical and cute, and a more rock follow up) and two part bridge (soft vocals followed up by a deep spoken rap with atmospherically vocals behind) trying to show this mirror duality. Also, I love the Pyscho volin homage during the rap part of the song.
There is something about them , that is : Mystical , Magical and Powerful , Divine and Beautiful , Enchanting , Timeless and Eternal . They are the Guardians of Dreams , They are Dreamcatcher

it's not about love, i'd say it's more about a toxic relationship based on obsession, if you pay attention to the lyrics it's actually quite creepy! but yeah this mv was actually inspired by the horror movie "us" by jordan peele!
Totally, it's definitely a very obsessive type of love. We probably should have gone even deeper into the lyricism, but the song just gave us so much else to talk about😄
@@valenandtheo no i definitely understand, the 1st time i watched it, i couldn't even look at the lyrics cause i was trying to grasp wtf was going on in the mv and in the song itself lmao
@@valenandtheo It's always confusing when the music video has a plot and the lyrics have a plot, but the two don't match... Plus the music, lyrics, and music video all happen to be excellent.
i would like to suggest for you to listen to their b-side tracks for the more rock side of their songs. some samples: Propose Demian Shatter Rising New Days Mayday Break the Wall Curse of the spider This list will go on but these are some of their rockier music. hope you enjoy!

The capital BE is due its similarity to the chinese character for sadness. The dance practice for this song is wild!
