STRAY KIDS - MANIAC (REACTION | LYRIC INTERPRETATION!)

[@sissi7909]

The song is called maniac, everything in this mv references back to that word. The drill is something psychiatrist used to use for lobotomies back in the day to "fix"insanity. The bird references the book One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, a book set in an insane asylum, and also to the cartoons when they hit they're heads there some bords turning around. They reference screws because when you are different or odd you say you have a few screws loose, and this song is about unleashing your inner true self so they reference Frankenstein because he created the monster who in reality is a reflection of his true self. The two worlds in the mv represents the fake world we live in and mask ourself in while the dark shift world is our inner self constantly hidden. Stray Kids never do anything half way and Nothing is ever random; every aspect, image, choreography, reference has meaning. 3RACHA are producing geniuses. Period." I wanted to share this comment i found which explains very well ( shout out to the person who has written this)

Wow!!!

[@hagathachristie]

Building on top of the One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest reference, calling someone "cuckoo" is a way of calling them crazy

[@joaquinaustria3612]

felix actually has a 3rd degree back belt in taekwondo, and lee know has a 2nd degree black belt in taekwondo, 2nd degree black belt in hapkido, and 2nd degree black belt in special martial arts 😭 just for a little background of why there’s a good bit of kicking in choreo and/or performances

[@CriTiCriTiques]

Yay! Loved that you dove into the lyrics for Maniac, it's such a fresh take on a message that SKZ has been at the core of their discography since predebut, about self-discovery and empowerment despite all the struggles life and society throw at us

[@alanlee8590]
