MAYFLY (민혁, 방찬, 창빈, 한, 홍중) - 'PLAYING WITH PAINTS (메이플라이)' LYRICS COLOR CODED [HAN/ROM/ENG]

[@uglibebi]

changbin and jisung have 9 lungs i swear

[@STAY-ATINY-MAYFLY]

each

[@bangchannieuwu7250]

And then when they laugh they are out of oxygen. *Flasback to Chan's Room eps 100🤣

[@arenasvon850]

So better donate some lungs to their poor leader

[@MeNooNie1806]

LMAO FOR REAL😭😂

[@RestFromTheStreets]

Everyone, this is 100% about racism. Hongjoong was the one who initially brought it up, as shown in the Kingdom episode. After 3racha shared their demo track and suggested the theme of how their groups' music are all different colours, Hongjoong says (rough translation because English and Korean grammar are very different): " *The way people are classified based on colours, it would be good to create a stage criticizing such social conditions. People are different, not wrong.* " And Bang Chan completely agrees because they're both kings 👑

[@imeellpeiwenn]

When people with wonderful brains gather, they create masterpiece.

[@mmhh2812]

This is not the first time hongjoong brought the same issues. 😭 when he did a cover for black&white by MJ then arranged the song by himself he also brought the same issues.

[@christellesomera6267]

yes!!! they included BOTH meanings to the song.. one with coloring/painting (making track) as one even if they have different music styles.. and being as one, as in the whole world

[@princesssolano2645]

our leader is really the genius in making the concept

[@evacalico88]

Yess, both of them r rlly brave to touch on this topic, and i hope everyone appreciates this abt them!

[@multistanstruggles6043]

This song is about racism, xenophobia, and maybe about the LGBT+ Community too. Chan's "It doesn't matter black, brown, pink, yellow, white" means that we shouldn't treat others differently because of their skin colour. Minhyuk's "We bleed the same colour" technically means that no matter what country we're from, what skin colour we have, we're all humans and should respect and care for one another. I thought it would also be about the LGBT+ community because there were literally rainbow colours splattered everywhere. *[Edit: I don't know why I was so stupid for forgetting to put this but Hongjoong also said: "There are no bad colours in this world" or something like that which means that no matter what colour others' skin is, it's not a reason to attack, hate or k!ll them.]* **This is my opinion about the song**

[@buzzcrit7732]

same thing in mind...

[@KamaliYuyu]

Hongjoong verse says " Mayfly will do it like decalcomanie, an old form of art where u mix colors in paper and trace it without knowing the outcome but still enjoy to play with paint. Since they are idols u may think they are pretty colors but there is a no bad colors in the world. Why to hesitate to mix colors ? Even if u mix with any of the colors randomly u are going to get impressive result of art. Who are following color matches nowadays? Those are old fashioned thoughts. Bring all the color lets mix and play like now we are playing together without knowing outcome The indirect thoughts are about color discrimination and racism. He says there is no bad color in the world. No one should be left out. No one is superior. He also talks about diversity comparing with them (Mayfly) how members from different teams and different thoughts came together and playing before them. He also says it is an old fashioned thought that people having same ideas and same preferences should be together. Though we have different color,ideas, and culture we all can blend in the world and live together :)

Idk why but honjoong's verse is so addicting !!! And the fact that he was so happy after the performance makes it better.

[@christellesomera6267]

all of them enjoyed (especially being together).. at the studio they just played with the music, but created a masterpiece.. i love how professional they are, they accept each others opinion and suggestion.. i think hongjoong suggested the "we have different colors but we are one" theme (that's why he emphasized it on his verse), but it's changbin who brought up the over-all theme first (splashing different colors like making music with ppl who has different styles but works as one), and they went with it and BOTH the meanings were shown in the song.. i love them (i want this unit to live)

[@honey10tionup17]

Yeah hongjoong was so excited to work with 3racha and minhyuk it was so adorable. You could see it in the bts within the kingdom episode, and in his solo fancam that he really enjoyed himself. I really hope this isnt the last we see of them

[@hyyihell]

Thank you Kim Hongjoong for initially give the colour idea with the song. This is why I feel deja vu cause I suddenly thought about his old cover for black & white by MJ that also talk about diversity and the same colour racism issues. But it also very nice to see how this song can be an open interpretation 👌🏻

[@christellesomera6267]

it was actually changbin who brought up the color/painting theme.. which is about them having different music styles but now working as one.. but yes, it was hongjoong who brought up more meaning to it, which is being different isnt wrong (or basically the "say no to racism").. we all have different colors but we are one.. theyre literal geniuses, both the meanings were applied.. i love them

*They’re playing on the stage while spitting fire with their deep lyrics. I feel this group is extraordinary, no offence to others but instead doing like usual dissed on a rap battle or saying “I’m better than you” they’re talking about society how we all have differences but we’re beautiful in our own way and just be ourselves. We might be different but we’re all the same human “We bleed the same colour” so there’s no one better than anyone. They tried to show to respect everyone differences and we don’t need tp hide behind our own colours just explore our own colours we will see how beautiful it is. Damn this group is a gem, they’re outstanding performers and while having fun they’re talking about deep issue. I have so much respect to them!*

Yeah we know this rap is good AF, but you don't have to be an expert to know that diss is part of the rap basis. UriRACHA made a good job. Also the the three stars with their diss to mnet, wonderful, so deserved.

[@iiCopyCatzPlays]

maybe experts felt like Dissing is a very common type of Khiphop music. They wanna see or hear something different. Now 5racha/mayfly did something unique and dont forget this song is about deep social issue. spreading positivity using hiphop music

This concept is from HONGJOONG. HE SAID FUCK RACISM. OMGGG THE KINGGG

[@christellesomera6267]

actually changbin brought up the color/painting concept.. but it was about music (having different colors/style).. i love how hongjoong put a deeper meaning to it (btw, both were applied to the song.. the music one, and the say no to racism)

[@ashiemal]

Some wordplays and references based on my own knowledge and you may correct me if I'm wrong tho: 1) mulgamnori - "nori" means play, and it kinda sounds "naughty" to me and still it makes sense coz these misfits are being naughty haha 2) Mentions the following famous artists who took "self-expression through art" to a whole new level: Picasso, Virgil (not sure if Hongjoong is referring to the Dante and Virgil painting tho), Vincent Van Gogh, Salvador Dalí, Leonardo Da Vinci 3) Kim Sat Gat - a spontaneous poet who had to give up his wordly riches and wandered around the country; he had his own philosophy about poetry 4) Renaissance - the era that made people in the past open their eyes to a new form of art and emphasized the individualistic view of man in the way they expressed themselves through their paintings, literature, scupltures, music, etc. Definitely applies to the new era 2021 yow 5) swit/shit - Kpop uses this a lot to allude to "shit" and evade the no-cursing rule but it's actually how you say "shh" in Korean Man, I can see the consistency and they definitely went real with the message of this masterpiece 😳🔥🔥🔥

[@christellesomera6267]

han also said: no pain no gain, hold the "pen" (same pronounciation as pain)

[@lianamariajoseph3151]

Hongjoong said the Virgil reference was alluding to Virgil Abloh - creative director of LV

I'm getting strong vibes that this is alluding to the racism and xenophobia going on. I mean, if 3racha wrote if, we know it has something to do with society. But I could be overthinking things.

[@PPNanaHime]

I'm sure they wrote it with that in mind.

[@domiiityl6644]

Each member wrote his own rap part, and if I recall correctly Changbin and minhyuk wrote the chorus (as for the general theme, I don't remember if it was Chan or Hongjoong...or maybe the five of them 😅)

[@cadz5282]

This is kind of an art that is open for interpretation to all. I agree with that kind of theme and after many listens I could also see this as a disstrack but make it colorful.
