ARMY wrote: The MV is inspired by Hermann Hesse's book "Demian" The 1919 novel tells the story of a boy who fluctuates between the "world of light" and the "world of illusion." This song is part of the album Wings. The entire album is inspired by the novel Demian: The Story of the Youth of Emil Sinclair by Hermann Hess. The novel depicts Sinclair's transition from childhood to adulthood, passing through moments of dreams, lies and destruction. It reflects the transition from innocence to falling into the temptations of adulthood The band members don't even appear as young men, but as children - this is especially evident in the first frames of the video. Suga rides a bike around the museum, Jimin holds a slingshot, Jungkook hangs on a swing and eats a lollipop, Jin appears in the frame with a balloon. However, as the plot develops, children's games change. Instead of the sling that Jimin was holding, J-Hope has a bow and arrow in his hands, Jungkook leaves the swing, Jin releases the balloon. One way or another, the band members are symbolically saying goodbye to their childhood. And then comes another motive - temptation, sin. The dance symbolizes trying not to perceive the evil around them: the boys cover their eyes with their hands, then their lips, then their ears Now other symbols appear in the frame: Jimin's apple refers us to the biblical idea of original sin; Rap Monster drinks absinthe while bathed in clouds of smoke (presumably opium) in a gloomy den-like room. By the way, here's how Rap Monster himself explains the meaning of the Blood, Sweat & Tears video: "The stronger the temptation, the more you think about it and hesitate. This uncertainty is part of the growing up process. The song Blood, Sweat & Tears shows how we think, choose and grow.” If we give in to temptation, then we are not perfect. Recognizing one's own imperfection is a task faced by a teenager during adolescence. A key scene in which the heroes of the video embrace the duality of human nature is the kiss with the statue The angel statue is snow white, but has black wings spread out behind it. This is a symbol of imperfection: each of us carries within us black and white, good and evil, children and adults, sin and its redemption. When Jin touches the statue's lips, he takes a conscious step towards accepting his dual nature. Another frame has the same meaning - a V with carved wings on the back. But accepting evil as an integral part of the real world and oneself is not so easy. A teenager on the brink of puberty tries to close his eyes to the evil around him with childlike naivety. This inner struggle, the struggle with one's own ignorance, comes to the fore in the BTS video Blood, Sweat & Tears. Take a closer look at the dance that the boys perform: sometimes they close their hands, sometimes they open their eyes, ears, mouth, they show their desire to hide the unpleasant aspects of life from themselves. This movement is more clearly shown in the scene with Jin: the band members cover his face with their hands and then remove them - this is a moment of realization and acceptance of life as it is, along with injustice, evil, temptation and imperfection. . The same motif is repeated for the frames It's hard not to notice the sheer amount of artistic references scattered throughout the frames of BTS's Blood, Sweat & Tears video. But not only to the visual: in the first images, both the book and the theater telescope appear. However, the center of interest is still painting and sculpture. The plot of the clip takes place in a museum, and the images become a backdrop for the ongoing events. Jin freezes in front of Pieter Brueghel's The Fall of the Rebellious Angels. Jungkook's room has Herbert Draper's Lament over Icarus, and Pieter Bruegel's The Fall of Icarus is within the jump V. It's not hard to deduce the general arithmetic - the flight of Icarus ending with burnt wings and a fall. The flying and falling scenes are played out by the boys themselves - V jumping from the balcony and Jungkook floating below the ceiling of his room. Although the fate of Icarus was tragic, in the video his story is used more as a warning. Wings can lead to a fall, but they can also lift their owner to unprecedented heights. Suga confirms this idea: "The song expresses man's desire to soar high on his wings, despite all the temptations he is surrounded by in life."

The wings album is pure art. Its based on Demian by Hermann Hesse, a short novel about coming of age. The song is about temptation and how you grow into an adult from being tempted by things in the world. You should check out Wings album. Its really good and it was also the first time bts put solo songs within a bts album.

This song is based on the book "Demien" written by Hermann Hesse, and it's about the temptations of the youth (in fact, the whole album is based on it). RM was reading an excerpt from the book. BTS is also culture!!! hehehe a lot of Armys read the book just because of these songs 🙂

The winged creature is not the devil. It is neither good or bad. The winged creatures name is ABRAXIS. Lots of information packed in this video. Its writing over the picture in the gallery is from Nietzsche, the video is based off a book written by hesse, and it’s based on Carl Jung map of the soul. Carl Jung was a contemporary of Freud.

Wings album is a masterpiece dude.... This album is based on Demian by Herman Hesse (sorry if im wrong about the writer, it's been a long time since im writing about Blood Sweat & Tears theories) . 😂 BTS all Korean songs are connected to each other & making a storyline. Where all BTS members have their own stories. Jin is the main character, he is the one who can time travel and save his all best friends.

From Demian (the book) - “The bird has to break free from its shell. The egg is the world. To be born into the world, man must destroy the world.” The chick must destroy his world (the egg) that kept him safe in order to live. Some deep stuff. lol. Thanks!

O MV, e toda a era Wings para ser mais específica, é baseada nos livros: Demian de Hermann Hesse e Assim falou Zaratustra: um livro para todos e para ninguém do filósofo Friedrich Nietzsche, e o próprio Herman Hesse se baseia muito nas filosofias de Nietzche para escrever suas obras, e em especial, Demian. Demian conta a história de Emil Sinclair e sua busca por respostas para seus questionamentos e sobre o que seria o certo e o errado; as muitas de suas divagações é sobre como lidar com a realidade onde todos os nossos conceitos morais e éticos já impostos pela sociedade são, na verdade, frágeis e facilmente corrompidos, extintos e até mesmo sem embasamento nenhum que nós temos sobre o mundo. Além da eterna busca pelo encontro do seu EU existencial. No início vemos um membro mais novo acompanhado por um mais velho, indicando que o conhecimento pode ser adiquirido através de um mestre. Em seguida vemos Jin, como sempre sozinho e afastado dos outros, mas dessa vez ele está observando uma pintura. Esta pintura em especial, é´ uma pintura de Bruegel chamda A Queda dos Anjos Rebeldes, que retrata a luta entre o bem e o mal. Até mesmo em volta da pintura e de Jin, existe dois portais: um escuro e um claro. Seria esses dois portais uma representação dessa luta entre o bem e o mal? Também podemos atrelar a pintura e os portais a Sinclair, que durante toda a obra de Hermann Hesse, começa a perceber dois mundos: o de luz e o de trevas. O MV também contém muitas vendas e tentativas de tapar os olhos uns dos outros, ação que vemos claramente por exemplo com Yoongi e Jimin. Onde ocorre sempre uma tentativa de Yoongi de não deixar Jimin ver o que quer que seja. O que também se conecta com os “descobrimentos” de Sinclair assim que ele começa a perder sua inocência e quando conhece Demian, uma figura que o faz questionar tudo ao seu redor. Até mesmo o que ele simplesmente aceitava que era “o certo” por nunca ter pensando diferente. Outro momento que esse descobrimento do mundo real acontece, é com Namjoon e Jungkook. Namjoon bebe uma bebida verde que representa o absinto, bebida criada no século 18 que proporcionava visões e estados etéreos que, por mais que se negue às vezes, foram importantes nas criações de movimentos artísticos como o simbolismo, surrealismo, modernismo, impressionismo, entre outros.logo depois a cor verde da bebida aparece no pingo de vela que Jungkook põe na boca, dando a entender que ele a bebeu também. Essa bebida é absinto, uma bebida alucinógena que mistura a visão e os limites entre o que é um sonho e o que é realidade. Fazendo total sentido com as cenas oníricas do MV. Além dessas cenas, ainda tem a cena onde Namjoon e Jungkook dividem um quarto e adivinha de que cor é a fumaça do lugar? Pois é, verde! E, uma curiosidade extra, é que Yoongi também pode ser visto na tal fumaça verde assim como Namjoon e Jungkook. Em seguida vemos Jungkook começar a “voar” em uma sala onde antes ele estava se balançando em um balanço. Atrás dele, há a pintura do Lamento de Ícaro por Draper. Na mitologia grega, Ícaro é filho de Dédalo e é comumente conhecido pela sua tentativa de deixar Creta voando; tentativa esta que não deu certo e o levou a uma queda que culminou na sua morte nas águas do mar Egeu, mais propriamente na parte conhecida como mar Icário. Ícaro caiu pois suas asas eram feitas de cera, e Ícaro deslumbrou-se tanto com a imagem do Sol que se sentiu atraído por ele e voou em sua direção, esquecendo-se das orientações de seu pai sobre as suas asas. Com isso, a cera de suas asas começaram rapidamente a derreter o que fez ele cair no mar. Mas, diferente de Ícaro, Jungkook consegue voar. E no MV, ainda mostra então uma outra pintura de Bruegel: Paisagem com a Queda de Ícaro, onde mostra Ícaro se afogando nas águas do mar Egeu. Essa pintura aparece atrás de Taehyung, quando o mesmo se joga da sacada, demonstrando sua caída dos céus. E nós comumente vemos o Taehyung caindo de lugares… coincidência? Acho que não! Falando em Taehyung, Hoseok chega a atirar uma flecha em sua direção. Entretanto, a flecha se transforma em tinta e mostra Hoseok dentro da a´gua. Na versão japonesa, a flecha de Hoseok na qual erra o seu alvo, se transforma em água - ou absinto - mostrando então a conexão entre ele e Taehyung: a água que os dois estão “afogados” devido a suas famílias. Na história dos MV’s, Taehyung tem um pai abusivo e alcoólatra enquanto Hoseok é abandonado por sua mãe em um parque de diversões. Em Blood, Sweat and Tears, também há uma referência a mãe de Hoseok na escultura de Pietá de Michelangelo, aonde mostra Maria carregando seu filho moribundo Jesus. Uma figura muito parecida também com a que aparece no short film de Mama do próprio Hoseok. Ainda temos tambem a referencia bíblica na cena onde todos estão sentados numa mesa. Essa cena representa a Ultima Ceia. E observamos que nos pratos tem apenas uma maçã, a fruta que representa a busca pelo conhecimento do bem e do mal, que fez os humanos serem expulsos do paraíso pela desobediência. Sou Patrícia Carneiro, tenho 45 anos, a psicóloga e sou army. 🇧🇷💜💜
