#ShadowBySUGA directly connects to the analytical psychology theories “The Shadow” by Carl Jung and “Id” by Sigismund Freud

a thread~

( @BTS_twt #MOTS7 #ShadowByYoongi #ShadowisComing)
first i just want to say that i literally learned all of this TODAY in my psychology class?? what kind of coincidence is that?! okay enjoy! i find it so fascinating and btw, this WILL directly connect to theme of Ego too
Jung’s “Shadow” Theory:
1. says that there is dark side of human nature that EVERYONE has
2. it is stored deep within our unconscious, aka our Id (more on that later)
3. morally “good” people try to hide their Shadow from the world and even from ourselves

more info below
1. yoongi shows the idea that everyone has their own Shadow in these lyrics and more: “we are one body,” “you are me, i am you,” “we are you, you are me” etc. it’s about how we all have a dark side
2. Freud’s theory of “Id” states that one part of your brain is your Id. it is the pleasure seeking part of the brain; it is reckless and impulsive and selfish. Jung believed that people’s Shadows were located inside of the Id. all “i wanna” lyrics would be from the Id
3. yoongi is a good person. we all know this. in his lyrics he expresses fear that his Shadow will overtake him. every time he succeeds he feels it grow stronger. it terrifies him, so much that he doesn’t even WANT to shine any longer
overall this is the end of thread but there is ONE MORE THING!! along with Id, Freud believes that there are two other parts of the brain:
Ego: the realist decision maker
and Superego: your sense of morals/beliefs
needless to say, i think i’ll be making another thread soon💜
also i 100% stand by the fact that this auto tuned version of yoongi is actually his Shadow speaking through him (really late repost because the thread broke)
updating this months later (sorry) but i just realized something very important!

in the lyrics in the pictures below, yoongi can ALSO be saying that he is accepting the shadow within him. this relates back to bts’s overall message to love yourself and every part of yourself 💜
