a thread on the meaning behind hylt since armys arent even trying to understand the meaning behind it, bc theyre too focused on one line from the whole song. https://twitter.com/jjkcellne/status/1279053312529174529
the whole song is blackpink showing how they were in a low spot in their lives and were stuck in this dark place, but later finding the light and realizing that it doesnt matter anymore bc theyll be successful and no one can stop them (aka the haters).
in the mv, you can see in jisoo and rose’s scene is them trying to reach for the escape out of the darkness (the light peaking in). in rose’s scene, you can see that finally happening bc she went from being in a dark place with dead plants to being surrounded by bright flowers. +
heres what the umbrellas mean. in jennie’s scene, the umbrellas represent them hiding or protecting themselves from anything negative. the umbrellas being on fire represent that they are able to defend themselves now and they dont need anymore protection.
the wings in the beginning. they gain them in the end and thats them being powerful. the lyrics “look up in the sky, its a bird, its a plane” is a direct quote from superman. all of them get a shot in front of the wings which shows how powerful they are. they’re superman !!
them posing in front of the wings also symbolizes the greek goddess of victory, nike. blackpink is victorious and they won against all of the hate and darkness.
another example of the lines that people think dont make any sense. the “bring out the boss bitch” is being said while theyre putting a sneak peak of a trojan horse being wheeled in. the trojan horse comes from a greek tale. greeks gave this gift to the trojans as a trick to +
for them to be able to enter the city of troy and win the war. they hid in the trojan horse and thats how they were able to get in.
this one is pretty obvious and shouldnt even need to be explained. the world map in the back means theyre dominating the world and no one is able to stop them.
“look at you now look at me” is literally telling the haters to look at themselves compared to blackpink. technically asking “what have you done successfully?”
anyways, if you havent been hating on hylt or comparing both, talented groups then ur not who im talking about
also hylt and black swan are two really different songs. i am no way trying to compare them, i only made this thread bc some ppl kept saying hylt was just noise and had no important meaning whatsoever
