a few things before we begin:
- this is only based on my observations, the theory tweets i see, and the methods i was taught during my english lit class
- i am not, in any way, a professional at it. this is like an analysis from the pov of a mundane stan

- i'm open to any and all discussions! i might just throw around some questions to curious details that i can't comprehend on my own, so feel free to share your thoughts!
- i could be wrong. some of these may or may not make sense (i'm a baby stay, and again open to discussions!)
- i could be wrong. some of these may or may not make sense (i'm a baby stay, and again open to discussions!)
- i'll go through with this thread set by set based on the MV. meaning i will look at shots/clips in chronological order.
- i might randomly correlate certain shots/clips with the lyrics during that timestamp, or anything like that

- i may or may not connect these with previous eras. again, i'm a baby stay, i haven't had much time to invest in making theories based on the entire SKZ universe. this thread is like 90% solely off of God's Menu MV
- again. i'm not pushing for this to be the only plausible "analysis". i'm realllly open to discussions i love those
- qrt your thoughts i'm excited to interact with y'all pls dont be shy i went out of my way to make this bco i wanna interact bco i barely get interactions :((

- maybe my sole purpose here is to help tie loose ends? or generate new questions (lmfao literally too many questions)? who knows?
okay let's begin. AAAAAAAAA ISTG it's a long-ass thread my thoughts are messt please bear with me. ALSO, STREAM IT WE NEED TO REACH 100M ASAP <3
these are the first four shots of the video. notice how they're all being surrounded by professionals in the field of work they're in? why are they being surrounded? notice how from felix it's hexagonal and during chan's shot they were more scattered?
HEXAGON.
this shape is EVERYWHERE. from snowflakes, to turtle shells, to beehives, dragonfly eyes, Saturn--literally everywhere. when you look it up it says hexagon is the strongest shape in nature. it's up to you if you want to discuss more on this because i think it involves

a deeper understanding of physics and engineering?? but nonetheless, no matter the size: big or small, planet-scale or microscopic, it's everywhere. and in the middle of it all is felix (probably representing skz). in the middle of all things greater and smaller than them is skz.
Hyunjin here is surrounded by scientists in a laboratory setup that is out in the open with construction equipments. Many implications on this, and we'll get to them one by one. ALSO, this is the first time that this (refer to photo 2) appears. Why? even im thinking about it rn
Not entirely sure about this one, but if I take it literally I'd get "function band". Info on pic2.
There are two lines of these musicians, facing different directions. Their lines are parallel, meaning they'd never meet at any point. Why? What's the motive of this shot?

At this point the "circle" begins to scatter (or at least in this perspective). Does it have anything to do with Chan being the symbol of skz here? With his lead, is skz' presence and potential enough to stir the music industry? Me thinks yes
and why is it still there
this is where that controversial "in life" sign begins to appear. In this shot it seems han is facing the sign. what for? Even in the kitchen, amidst all the chefs, he was facing a sign whose meaning we don't understand yet, bringing with him a covered thing. his work, maybe?
also, notice how that secret food (or ingredient? hmm hyunjin) covered by a metal dome is always there so far in the kitchen or the lab? where there is experimentation and exploration of new things? what if there's nothing underneath like what hyunjin's line said? (1:39 in mv)
Clearly they're not at the start of the race. This could mean an event that's still on-going but not new. My best guess is this is a metaphor for the music industry, and it's still on-going. Why four cars? why not three or five?? initially the cars don't have any identity here.
this time the professionals are back to business. why? what caused for them to leave skz alone in the middle of a huge workplace/industry?
jeongin looking up could mean many things. 1) they're finally able to move freely (after the first few shots without movement);2)realization
