Maria is her baptismal name. She is singing to herself and telling herself that everything she went through in the end was worth it and that she is strong and can will carry on being strong because she is true to herself.
This is a song about the hate she receives and her dealing with it. Maria is her baptismal name so she's singing to herself. The murder scene shows the press gathered around the spectacle but then no on is attending her funeral. In fact the chairs are all turned away from her. The cigarette scene is from an Italian movie about a beautiful woman who is attacked by the town she lives in. The the table of paparazzi diggin through various ephemera but ignoring her literally offering up her heart. The figures in the hoods represent anonymous on line commenters and the storm of pencils is the constant flurry of negative comments she gets. She picks up the crown of nails (thorns) with ink stained fingers showing that it's the activity of song writing and performing that leads both to the pain and then triumph. At the end her members lift her out of her near suicidal depression.
What a Perfect explanation..... I would only add her incredible response to the hate she received...." if I don't fit the beauty standards - I'll just have to set my own standards. " She is such an empowering figure to women. I only wish she had been around when I was young. I still don't understand why people were so evilly mean to her - she is such a beautiful person inside and out.
Oh I couldn’t click this enough! Hwasa is such a talented artist and performer. Literally the artist of my life. She puts her whole soul into her music. Please watch her live performances because her stage presence is really special.
OMG your reactions.... the three of you are like 13yo boys, too funny the way you all try not to simp too much!! At one point I thought Bulldog was gonna have a stroke!!! 😂😂 Can't blame you tho, she's so fine. And yes, fully understand what you mean by her mature voice... her depth and talents.... she's no little girl playing dress ups, she's all fully grown woman. Another of her solos is "I'm a Bi7ch" also well worth the watch. Thanks for the entertainment.... I'm so glad you are enjoying the incredible talents of the women of Mamamoo😅
Hwasa said Maria is the crystallized tears and sweat that she shed. The MV starts with a crime scene, Hwasa is dead and people are still trying to take some shots of her. A red hair Maria (an alter ego after Hwasa baptismal name) is watching the scene careless. Hwasa funeral, only empty chairs with invitation on it and with its back turned, nobody cares like she says in the lyrics. Here an homage to the most beautiful and powerful scene in Malena movie, with all those men offering their lighter to her. Malena is the most beautiful woman of a SMALL village (it can be a comparison to South Korea restricted mentality), because of her looks and her solitary state, she is an object of lust for all the town's men and of hatred for its women…after many vicissitudes and a very hard time she understood that her beauty is her salvation. So she cuts her black hair and dyes by red her hair, changing her attitude as well. We can clearly see a difference among Hwasa and Maria, both in outfits and attitude. In the table scene we can see a bloodstained Maria with rubber boots and a pretty simple outfit at a table with people all dressed up, they're keyboard warriors. Again lyrics "You all worked hard hating. If you knock me down. Does that feed you?" She's serving them with all sort of things. The table is full with jewels, trove of tapes, mics, cds, diamonds…but they're just looking at those picky. Maria with a bored face is watching them and then she starts happily eating a brain. The difference among Maria and those people is so strong and impactful. I've also read that eat someone's brain means pester someone. The triangular tub is also interesting, she's bathing in milk and rose petals like a Queen and her skin is so white, but once again she looks bored and then she starts to make 'no' gesture with her finger with a smirking face. Like 'I don't need to be pale, I'm beautiful like this'… probably a references to all hateful comments she gets about her bronze skin since ages. We're back to Hwasa, she's trapped like in a mental hospital with a straitjacket, all her body is constrained by laces…this once again can be interpreted as the restricted South Korea mentality. They're monitoring her, pencils (comments) are pointed at her and she is trying to escape from this kind of net (network) until she finds a crown with diamonds and nails (representing the double faces of success). Ink-stained hands Hwasa decides to wear the crown, She got ink on her hands while fighting malicious comments, in fact we can see her beating her fists on the ground and shouting. The triangular tub is back but this time we can see Maria and Hwasa looking at each other through a bloody water. A triangle is a figure linked to different trinities like mind, body & spirit; past, present & future; thought, feeling & emotion and creation, preservation and destruction. And, personally, all those fit this MV perfectly. And now we discover Hwasa was not dead at all. Like it was all a dream, in fact she's on a coach with scissor in her hands, she is alone with her thoughts when suddenly Mamamoo members appear with big smiles. She said many times Mamamoo are her strength and she was able to face difficulties since trainee period only because they were together. The whole lyrics are beautiful and powerful but sad at the same time. She said this is an exciting yet sad song, she likes those kind of songs because they resemble life. With this album Hwasa became the FIRST Korean female solo artist to reach #1 on iTunes US Album chart and ranked 1st on the WORLDWIDE album chart as well. She co-wrote and co-composed 4 songs out of 6 of this album…an amazing album with powerful collaborations, a Queen like always. PS: I think you should lower the volume of the mv because your comments are difficult to understand since music it too loud
Hwasaaaaa....Love herrrrrr. One of my favorite Hwasa songs is LMM. It's slower, but I just thought it was so emotional and vulnerable. I just saw Mamamoo in concert and I just fell hard for all of them XDDD Edit: 6:50 Trust me, that move live? I was screaming my head off hahahahahaha
A very impactful scene on MV is her sitting and carrying scissors and at end you see her wearing same outfit it's crazy to think she was thinking about suicide at that point and then her friends come the song is about her but message is for all women and human love yourself you are pretty and you aren't alone
lmaoooo😂😂😂😂 it was the best part for ALL OF US, can’t blame, understandable😂 Hwasa just a queen for real!! omg I laughed so much, thank you guys Just found out your channel, love yaa
Pour votre prochain choc émotionnel , je recommande ÉCLIPSE de MOONBYUL , un style complément différent - vous m’avez bien fait rire - plein de bonnes vibrations à vous trois
The Mamamoo lady's are too much to handle for anyone. Young or old. 😀 Another solo song from Hwasa has a similar theme about the 'haters'. During the video, you see arrows flying close to her but they don't hit her. Later on, she draws the bow and shoots an arrow, that one does hit her. I know that may seem weird but it symbolises that the arrows only hit, if you let them. In other words, if she lets the hatred into her mind, she will be effected by it.
I thought it had something to do with BTS and clicked. Please don't use the BTS tag in unrelated content, not to mention it is also disrespectful to the featured artist.
y'all tagging BTS and ARMY in non bts related videos is behavior of clout chasers. :3 disappointed but not surprised. too bad I was starting to like your channel.
@@inkonnu4542 I have a channel and I don't use tags for clout. look at you being an idiot and defending some "reactors" just cuz they "reacted" to your fav lmao.
