The elevator is always in Stray Kids videos, it started with Hellavator, and then throught there journey the elevator symbolises going up in their career and moving between multiverses.
An additional thing I found fascinating is that they deliberately chose this aspect ratio to give it a more claustrophobic feel which hits so different once this ties to the whole theme of the video.
Elevators go all the way back to their predebut song Hellevator and have appeared consistently over the years since then. It’s a metaphor for escaping and overcoming challenges.
During the "I AM" and "Clé" series, the elevator was always there so maybe it's a way to visualize how they progressed/going through different stages during their journey. And as SKZ always say themselves, they're constantly working on themselves to get better and not to be stagnant, so them still using the elevator from time to time could symbolize that they still evolve and will be in the future. Skz also loves to try out new things and aren't afraid to be experimental, so like an elevator is bringing you to different levels, Skz are also still exploring = going to new levels. Maybe I just did go down a rabbit hole but that came to my mind 😅🤔
Elevators, doors, locks, levels, directions, have been themes from day dot! The compass, part of their light stick is heavily referenced too. There's actually a lot of references to the original little mermaid in the film clip that I wouldn't have had a clue about tbh unless it was explained to me. Was a mix of Stray Kids themselves and I think possibly Bookish Theories that I found out a lot more from.
The elevator is them not only moving upward and growing in their career, but also how they move between universes in their Lore. It's in a lot of videos, how they move between one universe to the other.
Here's another great reaction. One who is not afraid to watch these video even with those saying negative things about the collaboration. Thanks for always supporting Stray Kids! And yes, the elevator opening has almost always been shown in most of their videos. This started from Hellevator and has continued on.
also! i love the choreo part where they dance in the rain on the street, but there’s also the ‘upside down’ version in the white outfits, their mermaid forms, where the lighting really looks to me like they’re underwater.
As the comments imply I think it's both a tribute to their pre-debut song and overcoming challenges! But I did also want to add that I think it's really smart of them, should the whole multi-dimension theory be brought up, that this elevator scene was shown specifically (the doors literally open) on the exact moment that Charlie Puth starts singing. Stray kids also have a "second dimension" to this song, being their OT8 version. If this was done with intent, it's honestly genius!
Roscoe, on the JYP channel is a video of the guys discussing working with Charlie Puth and I.N., Lee Know and Changbin talking about the challenges of the English lyrics as well as R and B feel of the song which is new for them vocally.
Lots of thematic water references throughout (fish, drinking water, under water, rain)... @Roscoe, your voice is... something else 🥵 And yes, your observations on Channie are fully on point.
There is a bit of lore with doors. As the boys have moved through their universes the doors often represent leaving one universe to another. Leave the old and going into the new.
I love your reaction to this! I NEVER noticed the extra sounds but I do now and that’s insane how it makes the video that much more engaging. I’m gonna need a minute for your new nickname for Chan…Lipstopher…🤣🤣🤣 honestly not wrong though.😉
Love your reaction to this MV. I was so lost in the song and the story line (not just the visuals hahhaa), I never really focused on the sound effects. Wow
There has been doors and elevators in the skz lore since the beginning. I am not sur exactly of what it represents, but I remember seeing videos about skz storyline talking about the elevator and doors helping them jump between timelines and universes.
Thanks for another entertaining reaction. You make my day so much better. Have you seen the trailer to their comeback? It came out yesterday and is hilariously entertaining! Their new album (coming out 19 July) is called ATE.
just wondering if anyone is intrigued by the scene where lino bites into the fruit.. was there a piece of fruit in some version of the little mermaid? my mind only comes up with persephone and adam & eve.
This song is just starting to grow on me. I had a confused grimace response from the beginning. I know they do so many different styles, but this one felt departed so much it didn't feel SKZ. I've found that watching behind the scenes type content to help and this has. I'm headed over to see what "making of" vids are out. And... mermaids? Was not expecting that. And sounded serious, as in not joking, so I am extra extra intrigued right now. (I think of Stray Kids as mermaids and it made me smile with loving amusement. Then I remembered Felix's pearls... now gotta also go check out the costumes more.) I'm not quite there yet, but this will be on my playlist---just a matter of time.
The elevator symbolism has been covered pretty well by others but for one lore theory. Game Theory the elevator is the change from the character building into the game play or different levels of the game
As I was watching you video, and understanding the concept of little mermaid and stuff, I think, and taking your comment about sound design...little mermaid concept is about giving up your voice for love...and in this case, they don't speak, so maybe, just maybe, the lack of spoken script and the use of post production sound might be in order to elevate the silence of the kids, that just sing in a few parts, not the whole mv as usual, and also to create the feeling of water/air (breathing sounds) just as the song (the beatbox part is amazing)...
Hay teorías que dicen que todos en stray kids viajan por diferente universos en sus canciones! Y que el elevador es el encargado de hacer el viaje! Pero es un lore no dicho oficialmente!
They do incorporate a lot of doors (& elevators) ....walking through ........ yes BC and Hyunjin have beautiful lips! I liked the Stray Kids live version of this much better. I've not heard the mermaid theme.
I’m just trying to figure out the”Waffle House” link! It makes me giggle because at the Atlanta Day 2 concert in 2023 they asked where they should go eat after the concert and it sounded like an entire arena replied “Waffle House” in unison !!😂😂😂.
Not my favourite song of theirs, I feel it lacks content and the chorus repeats too much... It should be Charlie Puth ft. Stray Kids not vice versa😢 But, I still sing along...
You HAVE to watch the skz version live recording on their youtube channel. It's so much better and really shows off how amazing all of skz can sing. Also, who cares about CP, skz version all the way
The elevator is always in Stray Kids videos, it started with Hellavator, and then throught there journey the elevator symbolises going up in their career and moving between multiverses.
And I feel like it is them opening up to us each time we see something new from them
An additional thing I found fascinating is that they deliberately chose this aspect ratio to give it a more claustrophobic feel which hits so different once this ties to the whole theme of the video.
I can’t😂 lip-stopher back-Chan.

Felix is like a fairy.🥺💙😭
I like how the mv and the shots are so fast paced it’s almost like you’re losing your breath while watching lol

i recommend u to try Stray Kids .Live ver of Lose my breath it is so stunning and u can hear their pure vocals
You should check out Straykids lose my breath(Straykids ver.) Live video it will really blow your mind away they really ATE that live up❤️🔥
There is a bit of lore with doors. As the boys have moved through their universes the doors often represent leaving one universe to another. Leave the old and going into the new.
I’ve been waiting for you to do this!!! I need you to do their live Stray Kids version of this song!!😀❤️
Can't decide if I like BackChan or Lipstifpher better 🤔🤣
I love your reaction to this! I NEVER noticed the extra sounds but I do now and that’s insane how it makes the video that much more engaging. I’m gonna need a minute for your new nickname for Chan…Lipstopher…🤣🤣🤣 honestly not wrong though.😉

Roscoe… the lipstopher! Dying! Lol😂you da best!
Lipstopher is the best thing I've heard today😂
Mingi wears the same blue sweater in the Work music video that Lee Know wears here in this music video 😊
Always love your directors notes 💜

Hellevator and Levanter also have elevators. Levanter starts with one as does Megaverse. Probably a couple more I can’t recall.
Thank u so much for your reaction to Lose My Breath ❤
As soon as you talked about the elevator I thought of Hellevator I also thought of back door but that also has nothing to do with a elevator
Elevators in many vids, might tie in but wouldn’t overthink this one. And Chris hiding his lips? How?!?. lolol! Yes Roscoe, you’ve missed it lol! 🤣♥️😎
The elevator symbolism has been covered pretty well by others but for one lore theory. Game Theory the elevator is the change from the character building into the game play or different levels of the game
They use the elevator as a symbol of their climbing career.
If this is mermen look like I need to grow some gills 😍

You should react to the live stray kids version, Lose my breath the vocals are killer

Chan has always had the big pillowy lips there's just so much to look at you hadn't noticed yet 😊
The elevator could be them coming into the real world from the mermaid world.
Thank you 👍
Pop stray kids but still stray kids one of the best groups ❤❤❤
They do incorporate a lot of doors (& elevators) ....walking through ........ yes BC and Hyunjin have beautiful lips! I liked the Stray Kids live version of this much better. I've not heard the mermaid theme.
6:30 And continues on in the ATE trailer

We did lol a Stay in the stage seats even told Chan "My house" 😂
@@StrayCircusClown It was an awesome night
this MV is so good aaaaa so smart too... but i wish charlie would´ve been in it.....
Chris' lips don't get enough attention, everyone always says hyunjin has the best lips but he really doesn't 🥵
Actually, yes. Hyunjin's lips are the best to be honest. You can admire what and who you want, but don't do it at the expens other members, please
Have you seen the performance video for the Stray kids only version?
💜
💜💜
❤
💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
I recommend you to check out the SKZ version, it's even better!
You still call felix as freckles 😂😂
Still waiting for tthe 'Happy Ending pilot' reaction of our Jeffy
I think you should listen to stray kids version. 🫶🏼
Not my favourite song of theirs, I feel it lacks content and the chorus repeats too much... It should be Charlie Puth ft. Stray Kids not vice versa😢 But, I still sing along...
There is actually a Stray Kids ONLY version! I do agree with you; I felt like the chorus got repetitive, but I do like the Stray Kids version more.
Hi Roscoe
