Just for context, the name of the song is BEcause and the BE is actually sadness in Chinese. They reference the sign 悲 in the choreography. So it means both "because" in English and "Sadness" in Chinese as this song represents an obsessive love
"A little creepy, almost" Almost? 😅 I love the part in the bridge where Siyeon sings, what's subtitled as "You can reject me, My other voice Will call for you instead"; in Korean she sings "gwaenchanha/gwenchana" (괜찮아) which means (in this context) "it's okay". "It's okay if you reject me, because it's not up to you: I will get you either way". Somehow I love that absolute confidence - I mean it's obsessive and unhealthy and if someone talks to you that way in real life, run -- But in the context of the story they're painting, it's a cool line 😅
Well, well, well. Hi there! Dreamcatcher are outdoing themselves here once again. Musically, the song is a fantastic journey. There actually are "cute" parts, but there also are parts where the guitars go full metal. The variations in BEcause remind me of their previous masterpiece, Deja Vu. The bridge with SuA's slow rap and Yoohyeon's backing vocals is possibly the most beautiful one they have ever done. About the meaning: According to Dami, BEcause is about love becoming obsession. And also, this is a stand-alone story. They go back to their horror roots, which I really enjoy. They noted that if you look at "BE" as a written Chinese character "悲“, that would mean "sadness". So the song title would mean "The Cause of Sadness". And that would make the lyric "because I like you" to maybe mean "the cause of sadness is I like you". The video picks up on that. JiU seems to be the puppet master here (or her doppelganger!). She is the one trapping the other members and turning them into puppets, but Gahyeon tries to escape (as you can see by her throwing off the cage right in the beginning). It seems JiU catches her again though, "because she likes her". And I didn't even touch on the references to the movie "Us" yet, there is so much going on. The lyrics are even creepier. SuA sings: "Your face turns blue, blue. Your expression is like ocean view.", hinting at strangulation due to the one being obsessed taking things way, way too far. Dreamcatcher are clearly not afraid to tackle the difficult subjects, and they do it masterfully here - again. For me, this is more than just pop, it is art.
BEcause is a standalone track but it has some of the most complex visual references I have ever seen in an M/V and paired with its really creepy lyrics it is just a real masterpiece. And it gives a rough estimation on how complex DreamCatcher visual symbolism can go (which also gives a hint on how complex their Lyrics can be). Anyway just a few things to point out: In the title "BE" as written by the Chinese character "悲“, means "sadness" so "BEcause I love you" means that the source of my sadness is that I love you. It is a song about obsessive love while the visuals are heavily inspired by the movie "US" by Jordan Peele where doppelgangers living underground take over the life of their counterparts. Contrary to that in BEcause it is more like an obsessive Shadow side that craves love and a normal side (red represents the shadow side, blue represents the normal side while purple is an indication that these side live together). The hourglass starts the obsessive cycle 1:14 when the shadow side breaks 1:05 free and starts corrupting the normal side 1:11 while eventually the obsessive side gets rejected and becomes the victim of itself and becomes the new normal side and the cycle starts over. Some details I love are how in the lobby at the beginning the dresses of the people who will be taken over during the video are presented 2:11. Also the old electric chair used as a throne with roses is a nice one 3:53. Exactly half the scenes use wrong lighting setup enforcing the duality, just like all the mirror and upside down images. Finally plenty of images are exact recreations from the "US". Overall, I am also in love with BEcause M/V :) Stay the way you are like a beautiful painting is straight up reference to Good night, "like my very own doll" (one of their earlier song) . The doll you can technically interpret as a corpse, especially that right after the "take away the spilled paint before it hardens " is basically blood.... Similar to how Blue Blue your face turns blue is suffocation.
correct! it's about obsessive love, all this talk about their lover's eyes being filled with stars and have a face like the ocean view, is basically saying their "love" so strong it's choking the object of their love until they're eyes are starting to develop blood spots and they're getting blue in the face from lack of oxygen, the "stay besides me just the way you are like a beautiful painting" part is pretty self-explanatory in that context, the music video is inspired by the movie "us" by jordan peel, spot-on for a halloween reaction, dreamcatcher is having a new comeback on november 22nd, would be cool if you checked that out as well, have the new comeback experience firsthand alongside the fandom
My favorite Dreamcatcher MV by far. The whole spooky vibes, all the Us references with the doppelgangers, Gahyeon’s acting, JiU in that dress, all the things.
This is Dreamcatcher's darkest song in their discography. BEcause might sound a bit mild compared to their other title tracks, but the lyrics actually dark & creepy. It's about love & obsession. When they say 'your breath is mine', they literally mean it. There's another line 'Blue, blue, your face turns blue..the look on your face like Ocean View'...the only time when a person's face turn blue is when the person is choking or d3ad.
FYI again : They also said during their times in a variety show called Weekly Idol that this song is about a love-turns-into-obsessive and toxic(?) relationship. The word of "BE" in a form of capital words came from Hanja word that means "sadness", and so it represent with their hands gesture that symbolizing the word. And one interesting fact about this mv, it was inspired from a horror movie called Us. Once again, greetings from InSomnia of Indonesia branch😎🤟
In Korea, summer is about two things: being in love and telling horror stories, Dreamcatcher managed to combine both in their summer comeback, in fact the album is called "summer holiday" and as others already explained you were right when you spoke about obsessive love, speaking of comeback... they will have a comeback with their new mini album "Versus villian" on November 22th, I hope you can check it out when it comes out ☺
(Apologies for the misspelling) but V-Cose is doing the lords work suggesting Dreamcatcher to all the reactors! This is like the 4th reactor I've seen that they've been recommending Dreamcatcher to 😂
It's all for InSomnia, the girls, AND the reactors. Win-win-win. ❤ Also, your pronunciation of vkos is correct. If "vkos" is too short for things, I usually go with spelled out phonetics, "veekose".
@@izham890 I think that's a first for me. 😂 Stay tuned. If things work out well, there should be a couple of folks over the next few days and one this weekend. Gotta spread the good word that is Dreamcatcher. 🙏🙌
Did you not notice the body being dragged behind the curtain and all of the references to strangulation ie. The face turning blue. Also, an ocean view is blue.
dreamcatcher \:D/ obsessive love is the obvious interpretation but there are always more complex themes in dreamcatcher's songs. one recurring theme throughout their discography is being yourself and not giving into the pressures of life. in this light, the song can be interpreted as one's internal struggle between good and evil. the mirrors and duplicates throughout the video is one sign there's a theme of duality. in fact, the video was inspired by the movie 'us' which is about evil doppelgangers trying to take over their real counterparts. there is also a reference to an 'angelic face' in the lyrics to suggest the conflict is between one's angelic and devil side. 'be' is capitalized because it refers to the chinese character for sadness; the korean pronunciation of that chinese character to be precise. so in this sense, 'be'cause can be interpreted as the cause of sadness. the devil within is trying to sway you by killing your good half so that you can enjoy life without guilt and inhibitions - all 'because' you love yourself. obsessive love on a different level ;)
Welcome to the world of Dreamcatcher's fandom called InSomnia for you, bro. Greetings from InSomnia of Indonesia branch😁 FYI, the correct sequences from their mv are like this : A. NIGHTMARE ARC 1.

Bon Voyage For their Japanese albums, you can also react to their mv : 1. Breaking Out 2. Endless Night 3. No More 4. Eclipse (this mv is a soundtrack for an anime called King's Raid : Successor of the Will) And they also released a mv called SHADOW (there are 2 versions, which are ORIGINAL version and SLOW version) as a soundtrack for a Korean horror-thriller drama called Dark Hole. You can also react to the mv and I promise you will be amazed by their strong yet beautiful vocals. I strongly recommend for you to watch that drama, I can guarantee you will feel thrilling and breath-taking by watching it. Thank you again for this reaction video. I really hope you'll reacting their videos more. And one thing I can guarantee to you : All of their mv are TOTALLY AMAZING AND ROCK AS HELL!😎🤟

Yes, essentially the song is “ you are the cause of my sadness”
so "because i like you" could be "sad cause i like you"

7:31 this song is about being in love to the point of being obsessed

6:10 You can see creepy face hanging on the wall behind Gahyeon
I love that lone piano chord at 6:53 it's so dramatic
BEcause is so underrated by the fandom itself, that every time I listen to it again I want to cry.
My favorite Dreamcatcher MV by far. The whole spooky vibes, all the Us references with the doppelgangers, Gahyeon’s acting, JiU in that dress, all the things.
Thanks for checking out more Dreamcatcher!
No problem!!
It's great to listen this song during the Halloween season.
