So I NEED U came out today and I feel like it's important to point out a few things as well as how I interpreted (my own theory) Boragi's part in the video:
For starters Bora's opening scene is this. All the members look so broken during their opening scenes but what intrigues me the most is that she's sitting in a room that is similar to the one Suga is in looking out the window and while the other members just look broken Bora's emotions don't completely show until after she lets go of the phone. (Foreshadowing much?)
It's like while the others are so hopeless and broken, Bora has been left to stay strong for all of them. She has to hold it all in until she is completely alone or how else are the others supposed to stay grounded?Then is just flashes to this, she has a similar scene to Suga's expect she isn't setting anything on fire and is rather analyzing everything while all the other boys get themselves into trouble. Its like while all the other things are happening Bora is trying to wake up from this nightmare.
After each of the boy's scenes it just flashes to Boragi in her bed still holding on to some hope that it's something she can wake up from and go back to how things used to be.
She's trying to make herself understand how it could all go from being wonderful to this mess that each of the boys have gotten themselves into and are inevitably dragging her down with them.
All the scenes of them having fun and the ones of where each of the boys are getting into trouble while Bora is just sitting in her room show how alone she feels. Like she used to have all the boys at all times while now that things have changed they have left her completely alone to deal with not just her emotions but also theirs.
(you could also say that they left the must vulnerable of them all, age wise, forgotten in this mess.)How do I explain? She's still in denial about everything, but she's still the only one that hasn't changed. She is still the same old Boragi that she was before but you see her slowly being consumed by the same sorrow that consumed the other boys.
She is single handedly keeping her group of friends as grounded as they can be, but losing herself in the process.
Then when she says "Can it all stay the same?" It sounds like a plea but in all honesty it sounds like she's asking herself whether trying to keep the boys sane is all worth it when at the end of the day they are all suffering in silence and neglecting to admit it to one another.And then the last scene we get of her is her finally breaking down. As if accepting that there is no going back, they will never the be the same as they used to be.
It's a large contrast to the previous clips of her laughing with the boys, You could say that she is finally letting go of the responsibility she put on herself to be the strong one while the others break down. She was the glue that held them all together, she was the one that they all fell down on (Hint the phone at the beginning, she was probably talking to one of the boys in the beginning.) but that also meant that she didn't have anyone to fall back on once she let herself fall and now that she has there is no one to stop the inevitable which i'm assuming would be Boragi following the same path as the rest of the boys.Anyways that's my theory, I'm not saying im 100% right but I feel it's pretty close if you analyze the video. Either way everyone did a good job and the song itself is really good.
