Hey i know that the way i interpret the song is probably not what they where trying to say through the song. But from reading the lyrics i see alot of references that make me interpret it the way i interpret it. AND anyone that knows me knows that this is how i interpret most of the things in life lmao so dont get too hot headed about it. Its just my way of seeing it. Even tho its not my type of song i can easily enjoy it and this performance was probably one of my favourites. Love it🥵 if people get very hot and heavy about it i will edit this comment and explain my point of view better. Thank you ALL u have to do is read the lyrics but remove the small part from "Stop" until "This is the prize i give to you" .... Remove that part and read all the lyrics again from the start.... whole other meaning xD If you want to watch more of my Room Saga Journey u can find the whole playlist here kzfaq.info/sun/PLY038Barc5Cyk3BO-jJBf_1vc2vg40xQO

Love the little Taejin moment there. 💜

I really appreciate you taking the time to read the lyrics and watch the explanation videos to understand I laughed so hard at your comments, i can't wait to see your reaction to house of cards and the words they used 😂😂

One sexy song and an even sexier performance! Have to say V and Jungkook were particularly hot in this 🔥😜

Pied Piper and Magic Shop have been my top 2 BTS songs for years. I believe they're two sides of the same coin which is ARMYxBTS's symbiotic relationship. They explore this theme often. It's been a long time since I've tried to describe that and my brain is crap, so it'll be rubbish. Magic Shop: we share the same trials and moments of darkness, so we can create a room in our hearts, and when we need to go in it, they will be there to comfort us. This, of course, is reciprocal. Pied Piper: They seduce us with their performance, we reward them with our attention, and sorry, hope we can forgive them and handle our own shit responsibly, because they need our adulation to survive.

OMG V SO SO SOOO HOT 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I like the video with Dimple and then Pied piper. Dimple really sets the mood for pied piper.

The lyrics repeatedly say contradictory things, and it's disorienting! It's like a person who is trying to confuse you and get you to just give up on logic and follow your senses. (How's that for saying what it is without saying what it is, lol?!) You like it BETTER - versus - because it's BAD. You-ou can't sto-o-op [the entire vocal line croons softly] - versus - STOP! [Namjoon shuts them down!] You can't help yourself - versus - Stop! [Yes you CAN help yourself.] Your room is covered with my photos [Such excessive behavior! You're Bad! ] - versus - I'm giving you this song as a prize, [Because you're a] Good Girl. And on it goes! Punishment vs paradise, try to resist vs don't refuse, can't close your eyes vs just close your eyes, I'm dangerous vs I'm sweet, here to rescue vs here to ruin.... This could make a person feel a BiT cRaZy! BTS duality strikes again.

This song has a chokehold on most of us. 😅 I agree with you about the dom stuff, always got that vibe too

Sorry I’m late - work 🙈 I love Pied Piper, it manages to be funny and sexy at the same time, it’s cleverly written and sassy…And it’s the first time I realized Jungkook had grown up without me noticing 😂😂🤷‍♂️ He is a year younger than me and somewhat sheltered, I had always thought of him as a kid…😇 You are doing a great job keeping this channel clean and respectful - but I agree, it’s a really sexy song - and that’s not anything to be ashamed of…

Gotta agree with you! This is a very sly, playfully dark but never silly song by seven confident young men who are very in control and aware of the heightened relationship between a performer and an audience. It's seductive but with a wink that reminds us we've decided to allow ourselves to be seduced.

I believe I mentioned this before; what I like most about your reaction videos is that you’re genuinely honest and you try your best to keep things clean. There are a few reactors that I’ll watch based on that alone. Thank you. Also, I’m so happy that you’re diving into The Rise of Bangtan. I have learned so much about BTS’s journey, both individually and as a group. 💜💜💜. I’ll definitely watch those reaction videos too.

I’m so jealous of the audience, they definitely had some erotic experience 😭 It’s okay to interpret the song in whatever way you want, Namjoon said recently that he prefers to write lyrics abstractly , so it could mean more things (I’m not the best in English 💀)

I see it very much as analysis of the fan - famous person relationship and the mutual addiction/codependency between them but of course i get what you mean 😅 they really enjoyed getting the chance to perform this i think - since it was a b-side track that wasn’t included in any tour, they gave us this performance (together with the other muster performances) as a gift for bts’ 6th anniversary at muster 2019. Also Jin and V love to flirt with each other on stage, you’ll notice it a lot moving forward - there are whole compilation videos of moments like these 😂

I don’t think that particular words in English means something else, unless is explicit but not as a translation. The general idea of the lyrics of course is sexy, not sexual, is about temptation and falling for them. I don’t know any ARMY that doesn’t love this song specially because of this performance and how sexy they are. Not only JK and V, all of them are playing with us.

Hi. The thing with the camera angles. This muster was streaming at the same time as the in-person one and usually, in the streaming, you have the option to choose between 5 or 6 cameras.. Are some focus, and others full stage.. This one particular is focused on the member that is singing at that time.. Hugs from Argentina!!

When you see lyrics like "blowing" - it usually means both the innocent kind and the naughty kind, lol. We know that some of the boys had girlfriends before they were in BTS, and I would wager that none of them are virgins. They make sexual jokes about each other and their lyrics often have double meanings. Yoongi especially adds a lot of sexual stuff, lol (Converse High, 2nd Grade, Agust D, Cypher Pt.3, etc.). Foreigners often ask, did they mean that!? Do they know what that means in English!? YES. Yes, they do, lolololol

Please also see muster 2018 pied piper! The one thats with white outfits and they have black hair 🥰

And the double entendres are deliberate, IMO - these are very bright men, and grown men, they are no longer innocent boys - and it is obvious to me, as an adult woman - and there is nothing wrong with it - they are hot - if such a thing is possible, they are tastefully sexy, and they frikkin know just how hot they are (as I said, they are clever - and they are men, this is 2019) - and they are mocking us (gently) 😂😂🤷‍♂️ So many Army become angry at any mention of BTS and “sex”, if I comment that Yoongi is looking particularly sexy, or Jimin’s dance is hot - I am often accused of sexualizing them…And that is bizarre to me, because (although I don’t know any of their sexual orientation) they all identify as male, they are all adults and have been for YEARS, and surely it is more insulting to a grown man if he is treated as a child and de-sexualized. They are dancing and singing on stage, and so often their choreo is sensual (even sexual at times), I can see an awareness in them - they KNOW, and if the audience didn’t respond, wouldn’t that be embarrassing, maybe even humiliating? Aren’t we supposed to find them sexy when they are on stage like this? Yes, there are songs when they aren’t intending to be sexy, and maybe they are being funny instead (Spinebreaker, for example) - but if they aren’t hot on stage performing Baepsae, the song would not have the same impact - all of this is my opinion only and I’m not trying to degrade them of course (I have to put this because I will get some hate and I don’t want to fight with anyone) 😊🙏💜💜

It’s a good song, I like that they are teasing Army and having fun. It is sexy but not grossly sexual like what we get over here in the US. Where they literally shake everything in your face. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Definitely the song is supposed to be sexy.. they've got the body rolls to support it. 😅 It's just Namjoon's verse that's about the studying and career aspect and that too is very teasing and cocky like 'dont be too obsessed with us' I mean the cheek of these guys 😬 Also they perform dimple and pied piper together and dimple sets a really good mood tbh before pied piper. I like dimple more.

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU ! BTS roasting Army, mocking our obsession in them but in the end begging us to remain obsessed with them. Lot of hot words, hot attitudes and stares… this muster took place in June 2019. This is the only recording, sometimes the angle isn’t ideal, INDEED. You are not taking the lyrics on the wrong, every word they use is always chosen for a reason, you just have to find it on your own, and my interpretation is so close to yours 😘

V's birthday is coming, Des.30 🎊😙 Plz react kim taehyung king of fancam 💜💜

Dimple + Pied Piper back to back are a danger to our collective sanity. Let's leave it at that :D... for me the 5th Muster Live in Osaka (D-1) is the BEST Pied Piper performance, btw. V looks liquid while dancing and the vocals are absolutely insane, especially Jimin's.

Taejin Moment is on Fire 🔥

OMG I'm cracking here....love your reaction!!! 2021 "pipe has one meaning" and you paused it at 9:56 "I'm endlessly blowing" you had me laughing to tears! (teleios!!)

OMG, so funny seeing you keeping it PG13 while trying to explain your dirty mind in a non dirty way. 🤣🤣🤣 Like a mentioned before this is just a nice song, no hidden meaning behind it, very straight forward, written in a very clever way with a sassy as fk deliverance. Like someone on the comments bellow said "fan - famous person relationship and the mutual addiction/codependency".... They know... They KNOW what they are doing while singing those lyrics. The first time I heard it I was like Noooo fng way!!!... Then I was like ok, they are not saying it, but they know they own us. Regarding Tae and Jin... 🤣..... Somewhere in your videos of "Save Me" you mention something about those two "supporting each other - like giving each other energy", I remember thinking "just wait and see". Those two...They have a couple of songs where they love to "flirt" with each other, specially in concerts. They have a special bond. I mean they all love each other, and they all have different bonds with each member, just this one is a very cute one.

Brilliant! 😁 Really enjoyed your reaction video Nelson. Yeah its hard to describe the song in a word or two. I think the simplest most innocent word is maybe cheeky - but that really doesn't cover it 😆 loved your comments about V's moments "Things happen" 🤣. Anyway I love this song, the lyrics and performance but even just the sound of it, I love the overall production of the song. Just with the sound of the song its a really fun upbeat song you can groove to and to me like many of their songs it sounds unique. 💃💜

And who's got to say what's the right interpretation of the song? ;-) And, for the records, the ones who whines and say that this song is not suggestive as hell, are either dense or willfully blind :-P

You're so funny. The song is most definitely about love... and obsession. It is a metaphor used to describe the relationship between BTS and ARMY. In the story of the Pied Piper, he uses his flute to play music that lures the children of the village away after that town's mayor doesn't honor an agreement to pay the PP for ridding the town of its rat problem. BTS use this as a metaphor to describe them and to show ARMY they should be more self-aware about how much they indulge in BTS - it’s fine as long as it's not taking them away from their responsibilities, and they should know when to let go and honor their agreements and handle their responsibilities. BTS lyrics can be very deep and meaningful, and BTW, this is one of my favorite songs of theirs. I especially dig the line versions. Love your channel! 💜

I am VERY amused.

No, you’re right. I’ve been saying since the first time I heard this song that it was a seduction. BTS can publicly say that it’s about whatever, but I know that they actually meant it as a seduction even if they never come out and say that.

Right before this song the vocal line sang Dimples. Now there's a performance that would seduce anyone.

Hey Nelson. 🍑's fine, thanks for asking. You're just at your best when you're doing stream of consciousness rambling. I'm glad you don't edit it out. Some of us just can't help where our minds go, you know? Love this song and performance but Dimple, the song preceding it, has probably resulted in much, much more damage, especially from this same show but it's always hot. The vocal line kills the dance and the glances. 🥵

I think you were looking for word "flirting" or "seduce" I think this words fit this song... Like I (BTS) still make sure you are close and focus on me but let's not make it toxic. Ah it is clever way to say that Army is dear to them but still flirt with audience and have fun in one, I see it like this... And to use fable of Pied piper to show what they mean - great metaphor. Especially bc it is not happy story, in the end it is very dark, so like they try to make sure that their and fans story dosen't end like that in fable, something like: still follow me but not to death. Ok now I make it dark XD

The little bit they sang in in festa room did not prepare you for this performance 🤣

Forgive me when my comment will likely create more “hate” reactions, but as a bi-sexual, I hope that you have also experienced the wealth of confusion and joy that sexual contact with at least two different genders permits one to experience. And your “dom/sub” comment also resonated positively with me! Keep on being honest. Your personal courage is inspiring!

😆😅Like everyone said here, they know what they are singing, we too ARMYS know it. Do dimples too, it was performed before this by the 4 vocals.

You said the word "dramaturgy" in a completely Russian pronunciation and for a second I thought that my brain was already rewriting the English pronunciation into Russian in my head🙃

Ah yes, Pied Piper; aka BTS bullying ARMY for three minutes. XD But seriously tho, there very much is a little erotic vibe to this song; they are attractive, and they know it. They know what they do to us. The general meaning I get is, “Don’t get obsessed, don’t let your love for us turn sick…but with that being said, we have *no* intention of letting you go. We will never let you go.”

Jimin is so hot

I never saw Pied Piper live. But noooow I'm kinda like: yeah ok "please ruin me" :D :D :D

LOVE this song!

dude I love that you mentioned the sensuality and the dom/sub vibes cause i feel like some fans are bending over backwards to ignore this layer/interpretation of the lyrics, while i think nobody could possibly write lyrics this horny on accident :P

It is an erotic song, no doubt. But remember they are also teasing their female fans about becoming so obsessed with Idols that other parts of their lives suffers for it (such as school work). It's very tongue-in-cheek. Erotic but also a gentle rebuke. One of the many things BTS is so good at is acting out their songs, completely becoming the mood of the song. I'm 54 and far too old to see the members in a sexual way but this song...reminds me of how 16 use to feel. Great job Nelson! (though I do think you might be reading a tiny bit more B&D into the song then BTS intended 😋)

🤣... now you see what i meant. Can't wait to see your take on it.

i totally see ur interpretation, i personall think itssaying that they are taking over your life but in a very playful, sorta erotic way, like the lyrics definitly dont have one single meaning, and are very playful purposefully, and i agree its very playfully subtle dom/sub maybe on purpose from a lyrical perspective.

You are absolutely right. The pied piper must seduce lure and destroy. Thet is why pleyfulness and flirting.

🔥🔥🔥

I have seen some translations of this song use the word flute instead of pipe.

This is a VERY SEXY performance!! You are NOT wrong 😘😘😘😂😂😂

Difficult to say if your interprétation is good or not, the most important : it's yours Lol ! There is always some 'lost" during the translation Korean to english (that's why I enjoy the DKDKTV explanations when they exist), and also, some american cultural context who change the meanings of a word. (exemple with War of hormone ) As a non anglo-saxon, I 'm sometimes surprised because american reactors laugh at sexual inuendo that I don't notice at all. Plus, RM as songwriter enjoy to play with words and meanings. But no matter what they exactly entend, Pied Piper is clearly a sexy song, and the most "flirty" and playfull performance of BTS (JK and V just killed Army with their hotness LOl ! ) And there is nothing wrong with that, I enjoy it !

Please react to BTS House of Cards live. Thanks

Mood Nelson all the video 😏😉 A funny reaction! It's a sensual song, really sensual. I think it has to do with this thing you mentioned in the beginning, about the Thousands of fancams and Thousands of angles of each other and also what they are saying about V app, twits, etc. I see it as them seducing Army and army having this collective craze. I admit I was and am part of that madness from the sane side (I hope). Waiting for their updates, being on the hour they are going to release new content, being part of this wave that is pushing forward. Personally I was surprised when I realized I was becoming a fan of something, but I'm happy to be here. And I think they from the outside and you also with a less affected point of view want to say what they want to say, we all know that. I don't think there's a lot of spin to put on it. Regarding the interpretation that they themselves give to the songs, well, if you are interested in V live you have two options to guide you. N1 watch the intros they used to do hours before new albums are released (now they do it after the release) where they are all 7 and play and give spoilers and stuff. N2 (personally much clearer and calmer) are the RM Reviews after the release of the ambumes. Here RM sits down and talks us through song by song, what the creation process was like and the lyrics. Who wrote what and looking for what feeling, etc. I guess you haven't reacted to any of the full albums yet, but as soon as you do I recommend you to watch these Reviews so you can also get the word of the artists themselves and see if your interpretation was right or not. I think it would be a good exercise 😉. See you around!

To me this song is about levels and the reason that u probably c so many interpretations and I wanna say they are all right. The lyrics about v live and such take u on the safe this is about our fans, but the pied piper storyline takes on a bit darker tone. I also c the shall we say more "sexy" tone of the song...it's one of my faves from them. I'm ok w/ the this is about our fans but also, aren't I kinda sexy dangerous but u still love me thing💁‍♀️

but this is like their most sexy song to this day sorry they were trying to call us out and wound up seducing us 😭

Love your very ‘careful’ reaction to this one… ikr 💜 So if you want to watch what u think the cam had deprived you of seeing.. here’s the link to V focus fancam… enjoy! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rpd0ptyq27CWlaM.html

It’s like..... any sexual fantasy or experience you may have had as an adult watcher! Or the experiences one may have on LSD, MDMA or mushrooms. I REALLY want to support your recovery from hard, addictive drugs, but I also do not want to deny positive experiences from these other sources. The 72 year old lady.

please react to "Dimple" live it's awesome !

Nice reaction. I like it. Thankyou

I can't wait to see your reaction to this song ! Haha 😁

Please react Jungkook euphoria thank you🙏💜

as not english speaker I can only imagine what exactly meaning is hiding behind pipe. Do you mean exactly that what me? I mean EXACTLY? .)

What version of The Pied Piper did you read as a kid??? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!

I think pipe was a bad translation, they could have used 'flute' 😭

You made me realize how tasteless American songs still are. I stopped listening to American songs for so long and I guess they still singing the same thing. No matter what your age is music can affect your mind. You probably listen to too many so every time you listen to a song your mind would sexualized it if it has such lyrics in it. Kpop is different from American song because there is restriction.

I completely agree with the sexual innuendo of this song, It's very easy to interpret in that way. I love this performance too, they all look incredible. The vocal line do Dimple just before this at the Muster and that has some very suggestive dancing in it. Can you say body rolls? *hot*
