*I KNEW I COULD TRUST TXT THE MOMENT I REALIZED THAT THERE'S HARRY POTTER REFERENCES.*

​Big Hit is genius, but so is Danny for decoding this

Bighit weren't satisfied to make us lose Braincells over Bangtan universe so they're making us lose more Braincells over the txt universe.......wow bighit could literally Invent next level stuff with these kind of thoughts/ideas

Whenever you see the BigHit MV intro you know your about to go for a mental jog.

Omg I would never think in such a deep way... But it actually makes sense a lot... I don't know who is crazier, whoever in BigHit that made this all or DKDKTV that had to decode it hahaha

Being a huge Harry Potter fan and a fan of txt this song is my jam!!

Woo I'll leave my theory here so I can watch the video and see how much our theories are alike (or not): The theory that really got me going is related to bullying and angst. Starting from the photos for the MV's concept, we have the boys in various different school settings that can be connected to students suffering bullying or trying to hide from bullies. We see them inside the school lockers (where bullies usually shove their victims), or inside bathroom stalls with many graffiti and broken doors (which can represent a place where they can hide or also a place where they can suffer aggression =/). Kai even has a few cuts and bandages on his face, like he has been beaten by someone. We also see the boys sitting under the table, on the library or on the rooftop, places where they can hide from bullies. At the beginning of the song, we also see in the lyrics that they are singing about someone who is suffering and asking for help, someones whos is faking being happy when actually they are in pain. Also, on the MV we have Yeonjun with a cut in his hand and he is the one in the MV who will represent the one who is in pain and who is raging inside. About the rage/negative emotions: we can say that in the MV these emotions are portraited by the fire as a symbol of something destructive. Throughout the MV we see plenty of symbolisms of the boys trying to "put out the fire", which means that they are trying to deal with these bad emotions inside of them, trying to quench them. We have the fire extinguisher, the sprinklers, the book that Taehyun is reading with the title "How to put out the fire" and even the pool where Huening Kai enters using socks with fire emblems on them. The fire can also represent the problems that they are facing but seem unable to stop (since when Beongyu tries to put out the fire in Yeonjun's book it can't be extinguished). We can also see a scene that shows that one of the school's rooms is burning while the boys are fleeing the school at night, which can represent that they are trying to flee from their problems, after accidentally starting a fire in one classroom. The lyrics also show that the boys are trying to flee from their problems, from their suffering, hence the chorus "run away". Back to Yeonjun, he is the one who keeps "setting stuff on fire", like the book or the door at the end, showing that he is the one with the burning anger growing inside of him. He also is the one carrying the little monster plushie around. It is a horned monster, that we can say that represents Yeonjun himself from the Crown/Nap of a Star storyline. There, he was a boy in which head horns suddenly appeared and who was afraid of being seen as a monster by others and we already know that it represents a boy suffering from the pains of growing up and who was afraid of being judged by others. So it makes sense that here he is the one "carrying the fire inside of him", with all these destructive emotions boiling up. Finally, we have the representation of the "magical place" to where the boys are wanting to escape. An "imaginary" place where they can be safe and free from their problems and pain. It begins with the names of their new album: Sanctuary and Arcadia. While Sanctuary doesn't need much explanation, being a safe haven where one will be protected, Arcadia is related to a magical, imaginary place from Greek mythology. It was an idyllic and utopian place, bountiful with nature, where the god Pan resided alongside nymphs, dryads and other fairies. Throughout the MV and on the lyrics we have many things that represent magical, imaginary places like Arcadia, seeing as the world to which the boys go to after passing through the magic door inside the pool. We have references from Harry Potter in the lyrics (from the series of books in which a boy who was bullied by his own family finds safe heaven on a magical land, apart from the real world), we have references from Cinderella (a girl that was bullied by her own family and who is transported to a magical fairy tale at least until the clock struck midnight) and people are also associating the pool scenes with Strangers Thing's Upsidedown - which also is another dimension apart from the real world (because of the city on the windows) and even Monster's SA - which have doors that take you to another world. Being as it is, all of these represents the boys trying to escape from their harsh reality to a more magical, safer world. In the end, we see that Yeonjun's injury is healed and he seems fine. But then, Taehyun finds the toy that represents him half-burned. Maybe it means that even if a person seems to be fine on the outside, she can still be in pain, still be suffering inside. As the lyrics say, "it hurts more when I smile than when I cry". Friendship is something important to help a person who is suffering from bullying and the like but in the end, she has to learn to deal with the angst and bad feelings inside her by herself to be really healed.

so basically txt in their own journey of a child growing up? run away is a story of how someone actually parting way with imaginary friends as we're growing up? big hit always release music with story hidden behind it. i like it!

so in txt universe, taehyun is the main character just like jin in bts universe :o

"maybe he need Hagrid" lmao that got me speechless 😂😂😂

conclusion : TXT is trying to tell us they'll come out with more matured and wilder songs

In the mv when they went through the 'trap door' at the bottom of the pool and fell through into the other world it really reminded me of Harry Potter Philosopher's Stone! But given the Korean name of the song I didn't see any other Harry Potter references... Maybe it's just referencing how Hogwarts became a sanctuary and happy space for Harry and that their friendship/music etc can also be a comforting and happy space for listeners.. And also Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo is sang to Cinderella by her Fairy Godmother, so this is another reference to protecting and helping each other.. Great video, enjoyed your theory a lot! 💕

*_I've been having theories since their debut_*

One more Harry Potter part: “Bibbidi Bobbidi The train is departing Bibbidi bobbidi Our magic island We go past this tunnel When we open our eyes Our dreams become reality” On Platform 9 3/4, the children get on a TRAIN and go through various TUNNELS to get to magical world of Hogwarts, where their muggle-world dreams are actually REALITY. TXT’s TRAIN departs to a magical island where, after going past a TUNNEL, their dreams will become REALITY.

It actually makes sense especially when he at the end of the mv takes his glasses on (like Harry aha) then the door burns and his childhood was behind that door bc the others were leaving etc... I’m watching this at 4:45 AM and this mv is actually hella creepy and sad

Who else just waits for DKDKTV or the other theorist to do the work whenever BigHit releases something?

Everyone: TXT Danny, an intellectual: T by T Seriously tho, thank you for calling them "T by T" when you shorten it--it's actually really smart since we can have something easier to shorten their name down to without using the problematic "TXT" LOL I'm also just mentioning this cuz I personally haven't heard anyone call them that before, but it makes a ton of sense and is handy for us MOAs to know how to shorten their name instead of always calling them "Tomorrow by Together"!

BTS already destroted my brain in so many theories and now here"s TXT......Im dead.

This is like the story I just read in school today. The story is called "Marigold" and it takes place in Great Depression (a period of time where a lot of rich people to run out of business) it talks about a girl named Lizabeth and her family have to live through the struggle of poverty, poignant and meaningful arguments in the family, and Elizabeth is caught between the chaotic emotions of a child and a woman. When she does something she starts to think about it and this shows the adulthood side of her personality but it's new to her because of she never experiences it before. Thanks for reading

joon is probably proud-

When I watched the MV the first thing I thought was, 'TXT has grown up, finally!' So I think your theories are spot-on.

I’ve watched so many theories on this and it’s confusing me 🤯 though this does explain why Yeonjun turns into Taehyun and he’s alone when they are in the jungle place for a second. Because Taehyun is the only one actually there

this is the reason I loved Big Hit so much. cause their song and mv always full theories uwuuu.

I’m still sticking with the other members dying in a fire, it’s more dramatic lol. Plus it depicts trauma from loved ones who have died unnaturally, which is very valid in the world we live in. I never considered as taehyun’s psyche though. When they get to the door, I thought of it as a final transfer point for them to create their own reality. However as we see, Yeonjun sets the door on fire (as he did the book and potentially the library and that one room they showed outside the schools window) and they just stay together for as long as they can. Ultimately they leave him since everyone is ready to move on and finally heal; Taehyun is the last one to come to closure and has a memoir of his friends.

See I knew it someone was gonna come with the theories I've been waiting since they dropped the music video😂

Just a note, not gonna go into the full MV: I think the doll in the end represent breaking free from his old self (persona). You can see it having half of its face like it is a mask/his persona he puts on. The other side is his real self that is starting to show. Edit 2: The doll is also having horns, and looks like a monster (the mask part is having the evil/devil horn and the monster having the normal horn. It can mean the mask is the fake you (persona), so it is not who you TRUELY are, meanwhiles the monster with the normal horn is actually your true self) (and they have a song called Angel or Devil in the album as well). I think when you are trying to understand it all, who you are and why, everything turns upside down. You get very confused because of all the lies and things you have been taught in life. The process to understand ourself can be rough and he might see himself like a monster, but in reality he is not. PS: Horns or ears, it is hard to tell but I think it is horns. Edit 3: I think the Universes Bighit creates work like this: BTS got BU, TXT got TU. Bighit is SOURCE and SOURCE = ALL. I think they have the same "goal", so what they talk about in songs and what they do in MV's are gonna be strongly connected with EVERYTHING. So if you see an BTS MV, they are going to have things connected to TXT in them, if you watch an TXT MV, you have things that connects with BTS. They have their own way of showing everything and they are diffrent people, but in the end the meanings will be the same, and it is not a bad one - LOVE.

I wasn't interested in TXT theories until now.

No one: Literally no one: "wtf bro"😂😂😂😂

When armys and moas are better at decoding theories than alien hunters and Sherlock Holmes 😂😂😂😂

*Y’all really be helping us out with these explanations & I’m so appreciative💜*

Idk how much this can help but in the bts mv "intro: persona" at one point on the chalkboard you can see a sententence that goes "a dream is a small hidden door in the deepest and most intimate sanctum of the soul, which opens to that primeval cosmic night that was soul long before there was conscious ego"(cit. Carl Jung). So i think it might be talking abt that same door the txt boys see in their mv and this could all link together... the whole thing about exploring one's inner soul, going deeper in, like bts are doing with MOTS... it now seems that here txt might be doing the same.

Its more complicated Crown, Nap of a star, yeonjun becoming a monster, taehyun with his power (sight) .....etc

Yess, I was so lost watching their MV. Catchy song tho :]

9 and 3/4 is also their debut date, 201(9) march (3) fourth (4)

Lmao i thought it was run a away from your problems and responsibilities-

I loved this!!! This theory is so cool i would never make the connection like you did!!!

Magic Island i also a reference to their song "Magic Island"

I wish he would do a reaction to this but he only has one ball left soo...😂

This is so well done! Great job Danny!

I love how txt song just show the fantasy-reality songs that are also giving us adventurous and friendship vibes also at the same time give us a really meaningful message! Love txt!!💕😍

it really makes sense tho, bighits froups so far have had now at least one song that focus on growing up and or the transitioning from childhood to adulthood. The symbolism using even those HP references tie it all in and when you see the translations you can piece it all together easier than you could by just listening to it. The scientific research as well i didn't realize that while watching the video and danny really broke down the message of the song quite clearly and concisely enough that it would make sense to even if you bever read harry potter. Great job dud back at it again with another amazing video!

Alright, you won the explained videos so far!! That was really good. Thank you! Your secret important friend at big hit must be clapping now.

This song was just the best out of this year's releases!!

Danny, you are the reason why I watch DKDKTV and your explanations are one of my favorite aspects. I wish I had the money to donate to Patreon. Hopefully, I can become a supporter in the next two years. I wish you could do an explanation on Monsta X "Find You" and Winner "So So" but if your channel is not making money off of this, then I will be ok with just watching their videos over and over again.

I love a birthday present from TXT tho

Nice one, Danny. ✨

Wow good job!! I really liked your explanation!! 💜 👏👍

Ur awesome! Thank you for making your videos ❤️

This may or may not be important but what is behind the glasses like, Yeonjun made a fire throught the glasses. When Taehyun he had the glasses on and was in in the the library about the how to put out a fire thingy but later on he took it of. I agree that Yeonjun is one of Taehyun's sikee(dunno how to spell that) since they're the only people with the same exact glasses. With the door it also sat on fire when Yeonjun wore the glasses. I think there's a meaning where the other members join Taehyun, I noticed Yeonjun is the first one hug him and all that. I feel like Yeonjun is comforting Taehyun. This is just a theory from my unexperienced ass so yeah.

I've never been this early!!! Hi Danny!!!! I love you guys

I WAS WAITING FOR THIS!!! ILY

Good job on this theory!!!! Very well done and makes alot of sense. Be happy

I feel like we are going to get DARK AND WILD ALBUM

Danny, you’re the best!👌🏼

I was waiting for this, thank you my favourite type of videos

Man !!! You really worked hard for this

I waited so much for this video! It's amazinggggg. I love the theory

I really love the way you explains about the theory of the MV. You also add the term of "psyche" which is usually being use to refer to "Jung" personality structure in the pschoanalytic theory and also don't forget the term of "projection".

Thank you for this DKDTV I am really waiting for your explanation. Kamsahamnida😘

Once again, thank you so much for these!

6:58 I thought this will bore me but its very interesting. Goes to show how you have a wider perspective.

thank you for this! love your explained vids :)

Danny, wohoooo !! you did such amazing job, those details explanations are sick !!!!! keep it up ;) . cheers for Danny, welcome back and i will wait you at platform 9 3/4 :p ... xx

Wow at first I thought this was crazy, but the more you explained the more I thought “huh, this actually makes sense”!! Great work!

I was waiting for this video 👍🏼

Awesome Danny! Thanks

it's so catchy and my potter head heart is full

Thank you so much, Danny. 💜

I think at the end when the cut on his finger was healed meant that taehyun had grown into an adult who was capable of coping with the self doubt, so yeonjun is healed and can leave him now. But, since he has lost a significant part of his identity through this process, the teddy bear is half burned. Probably related to a theme about changing as you grow up

Whoa. Danny! Well done. 😍

There is so much going on in bighit MVs. They can make a movie with all this story.

Thank you Danny, I enjoyed your explanation and theory. Looking forward to more.

“The Dream Chapter: Magic” will tell the story of a group of boys who are similar but different, as they go on a magical adventure together. Soobin shared, “This continues from our debut album, and we wanted to tell the story of boys who chase after stars.” Yeonjun stated, “Producing director Bang Shi Hyuk and BTS gave us lots of advice. They gave us advice about the album and what kind of mindset we should have. They told us that we should just work hard while fully trusting the agency.” Yeonjun continued, “BTS gave us wings to fly. In order to spread those wings, I believe we need healthy bodies. We will try our best to be a junior group that makes [BTS] proud.” The members also shared their thoughts about their upcoming title track “Run Away.” The Korean name of the track translates to “Waiting for you at platform nine and three-quarters.” Taehyun commented, “I did not know the name would be even longer than our debut title track. I think that is a unique trait that defines us.” He continued, “We look for titles that best describe the song. It doesn’t matter how long or short the title is, we just hope for a title that describes what the lyrics contain well.” TXT concluded their showcase by sharing their goals for the future. The members said, “We want to receive rookie awards. Another goal is to show only the best sides of ourselves by promoting while taking care of our health. When promoting, our health is more of a priority than winning.” Source : Soompi

We won’t forget what Danny did, we are here for David, good video n e way

Know we all know why Nayeon cried to this song when they performed it🥺🥺

The glasses and the fire could also link to lord of the flies which is an allegorical novel about social roles and groups in our world. In the book the character that represents dictatorship picks on the weakest member of the group and uses his glasses to start a fire. The glasses represent knowledge and wisdom whereas the fire represents uncontrollability and mans essential illness

This is what you call a Comeback not just popping and jumping

I was already loving the song but your explanation made me appreciate it even more so thank you Danny.

i mean it makes sense. Also awesome job decoding this for us :)

Wow... Very convincing theory 🙌 Great Job Danny 👍♥️

I've been waiting for this explanation video

Wow! Thank you for this!!!

Just a small correction - the Dursleys, not the Dudleys. Dudly Dursley is a child that torments Harry along with his family. Great video!👌

I would never have been able to think so deeply.. You blowed my mind.. You are a GeNiUs

Thank you Danny!!

So I watched your video and as a psychology student that makes a lot of sense! This is however my original interpretation before watching this video that i wrote down. I feel like the mv is making all these references to common fantasy novels we have read to escape from our truths... Running away. The album name is dream chapter obviously signifying different aspects of the term 'dream'. As for the mv... Soobin, Taehyun and Kai, yeonjun all are technically doing mindless things wishing to get out of their universe. The moment Taehyun closes his eyes he seems to visualise the world he wants to escape to. Yeonjun too makes the reference to platform 9¾ and it seems that whenever he is looking through his glasses in his personal dream world not only his doodles but even the door in the end of the mv burns as if to show that he cannot escape his reality. I feel like they want to escape but they keep getting reminded... especially soobin and yeonjun. Soobin looks at that door in wonder as if to think if it will actually workm escaping into the door. And as the end scene signifies... Either they are trapped in their dream world or they realise its not real. Something along those lines... I took the ones to be aware of this thing to be Soobin and Yeonjun because they are the eldest in the lot and perhaps they are more matured in this mv. They are obviously representing the scenario of middle school to high school kids and what they go through mentally. Even the titles make sense in this format. And since you guys mentioned the doll... I feel the doll is... maturity. How Yeonjun's scar fades but the doll is burnt represents how accepting that he cannot run away from the reality helps healing his scars (the problems people go thru in this conflicting time period. Puberty and study pressure etc. adolescence in general.)

Damn I didnt know you made no money from these videos. They are amazing! I would have never thought about something so deeply. Thank you for your hardwork

IT FREAKING MAKES SENSE WOOOW DANNY!!!

Great Job Danny. Very helpful thoughts.

Wow! thank you so much!!!!!!💙 love from Guatemala🇬🇹

I was waiting on thisssss

Thank you for this video!

im- this you guys are so helpful thank you-

One of my favorite Txt songs. It sounds upbeat and sad at the same time..fits perfectly with the lyrics…

I already see BigHit taking notes on this theory😅😂

I thought.. that TXT is having superpowers

Great job!!!!

Whoa, Danny, your theories make a lot of sense and are completely unique to others' interpretations. I especially liked your analysis of the pool room being Taehyun's mind. My mind was blown hearing that!!

Awsome... Soo satisfied with explaination...👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👌🏻

Y'all know I was waiting on this video. Y'all KNOW!
