TOP Screencaps from Monster MV

(Source: forevervip)

(Source: allthoseprettyfaces)

the mv represents bigbang’s struggles against media’s labeling them as ‘monsters’ (because of last year things). 

the cables represent media, and bigbang member’s ‘normal’ self have a hard time running away from their monster-like identity (that the media portrays them as) because of the cable’s tangles.

you can see that the walls are labled with codes and so are the members (ex. seungri’s forehead, daesung’s chest). this really signifies the ‘labeling’ part. no matter who they are (or strive to be) and no matter what path they choose, the codes are written already. it’s worsened by the fact that even if they don’t take the paths of their first choice, the alternate path is labeled anyway. 

gd is out in the open in the midst of the bombing, and it’s clear that he’s the victim here because he’s not the one with the bombs. he’s the one being targeted. but he’s the one with the horn. 

in one part, top is covered in darkness and only his eyes are shown. his identity is not cared for, and people cover him up to create their own vision of him. he’s not really a monster, but who cares? 

there is one part that the member(s) is/are kicking down statues. that’s them trying to break the stereotype of ‘standard beauty’ of music and trying their own styles. but that is frowned upon. 

every time the members go into the darkness, they ‘transform’ into monsters (most notably in the case of taeyang and seungri); likewise, every time people push aside bigbang’s true self in favor of the media’s portrayal of bigbang, bigbang becomes the ‘monsters’ that people fear and members themselves fear. 

so bigbang members run and run. but they can never escape. they will be monsters, perhaps forever, as long as darkness (public’s biased view) and traps of cables (media) exist. 

WHY DOES HE HAVE A MATH EQUATION ON HIS FORHEAD

is this ygs tactic to make me like mat h or someth i n g

Monster (translation by toptopia)

it’s been a while. Seems like you’re doing better since I’ve seen you last.
You got prettier too, though you always looked beautiful in my eyes
But you seem a little different today; you seem unusually cold
The gaze you put on me is full of pity
In front of you, I look small

I act like it’s fine, I try to change the subject.
I have a lot I want to ask, but you cut me off. 
Your hair flows in the wind, and it hits me on my cheeks and leave.  
You turn around and leave just like that, 
would I look silly if I try to hold you back? 

I cant think of anything to say.
Trembling, you take two steps back.
Your words that you are afraid of me
You are the one that makes me crazy 

I love you, baby i’m not a monster
You know the old me 
When the time passes, I will have to disappear 
You’ll know then, baby

I need you, baby i’m not a monster
You know me
It ends, 
but if you leave me like this, I will die. 
I’m not a monster 

You say, let us be together forever no matter what happens.
You say, let us be together when we’re happy and when we’re sad.
You don’t (won’t) say that tomorrow..
I say, let’s love today as if it’s the last day.

Yo, the world without you is like a capital punishment 
I am cut off from the world and it makes me crazy.
Your existence has become an incurable illness for me  
It’s like the reoccurring troubles 
It’s a hope in my heart that I can’t let go of. 

Everyone may turn their backs on me
And everyone may look at me with judging eyes, 
but what really hurts is the fact that you have become a part of that ‘everyone.

I love you, baby i’m not a monster
You know the old me 
When the time passes, I will have to disappear 
You’ll know then, baby

I need you, baby i’m not a monster
You know me
It ends, 
but if you leave me like this, I will die. 
I’m not a monster. 

Don’t go, Don’t go, Don’t go, Don’t leave me 
Don’t do this, Don’t do this, Don’t do this, You don’t seem to be yourself 
Still far apart, With love still divided

Don’t look for me, Don’t look for me, Don’t look for me, Don’t look for me
The last, the last, the last, 
Please remember the me that stood next to you the last time
Please don’t ever forget me  

I love you, baby i’m not a monster
You know the old me 
When the time passes, I will have to disappear 
You’ll know then baby

I need you, baby i’m not a monster
You know me
It ends, 
but if you leave me like this, I will die. 
I’m not a monster. 

I think I’m sick, I think I’m sick.
I think I’m sick, I think I’m sick.
