How does Seesaw affect Yoongi? How is he?
August 25, 2018
“Can you tell me if Yoongi is doing fine? Did you listen to Seesaw and read the Lyrics? It’s as if he was in a relationship with someone and broke up. I hope he is okay <3”
In terms of what the song is about, it was more a contemplative emotional purging for him regarding the ups and downs of his idea of fans and their support for him versus his support for them. Like, when it becomes too much in terms of expectations of the other on both sides, and when fulfilling those expectations because too much to handle on both sides (buying all the merch/voting/dedicating hours of time to support them - losing sleep, making themselves sick with work, doing more than they are comfortable with to please fans). The up and down has more to do with his perception of his place, his career, and his “relationship” with the fans.
The Devil and the 9 of Cups came out together, again it’s exactly as I said. The 10 of Cups reflects his perception when he’s happy with things, he sees his “wishes granted” as the card itself states, and he has all that he wants, but in a more negative mindset, he sees himself and the fans as being each other’s Devil, both restricting each other and holding each other back in a lot of ways, but the restriction here with The Devil is always self-imposed. He puts himself in that position just as much as his fans do.
The 10 of Cups came out when I touched on his energy in regards to how he’s doing right now. He’s great, lol.
