Basically this fact stimulates what the whole Sober MV is standing on, it’s about what is the world made of, reality, dreams, imagination, which each person can choose where to live (i.e artists usually tend to live in their imagination to bring it to reality as paintings/illustration/music/etc)
the white world is the reality as we all know, and the green natural environment is the imagination/dreams
and we all know the song itself titled Sober as in being aware of the reality, and being the opposite (drunk/numb/day dreaming/even sleeping/etc) is bringing the dreams and imagination
noting that wherever there’s smoke, means they’re dreaming as it’s fueling their imagination
Jiyong trapped in a closet with one bed smelling a few roses > field full of beds and him jumping and being with the one he loves
Stop acting like you’re all that
You’re actually the most pathetic
It’s hard for me to be sober
I can’t do anything
I hate being sober
I can’t fall asleep without you
(this part is like so straightforward, he can’t be with the one he loves if he was in the real world)
Daesung playing on imaginary drums > playing on actual drums
Time is so damn slow, I’m just growing old, I live like I’m dead
I have so many damn things to do but I have nothing that I want to do
(metaphor which he portrayed them as he always wanted to play the drums but never got them, only in his dreams)
YB tripping and falling > running in a field sitting in a weird colorful car (also the glass cage one can be like sth blocking his imagination or dreams cuz he’s clearly in his dreams but can’t get to them ‘save me’)
Hey doctor doctor, please save me
Because I’m about to go insane
/
Hey TAXI TAXI, take me away
Because this place is too hard to be in
(save him and take him from reality, these are some of the best lines imo)
Seungri counting the ‘money’ where it says ‘this is your god’ and trying to catch them because this is the reality > throwing away actual money and that never happens in reality as if money doesn’t/shouldn’t matter
If you only chase after money, power and fame
Your crotch is gonna rip and you’re gonna fall
(no need for explanation really, “don’t let the money control you”)
TOP jumping around on the floor with a hours toy > in a field with an actual living animal and super powers
The world is cold to me
People’s eyes are prickling on me
I seem like an adult but I’m really a child that’s really tall
My young dreams are just faded fantasies
(it’s literally what TOP is doing in the mv, letting loose without anyone judging him)
/
People don’t understand me
So I just wanna lose it without even knowing
(even top himself said many times how people don’t get him/think he’s awkward why he acts as a kid)
/
I’m like Popeye without spinach
(in reality he’s a superman without super powers)
At the end we see them all together in the field running after the smoke as if they’re holding into their dreams, first u see them running as if every and each one of them was in their own reality and now they broke free (cuz they’re still in the cloths of their reality where they were trapped)
