Here goes my personal thoughts and feelings about Another Dimension because I have no one to talk about this and I'M SCREAMING AND SHAKING.
TLDR: ITS FUCKING AMAZING IM SO PROUD AND I LOVE HIM SO MUCH
Self cruxificion: WOW. JUST. WOW. Imagine starting your first solo album with a song showing all your ups and downs and how badly the industry treated you over a mistake. Big dick energy to just say yeah yall have been fucking me up, but guess what, here's an album. The melancholy! The anger! The way he apologizes to us AGAIN. Such a deep song. I like how he deviated himself from "kpop" to more underground, that's exactly what he has been saying that he wants to do, since the beginning. So glad he can finally explore that.
The Giant: bro just out there hooting and hollering, love that for him. But the singing. UGHHHH the singing. I love his voice so much. Amazing how he's praising himself for overcoming his difficult times. I hated the thought that he was miserable for all these years. He's stronger than this, he's bigger than those who tried to end him. He's becoming the giant, the legend, and that's his own merit. Also, LOSER LYRICS MENTIONED!! we keep winning.
Studio 54: I CANT BELIEVE IT 🗣️🗣️🗣️ "im so sorry but i love my bigbang" OH GOOOOOODDDDD NEVER TALK TO ME ANYMOREEEE IM HAVING SO MUCH FEELINGS. THE REFERENCE TO "LIES". THE DIRECT MESSAGE. EVERYTHING ABOUT IT. PLAY THIS SONG ON LOOP IN DA CLUB WE BE VIBING. On a serious note, this song makes me feel less like they split up just as a result of the "scandal", makes it feel more intentional. Despite loving his time in the group he needed to be free to shine on his own. "Dirty sun" oof. yeah. we get it, love.
Ovaya: we were happy when we were five and now it's over, we go in five different directions. oh. ohhh stab me. ive heard this before and it didnt end well. talking about loving bigbang AGAIN but having to leave it in the past. OH GOD THIS HURTS. the yellow light making a reference to the crown lightstick. im crying. unrelated but i love how he says "ovaya" sounds so satisfying.
zero coke: very the nbhd/tame impala interlude kinda vibes. iykyk.
another dimension holy dude: he said shout out to all my ADHDers out there, noisy world indeed! all the moon references, he even mentioned kubrick. my god. this does nothing good to my gtop brain btw because it just confirms jiyong's obsession with the moon is because of tabi. ugh. also why the second verse kinda sounds like ji too :/ i know its probably tabi with a lot of voice mods but um. if i close my eyes i can see him rapping it.
seoul chaos: so many art references somebody break it down and analyze this pls im not smart enough but i bet they're fire
desperado: well thats just a sex song. sorry. it is. a banger! "so i love you, love you" sounds to me like a good response to "baby i love you" tho 🤭
for fans: oh now this? this one sounds like it could be a bigbang song. i feel like maybe he's trying to "communicate" with the old fans, since his new songs are a lot more underground and rap, a lot of fans might not listen to the other ones, but by making a very uplifting and pop song might have them listening. dont worry baby, we got the message, we aint going anywhere.
stendhal syndrome: GTOP SONG GTOP SONG O H MY GOD JUST PAY ATTENTION TO THE LYRICS. HE'S LITERALLY TELLING US THEIR STORY. IM GONNA PASS OUT IS HE CRAZY THIS IS INSANE BEHAVIOR. "Do you know how long I've waited since the first night we met" OH HE FELL FIRST AND HE FELL HARD. Describing Jiyong as a fairy AH shut up. "I'll postpone a trip to the moon for you" thats the most romantic shit ive ever heard in my life. Stendhal syndrome is about being overwhelmed with exceptional art. Now cut to GTOP going on multiple art dates and buying art for each other. The whole thing about acting and singing in a play, the thing about the theater. Hm. If you want more go play the role alone. "Turn around back home" right. to your home sweet home you would say, maybe? I could go down a worse path. Or you could go down a flower road. And honestly unless he secretly had someone else that he knows since he was going by the name Tempo that still supports him to this day and it's by his side during all this time even when the dear moon was cancelled then this song cant be about anyone else. It's about monsieur Kwon Jiyong. No doubt. That's it.
be solid: travis scott vibesss. also a gtop song. to me. in my heart. im a gtopper first and a person second. "matching with you" them having a bunch of matching jewelry and pajamas and shared clothes. "baby its cold outside, I'll make it warm" "i want to become someone warm and gentle" WRAP IT UP! GOODBYE!
