Do u think chanbaek kiss is a fanservice??

Just answered it

[yeolspuppy]

I have a question.... Do u think chanbaek kiss is a fanservice??

No. I can conclude it based on the way they both acted, especially Baekhyun. The boy was obviously trying to check if the cameras caught their kiss or not.

Whats the most important tumblrs/youtube channels about chanbaek that you recomend to everyone who wants to get deeper with the ship?

I don’t use YouTube for Chanbaek but I still use Tumblr and Twitter a lot! Unfortunately a lot of the blogs that did deeper analysis on here (like @awkwardmickey, please come back sunbaenim) have either gone on hiatus or left the site but there are still some left! I’d recommend @yeolspuppy, @yeolhyunabode, and @eternal-chanbaek! On Twitter I recommend @chanyeoloving and @chanbaekeonnie, two accounts who are very quick to update on moments and I get a lot of my videos from them!

Chanyeol - ‘’With you’’ (lyrics analysis)

Hi there, everyone who reads my analysis and always waits for my new posts!!!

Today I’m gonna talk about another beautiful song. It’s called ‘’With you’’, is from EXO’s new album (okay why am I saying this, lol everyone knows that).

Anyways, when I’ve read the lyrics of this song, I thought ‘’That’s it. You have to analyze it’’.

So here we will talk about the lyrics of this song. 

As you all know, I have 2 other analyzes about Chanyeol’s self composed song ‘’Heaven’’ and about ‘’Creep’’ (he made a cover of it). We will compare it with ‘’Heaven’’ lyrics as well because to me, ‘’With you’’ is obviously related to it, so I couldn’t ignore it.

There’s so much to say so I don’t even know where to start from but well, LET’S DO IT.

Firstly, befe the album was even released, as we all saw, ‘’With you’’ was the song of Baekhyun’s teaser.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ue5911MOqDc

People can come up with many ideas but I, personally, don’t think it’s just a coincidence. After all, light is Baekhyun’s power.

Next, it’s important, so let’s see what Chanyeol actually said about the song and that way we can also see why it’s feels like ‘’Heaven’’ (Part 2).

(TRANSLATION)

‘‘The genre of this song was my favorite type and I felt comfortable when I listened to it. While writing the lyrics of the song, I thought about the people I love, I thought about fans a lot too. I also thought about the times I’ve spent with the members....’‘ - Chanyeol

It was obvious he wrote it for the members when we listened to his self composed song ‘’Hands’’. When you read the lyrics, it’s clear how he expressed his thoughts, his feelings for the members as they always helped him and supported him.

BUT IN THIS CASE

It’s really hilarious how he said he thought about the members, when the whole song is about a man being deeply in love. Clearly, it’s not about friendship or brotherhood.

Well, unless it’s really about Baekhyun, his member mate, what he said makes real sense.

Since I want people to understand how’s this song related to ‘’Heaven’’, let’s do a little throwback.

This is what Chanyeol said about ‘’Heaven’’.

‘’I’ve written the song as If I was really in love. It’s about the lover who fell from the sky’’. 

PLUS

In order to remember the details, I have watched the live video where Chanyeol talked about ‘’Heaven’’ and it was cute to find out how he kept looking to Baekhyun’s direction while explaining the lyrics. Lol.

Ain’t claiming anything guys, watch the video yourselves, maybe you have another opinion. I just said what I saw.

Baekhyun pointing at himself while singing ‘’Hello angel, you’re like a painting...’’

Baekhyun saying he likes exactly those lyrics.

I don’t know about you guys but it says a lot to me.

By the way, if anyone wants to read the full analysis about it, here is the link.

https://yeolspuppy.tumblr.com/post/154371991400/chanyeols-self-composed-song-heaven-lyrics

Now let’s go back to ‘’With you’’.

~~~~~~~~~~~

No one was surprised anymore when Baekhyun said his favorite song from the album was ‘’With you’’.

Up to now, Chanyeol has always compared his beloved one to the sky, the stars, angels. It’s not what we say, it’s what he says himself in his lyrics.

That’s damn obvious already since we all remember when he was asked to describe Baekhyun with one word, he said ‘’Sky’’, right?

Anyways, to me, ‘’With you’’ is much deeper. This song is much more intimate. It shows how deep, how strong the relationship is with the person he wrote the song about. If you read the lyrics of ‘’Heaven’’, you can see many, really MANY references in the lyrics, so there’s no doubt both songs are about one and the same person. To not assume things, let’s make sure ;)

Not to go far, guys. The first lyrics of these songs are almost the same. So similar. Chanyeol sees his lover, when he looks to the sky, to the stars.

The following sentences as well; Chanyeol’s beloved one resembles everything that shines, resembles the light. And in both songs, Chanyeol mentions

‘‘even if the street lights go out and the moon disappears...’‘

‘‘when the night sky thickens..’‘

It’s still bright because his beloved one is the light and is there to shine for him. As if no matter what happens, Baekhyun is always there to make Chanyeol feel better and solve any problems.

‘‘The whole world is tinded with light

You naturally take my hand and

It’s getting tainted by me...’’

I relate this to Baekhyun’s bright personality. Not only his power is the light, but he, himself is a very bright person, like a little sunshine.

All of the EXO members mostly call him ‘’mood maker’’ because of that. Especially Chanyeol.

I find it very interesting that when the members are asked about who’s the mood maker of the group, they all answer Chanyeol or Baekhyun. And Chanyeol always says it’s Baekhyun. He always says Baekhyun is the one who makes the atmosphere around better, makes everyone feel happy. And I think it’s really cute how we can see the reflection of his words in the lyrics of this song.

Chanyeol has been talking about light since 2014. I hope you all guys remember his old profile picture in Instagram. Here it is.

His most favorite expression I guess.

‘‘Happiness Delight’‘

And what actually is crazy here

If we translate ‘’Happiness De light’’ it basically means ‘’Happiness from light’’.

Think about this.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

And those last sentences are the KEY.

‘‘Sometimes I think that if you look exactly the same as me...’‘

It’s not even a secret for anyone that Baekhyun and Chanyeol are very similar. They have common interests, the same music taste and etc. No wonder that Chanyeol himself said Baekhyun is his soulmate.

Again here. 

A person so similar with him he feels like that person is his reflection in the mirror.

A person he sees everyday.

To make it even more clear (though I don’t know how this can get even more obvious lol)

Let’s do another throwback to 2016.

Here’s one of the most popular interviews of Chanyeol and Baekhyun, something very rare, when they talked about each other. Yes, the VIVI MAGAZINE Interview.

Read the lyrics of the song? Now let’s see what Chanyeol said here about Baekhyun.

‘‘Nothing has changed...’‘ since it’s been long.

‘‘Play games together, work out together, our hobbies go together well...’‘

This just proves it one more time. How close they are and how similar they are, how they do everything together because they match with each other better than with anyone else. And this is what Chanyeol keeps talking about in the lyrics as well.

This is how he talks only about Baekhyun. That says a lot.

To make it as clear as water, let’s see how Chanyeol describes his ideal type.

‘‘Appearance doesn’t matter to me. I prefer someone I can compose with, someone I can cook with, someone who smiles a lot, is honest, someone who has the same music taste as me’‘.

Composing together since decades.

Chanyeol, who invited Baekhyun to cook together, though Baekhyun is not even good at cooking.

Baekhyun who smiles as much as he talks, Baekhyun who’s sincere, honest than anyone else, that’s why he keeps talking about sensitive topics during broadcasts, concerts and so on, making other members feel nervous and awkward, lol.

Back to our interview, guys, the last point. Chanyeol said Baekhyun and him have the same music taste, so they talk about music related topics as well.

That’s not even all.

I think some of you will remember once Chanyeol was asked to describe his ideal type and he said ‘’Someone who would laugh at my jokes’’.

In my opinion, Baekhyun is the only person who always laughs at Chanyeol’s jokes, no matter whether they’re really funny or not. It’s like no one understands their inside jokes. Only two of them.

And even if the other members don’t laugh, they always laugh at each other jokes.

https://twitter.com/TheEksorcist/status/830391318375387137

And this is what Baekhyun said about Chanyeol during VIVI MAGAZINE Interview.

Their words make even more sense once you see what Baekhyun actually said about ‘’With you’’.

‘‘Love someone so much that you start looking like each other’‘.........?

‘‘Our sense of humor become the same...’‘..........?

This is something I don’t even want to explain in details. Everything is clear for you all I guess. But it is very hilarious that he speaks about people in general AND suddenly switches to ‘’our sense of humor become the same...’’.

As if he’s personally involved in the song.

~~~~

Another lyrics I could not ignore, guys.

Let’s say, this is just my opinion BUT

When I was reading the lyrics, I thought it would be unfair to not mention Chanyeol’s following words from the interview

‘’We chat together with Baekhyun all night till we both forget about time’’.

No comments needed, yeah.

And there it goes.

‘‘We talked all night....How was your day?

You are the best

I’m more brilliant because of you’’

We can see, Chanyeol finds his inspiration in that person. He thinks that person is the best, someone he can learn from and become a better person every day. 

Gotta put this here, at this point.

‘‘Be it drama, and music, acting activities, singing with other artists, it’s always perfect no matter what he does...’‘

Once again, his words about Baekhyun find their reflection in the lyrics.

I don’t know about you guys but the first lines got to my heart so much.

‘‘Find me in your eyes like a habit

Deepening night

I pause for a moment

I want to keep it in my eyes’’.

Through these lyrics we can see it again, the closeness and just how much Chanyeol loves his beloved one. Based on the lyrics, I can say they have been together for a really long time.

Well, 6-7 years is so damn long.

It’s just impossible to write such lyrics without actaully being in love. 

Really beautiful how Chanyeol doesn’t want to let the light disappear, he wants to keep it in his eyes.

Explains why he stares at Baekhyun 24/7.

Sorry for the pics, I couldn’t help myself.

Every line, every lyric of this song is so full of love, I can’t miss any of them. Here Chanyeol talks not only about similar characters, hobbies and feelings but also physicial similarities. It is very interesting in my opinion. Because so many people talked about Chanyeol and Baekhyun looking so similar sometimes that when you look at their pics, at some point, it’s hard to understand whether it’s Chanyeol or Baekhyun.

These lyrics are so important. Chanyeol doesn’t miss anything, he describes his beloved one so well we can literally see that person’s image in our head.

‘‘Even the way you speak, feels like it’s me...’‘

The same lame jokes, the same expressions. We all have seen of that enough, right?

‘‘Every single small thing was me being like you...’‘

When we read these lyrics, we can see that person is someone Chanyeol respects a lot, someone he admires.

This reminds me of all those moments when Chanyeol and Baekhyun burst in laugh together. 

Baekhyun laughs and Chanyeol follows him.

Chanyeol laughs and Baekhyun follows him.

Also here.

They are both on the floor. In their own world. And even here, Chanyeol follows Baekhyun. The moment Baekhyun throws himself on the floor, Chanyeol follows him.

And crazy, but  Chanyeol gets up from the floor as soon as Baekhyun does. (thanks Noel for noticing this).

Chanyeol always does what Baekhyun does.

I think this what exactly he meant by ‘’ ‘‘Every single small thing was me being like you...’‘

Baekhyun is an example for him. Once again we see it.

The last lines of the song are no less sweet than the others. And here I would like to bring ‘’Heaven’’ too

In ‘’Heaven’’ Chanyeol promises to protect his beloved one, to protect that person’s heart so that it won’t be hurt.

And what’s really interesting and beautiful, in ‘’With you’’ , this time he asks that person to promise to stay with him.

I think here Chanyeol means their fame, the scene when he talks about ‘’the lights’’ . 

Means when they’re no more young and popular, when they’re not idols anymore, they’d still be together. (Again, thanks to Noel for this. Ugh her mind).

And the last ‘’Love you’’ is so intimate. It is very special and even more personal than all of the lines together.

Also the fact that Chanyeol and Baekhyun finish the song together. 

Chanyeol says ‘’Love you’’ while Baekhyun still sings. So it comes out like

Baekhyun: Shine on me

Chanyeol: Love you

They say these lines at the same time.

It is very important. And obvious.

Lastly

In my ‘’Heaven’’ analysis, I have also added about the song lines distribution.

Baekhyun sang the most of the song. (44.5%).

And I think it’s extremely cute because let’s look at ‘’With you’’ ‘s line distribution now.

Baekhyun sang, ATTENTION, 47.2% of the song!! 

~~~~~~

Well, let me finish this analysis here. Please remember that this is my opinion, I’m not forcing anyone to accept it. This is just the way I see and feel these lyrics. To me, it was obvious Chanyeol wrote this song for Baekhyun based on the way they both talk about it. It is fine, if your opinion differs. Thanks again! :)

[myfirelight64]

Young = We Young

It almost sounds like the same song 👀👀

“No more of what you don’t want”

“Do what you really want to”

Plus the names…interesting 🙊🙊

Chanbaek Lyric Analysis: Updated Version - Part 2

Part 1 | Part 2

4. Work

You Are: (March 5, 2016)

[PCY] “I spend all day working hard daily to make money again Why don’t I feel sick of it, I’m only enjoying it”

Let Me Love You: (February 20, 2017)

“Even when days are long and boring When I hear your voice Everything becomes okay”

Monday Blues: (April 10, 2018)

“Again Monday It’s still a while to the weekend Right when I was already getting tired You came to me like a holiday”

Sweet Dreams: (April 10, 2018)

“It was an especially slow day today But I got through a slump day at the thought of you I met you and it became a holiday”

Vroom Vroom: (April 10, 2018)

“Every day, at the end of the same day Because of the unchanging schedule I think I want a deviation No it’s that kind of day”

A point I brought up in the last post was that when Chanyeol says  “I spend all day working hard daily to make money again”, it is most likely about his current job, since he debuted when he was around 21, but he was around 17 when he joined SM. Back then, he probably would have only had time for part time jobs. So to me, the ‘working hard’ would be about being an idol. In that case, it’s about someone he’s dated during his career. Again, it’s possible it’s about a past or current girlfriend.

When it comes to EXO-CBX lyrics, its obviously possible that it’s either just random lyrics written by Baekhyun, Jongdae or Minseok, or someone else completely, you’ll notice that so far, it’s always the same songs. ‘Monday Blues’, ‘Sweet Dreams’, and ‘Vroom Vroom’. Also, both ‘Monday Blues’ and ‘Sweet Dreams’ have the same ‘holiday’ concept in this section.

“You came to me like a holiday”

“I met you and it became a holiday"

5. Sing For You

Everyone knows one of the angsty-est moments - Sing For You at the Exo’rdium Chicago (the gifs are just quick lq ones to show the moment. Watch the video to see it in better quality).

Chanyeol sings:

“Pretending I made one song, I’m about to tell Just listen, I’ll sing for you”

And then Baekhyun sings:

“I love you a lot but I don’t say the words, It’s awkward that pride doesn’t allow me”

while Chanyeol watches and Baekhyun not so subtly looks at him.

Something that occurred to me when I looked at the Sing For You lyrics. Chanyeol isn’t on the writing credits (but again, when is he ever), but the first lines caught my eye.

“Picking up my old guitar, The confession that I couldn’t make”

Specifically the guitar part. They’ve never mentioned guitars (at least not that I’ve seen) in their songs - even the sweet love songs. This has a very Chanyeol feel. Right after those two lines come Chanyeol’s and then Baekhyun’s.

Sing For You is not just your average confession song - it’s one that comes after a rough patch in the relationship.

[BBH] “The way you cry, the way you smile I wonder how much they mean to me The words that I regretted when I looked back”

It’s about missed opportunities to confess their feelings, feeling like the one who means everything to you has become a stranger, and mixing an apology with a confession of love. Which, released on December 15, 2015, is just a few months after Baekyeol finally ended, and was the during the time we all could see light at the end of the tunnel after all the drama.

6. Universe

I mentioned how there seemed to be a pattern in Heaven, like Baekhyun’s lyrics were responding to Chanyeol’s lyrics and vice versa. This first occurred to me after looking at the Universe lyrics, where, if you isolate the lyrics they sing, it sounds like they’re singing to each other rather than from the same point of view. As well as this, they’re the two in the Universe music video that I noticed almost never smile. Chanyeol does a little at the end, a sort of nostalgic smile, but Baekhyun doesn’t even smile once. Of course it’s a music video, so it’s probably just acting (but I also happen to think the concept has ships in it, including Chanbaek).

I’d also like to add that I extracted the lyrics of other pairs of members and it didn’t have the same effect. The lyrics just don’t work together.

Extracted lyrics (in order):

[BBH] “Unlike my determination, nothing’s getting better I always disappoint you And I regret it too”

[PCY] “We warmly held each other With happy laughter”

[PCY] “Laughter and tears, scars and healing”

[BBH] “Memories engraved in the seasons They come and go several times But I will still call out to you”

[PCY]* “These aren’t feelings that I can end In just one day, with just one try”

*Sung with Junmyeon

[PCY and BBH] “I feel it so much it hurts Wherever you are, I’ll go to you”

[BBH] “Because that’s love”

Plus, in the ‘Cafe Universe’ Episode.3, Baekhyun and Chanyeol’s phrase is:

[BBH] “Until I find you again” [PCY] “My small universe that contains my whole world”

For the other three episodes, the words don’t connect like Chanyeol and Baekhyun’s episode does

“When the wind gets cold The night that touched my breath”

“Our memories that engraved together this season Memories always bring tears back”

“I’ll search the universe Because that’s what love is, that’s love”

And that’s it for this update! Hopefully there’ll be plenty of content in this next album so I can do another one, but that’s all I’ve got for now! I’ve made a post about a performance back in 2014 since this one is getting very long and it would be too much. You can find that post here. Also check out @yeolspuppy‘s amazing Creep analysis (seriously, it’s great).

So I hope you guys enjoyed it! I’ve been taking a more in depth look at Knowing Bros, too, so that might come eventually soon. Feel free to ask me any questions!

[yeolspuppy]

Thank you for mentioning me! Good job!
