the verse: #BIGBANGisBACK #BIGBANG_StillLife 💛 pic.twitter.com/rDXnH230u5
not to be dramatic but its a masterpiece. the colors in the mv are bright but the vibe is kinda sad. its sad and beautiful. the structure isnt the usual kpop song structure but it works. not every song needs a chorus and bigbang just proved that.#BIGBANG_StillLife pic.twitter.com/RgVgMTtqCI

The symbolism with T.O.P ‘s part and the legend of the Rabbit on the moon. The parallel with the rabbit and how like the rabbit he also sacrificed a lot and now lives away from the prying eyes. #BIGBANG_StillLife #BIGBANGisBACK pic.twitter.com/bFk7WwX91t
