the whole album follows its title "Right Place, Wrong Person", so even the music sounds confusing and out of place and time, it conveys the feeling of being lost, confused, and wrong. from track to track we follow RM through a labyrinth, where he tries to find a place where he would feel like the right person Namjoon said, "when we find stability, we suddenly want to go in search of something new, and when we go in search of something new, we dream of stability". There is no way out of the labyrinths, because it's what life is. Somewhere you feel like the right person in the wrong place, somewhere like the wrong person in the right place. Maybe somehow you will find something that will make you feel like the right person in the right place, but it is not forever, because everything in life changes. Life is a cycle of searching for comfort zones this is conveyed in his music videos for the album. Lost literally shows us the labyrinth inside our head, where all our personalities live; Come Back to Me is also a labyrinth of rooms, where our relationships with people and the world are revealed. Understanding yourself, who you are, what you want, what you like allows to wander in labyrinths with some kind of surety and direction. You need to know the labyrinth in your head (Lost) well in order to navigate the labyrinths of the world (Come Back to Me) Domodachi seems to unite everything together. This is the same cycle of "stability-being lost-stability-being lost". The main character on his own free will goes through a labyrinth of fears, nightmares and obstacles. With someone else's help he gets out, but returns again. Each such cycle in a person's life leaves a mark on who they are. We go through life's trials and, having coped with everything, return to the place that was "right" for us, but because you are already a different person, it no longer seems that way. And we go on a quest of searching again The video conveys anxiety, claustrophobia, overload of all receptors, showing how tense, frightening, difficult life can be. The hero of the video faces several metaphorical obstacles 1) Before entering the labyrinth, he loses a friend, who is stopped by an adult, forbidding him to go towards adventures 2) In the labyrinth, he meets guys who try to lead him astray and take him in the other direction, he runs away from them. The lyrics of the track are more related to this. domodachi means friend in Japanese (yes, the track is in THREE languages: English, Korean and Japanese). The song discusses those people in our social circle who poison our lives, demand, lie, chase their own benefits in relationships, chase your status. Motherfuckers growl and open their mouths, every day showdowns because of the next bullshit, like leeches trying to drink blood, want me to dance to their tune, want to be my homies and be seen with me in the same frame, etc. The song does not say who exactly are those people, but I think there are many such individuals for each of us, more so BTS 3) Then the hero runs into a traffic jam of cars and adults who surround him and start pointing him in different directions, loudly saying something. Perhaps this is about how adults always try to direct teenagers to where they think it is "better", without asking what the teenager wants from this life. Another boy, a true friend, pulls him by the hand from the crowd of screaming adults and then helps the hero get to the exit, showing the way and leading him along 4) They get to a long line of people who are waiting for their turn to board the train to the final destination of this labyrinth - they want to catch their ticket to life, so to speak. The hero manages to get on the train, but there is a terrible crowd and people are impolite, almost walk on each other’s heads, push - well, a competitive environment in its primitive form. It is very difficult to stay on your feet; it is very difficult not to get lost in the crowd and be overlooked. And again, the hero is the only child among the adults, but this also does not bother anyone around. Could be refraining to BTS and a lot of other idols and artists getting into this kind of job and a very very young age and having to deal with cut throat environments 5) The train suddenly stops, as the rails are broken by a huge monster in a dark tunnel. A monster in a labyrinth is a fairly familiar concept to everyone, remember the Minotaur - usually, the monster needs to be killed to succeed. You can spend a long time thinking about who this monster is. Maybe it's fears and doubts, the shadow that BTS discussed in their Map of The Soul album series, based on Jung's theories about human psychology, because for Jung, the labyrinth is the subconscious, where all our fears and insecurities, complexes, and bad qualities hide. Or maybe it's RM himself - rap monster, his past? In Nuts, for example, he says this line: "The monster hasn’t been me." Maybe it's all the negativity that has accumulated in him over the years under the spotlight, because he mentioned that he wrote this album precisely to "kill" this sediment. In general, choose for yourself In the video, however, the hero does not kill the monster, but only sees it, and then his friend drags him to a safe place, out of the labyrinth. Then the cycle begins again

Wow, what a great breakdown. Thank you for taking the time to post this. RM's songs are for the most part quite meaningful and philisophical, and now he's going in the same direction with his MVs. It's a holistic experience.
