…especially because it gives him the freedom to really explore his range as an artist, as evidenced by the interesting contrast between his lyrics and the overall tone of the video and choreography. While the choreography and the video seem bright and positive, the theme of the lyrics is actually one of loneliness and despair.

The way Taeyong's smiles and the bright, colourful vibe of the video directly contrasts with the lyrics, "I'm so lonely". It's like Taeyong is illustrating how someone can look happy on the outside, and often society dictates that people act this way, but inside they're lonely pic.twitter.com/agUiTdN8ju

This reflects how Taeyong has always been open about discussing difficult emotions and how to process them, often encouraging fans to be honest with themselves when faced with negative emotions. Taeyong’s lyrics are really honest about his feelings, showing how passionate he is about communicating openly and authentically with his fans.

I love these part of Taeyong's 'Lonely' : "I rest when it's time to rest, but I can't do that well
'Cause everytime I was on fire
Spending the night I'm on fire(?)
Then I sleep while I'm looking at the sun
When I realized, I became like that"
It express how passionate he is ㅠㅠ
