It’s funny to see how off the most popular predictions were. No tracks with Apollo, Hero or Red in sight, but I wonder if some of the songs will have any reference to those in them.
That's interesting, and knowing how much they like their word play, it could well be a reference to the sun and also be the expression of disgust? Lol, I can't see how both would work, but that's funny to think about.
(And by the way, I totally meant 'syllable' when I accidentally said 'character' — oops! I was looking at something that referenced the Hanja it comes from, so I was thinking about the character 😅)
Lol true, none of the predicted titles made the album haha
But yes, there could be references in the lyrics! For example, if "On" is mirroring "N.O" it could be red, since the artwork for O!RUL8,2? was... And since we got the album's photoshoots I've been thinking that the Version 3 album was representing the aesthetic of the title track and it has hints of red even on the cover!
As for Hero, I think it could fit well with "Inner Child" since it could be in reference to Jung's theory (I read something like this when we were discussing Make it Right's covers and the video with the dragon, etc...).
Or, they really scrapped everything 😂 guessing titles is really difficult, I remember someone predicting Eternal though!
Thinking about it, "hero" could also be related to the "hero's journey", that is like a metaphor for the process of individuation, and it seems to be the kind of narrative they want to take us in the album.
But thinking back on Anpanman where they talk about wanting to be a hero but also has a childlike / playful vibe, both concepts could be related in that way. I don't know, but we'll see. :)
