DPR LIVE - Yellow Cab (OFFICIAL M/V)

⠀

❝ things have been very different for me ever since i met candy. i’ve never met anyone quite like her before. i was just going about my business like any other saturday afternoon.

without a care in the world. ❞

chapter.O1

❝ ANY OTHER SATURDAY

AFTERNOON . . .

the story of a yellow cab-⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
[C]<a href='/c/k-pop/tag/spellbind/'>#spellbind</a>

sometimes the world lacks color. feels grey and cold. like the first day of autumn when flower petals touch the ground – with no life to color them with brightness – when the rain drops feel colder than before. but perhaps there was another world. one much livelier and more vibrant. a world dipped in warm orange and pink tones and painted with greens. the colors so powerful that they would blind anyone from their true problems and show them what they were always looking for. one would even say – a perfect world. considering perfection has always been a concept people long for, a perfect world like this was surprisingly easy to acquire. only a pair of glasses was needed to pull down a curtain of colourful lies over what was already in front of us.

⠀

he liked to escape to that world. things felt a little closer to his reach there. every saturday he would wake up in the forest, his body hugged by grass and soft daisies getting lost in his hair. it started like any other saturday afternoon but this one decided to take a different path the moment he woke up there. the moment he saw her standing in the forest. her vibrant colors contrasting the nature around her. like a splash of wrong color on a green canvas. she was calm, unlike him. standing there with a little house plant in her arms – hugging it tightly as if she was afraid to lose it. it was an important plant after all. something special she was keeping for him. waiting for the right moment to it into his care.

⠀

chapter.O2

❝ BUT WHO IS CANDY . . .

unlike the meaning of the word, candy wasn’t sweet. she shared colours with the food she took her name from. she stood out anywhere with her bright pink hair, strong pink lipstick and a coat to match. despite such a bright and cute look she always felt sort of distant – even when she would be close. with her plastic gloves that kept her apart from the world and the bangs that never let anyone see what’s behind. no one could ever look her in the eyes and like that no one could really get to know her. it was hard to look past that mask and truly look into her soul. what was on the surface was what was allowed to be perceived. but perhaps there was never much to get to know and understand in the first place.

⠀

candy wasn’t a person. candy was something all of us have. she is our desires. our wishes and goals. she can come in many different shapes and sizes and this was his. calm during their little picnics. emotionless most of the time. there were only rare occasions on which she would mirror his smile. when she would allow him closer with his hard work and dedication. but never completely. no matter how many times he would try and push his flowery bike up the hill, she would always be there – to stand on his path and make it difficult. a pink lady that always stood a step away; always hard for him to reach.

⠀

chapter.O3

❝ WHAT'S WITH YOUR KISSES? . . .

candy was special. with her anger the lights would flicker. allowing him to get closer, he would end up hurt. a single kiss, still keeping them away with a simple lollipop, yet enough for a wound to be open. “what’s with your kisses?” he would ask. why is it that something soft and sweet ended up hurting? and why is it that he still wanted more? afraid that losing her presence, he would lose something more as well. the warm colors would disappear from his world. only fire would remain. as he stayed hidden beneath. and forgotten.

sometimes our wishes become too much. the higher the mountain we wish to climb, more accidents occur as well. candy was a mountain too high. a desire that would do more harm than good. she would hurt him before giving him happiness.

⠀

chapter.O4

❝ WHEN THE COLORS FADED . . .

if he were to run away from candy the colors would fade. a darkish blue would fall down and color the streets. leaving a feeling of coldness. a color to match the storm that was happening inside his heart as the decision to leave her was a tough one to make. he would say goodbye to the fake life he created there and start a new one. with a different type of candy – one that would hurt less. change is hard. his decision would feel heavy. like a truck that would appear out of nowhere and leave only his hollow shell behind. a shell that was a reminder for candy that he is truly gone. that leaving here there to be alive, he still existed somewhere else. and staying alone like that sadness would consume her. tears would dirty her face. but it lasted only for a moment. before peacefulness replaced it and only regret remained.

regret that she never had the chance

to give him the plant.

⠀

the plant was a goodbye gift. giving it to him, they both knew it was the end. he has reached the point he wanted. fulfilling the wish that candy represented. but that position also put him somewhere he didn’t expect. in a world filled with darkness. the air cold and dark. the weak rain crying on his skin. the atmosphere feeling empty as nothingness got wrapped around him. but if he kept the plant to himself, would it matter?

⠀

well… it took me way too long to finish this blog and now that it’s done i’m not sure what to think of it. i feel like it ended up as a weird mixture of some kind of interpretation of the "yellow cab" music video as well as me just wandering away and making a random story of my own based on the shots that appear in the video. does it all make sense? probably not. nevertheless, i’m kinda happy with the final product and i hope it wasn’t too random to read either. if you managed to get this far through the blog i seriously do recommend to give a listen and watch to “yellow cab” as well as to rest of his album.

thank you for reading and

bye

This was amazing, really :")

It wasn't until I read this that I actually put meaning into what the song meant. Of course that was stupid of me seeing that no one in DPR takes music lightly. So, thank you :D

It makes perfect sense!ever since seeing the mv for the first time, I was always so fascinated by it . After reading this I feel like you filled out some blanks and gave answers to some questions this mv left me with, so biggest thank you for that ! Candy is a character I have come to obsessed with and I feel very down that this ~3 minuteish mv is the only dose/peek I will ever get of her, so reading this blog gave new aspects and info of her, which is so enjoyable 🥰 keep the good going!
