![]() ![]() The two story films briefly elaborate on the process of how the necklace seen in the MV preserves humans’ and the monarch’s souls. Or rather, just one human - a child that the monarchs declare to protect. But, a war against the six monarchs and servants have ensued in debate on whether to preserve or sacrifice humans. The monarchs have kept themselves apart from humans despite their newly cursed thirst for blood, drinking only from evil. Fittingly, the members take up the role of monarchs who, by this point, have been sacrificed by humans to satiate Helios’ jealousy of their worship. Rather, the MV relies more on dark fantasy and mythology. Based on the two story films released prior, the MV strays from elaborating on love and heartbreak like the song. The title can reference something different for the plot, considering it’s a continuation of what evolved in their “Come Back Home” music video. The song’s title, then, directly pinpoints the core dilemma: “to be or not to be” meaning “to live or to die,” also meaning “to let her go, or to die in her memory.” The lyrics expand on the metaphor of a past lover symbolizing pain and death, while letting her go - another tough choice - will ultimately bring life. While the play can be noted for its take on the idea of love, the group has more so utilized its main message on life and death. We have to look no further than the past! Oneus switched things up this time around by heavily referring to a timeless literary classic, Hamlet. With every comeback boosting the group’s overall standard, fans may have been curious as to how they’d maintain their theme. Most concepts directly involve the role of monarchs amidst a royal setting (among both visual and storyline MV’s). While not always explicitly stated or implied, visual hints have pushed forward a kind of mood for the group maintained with every MV. While every release has touched on a different facet of love: from celebration to angst to nostalgia, Oneus has maintained the appearance and storyline of beautiful boys searching for their past fulfillment within nature, from flowers to the sun. Beyond the beautiful production sets - Italy, New Zealand, etc - it’s worth noting that everything from silky attire to elegant concepts have the boys reflect a regal role. Their releases consistently touch on a subtly classic, even regal theme. From their debut with “Valkyrie” to following releases - “Twilight,” “Lit,” and “A Song Written Easily” - Oneus never fails to impress with their polished performances, aesthetic MV productions, and spellbinding concepts. ![]() Regarding Oneus, I’ve come to realize how often we’re following up with this rising group - indeed, consistent reviews have shed positive light on their signature sound that sharpens with every comeback. ![]()
