TWICE “SET ME FREE” Meaning
“SET ME FREE” captures TWICE’s transformative journey as they break free from the stifling pressures of external judgment and restrictive relationships. The music video emphasizes their steps toward personal growth and self-liberation, highlighting the contrast between their initial feelings of confinement and the empowering freedom they ultimately find. At first, the members are trapped within the confines of societal expectations and emotional limitations. However, through their own trust in themselves and in one another, they gradually release themselves from these burdens, moving freely without the constraints that once held them back.
The members break through metaphorical frames and physical boundaries, symbolizing their control over their own narrative. The concept of a “movie within a movie” and the explosive device pulling the viewer’s perspective into reality adds a fresh, bold layer to the video. Ultimately, the members’ transformation is marked by their bright, confident smiles, reflecting their inner peace and offering a cathartic release for both themselves and their audience.
