Black Mamba (aespa)

내 모든 action [My every action]
어린 너의 힘을 키워 [Makes your power grow]

Madison:...and she's saying the human members' actions make the avatars stronger.

Me: Yup.

넌 언젠가부터 SYNK out [From some time ago you SYNK out]

Me: SYNK is the app that connects the avatars to the human members. When she says "SYNK out", she means that she and her avatar have lost connection.

Anna of Cleves: Well that can't be good.

Peggy: I don't think it is.

노이즈같이 보여  [Looking like a noise]
더 이상 못 찾겠어 [I can't find it anymore]
널 유혹해 삼킨 건 [The temptation that swallows you]
Black Mamba

Ma Ma Ma Mamba
Woo oh-oh
Ma Ma Ma Mamba
Oh eh-o eh-o

Anne Boleyn: Okay, this chorus is a bop! I love it!

Sonny: I could get used to this beat!

Anna of Cleves: Yeah, it's pretty catchy!

Philip: Yesss! I can feel the bass booming!

넌 광야를 떠돌고 있어 [You're wandering this KWANGYA]

Me: Okay, "kwangya" is an actual Korean word meaning "wilderness", but here, the KWANGYA is a place that is located way beyond the FLAT.

나의 분신을 찾고 싶어 [I wanna find my other self]
(Aya ya ya ya ya ya)
Hey Ma Mamba

I hate Ma Ma Ma Mamba
Hate Ma Ma Ma Mamba

Usnavi: So I take it that the Black Mamba is a malevolent force?

Me: Yup. The Black Mamba is disrupting SYNC and preventing the aespa avatars from contacting their human counterparts.

Carla: No me diga! This is getting pretty interesting!

I'm ejected
선함 만으론 [Good is not enough...]
너의 거대함을 이기지 못해 [...to break your greatness]

J.D.: So now the focus is on the Black Mamba itself.

Me: Mmmhmm, now they are directly speaking to/addressing it.

I'm exhausted
너의 존잰 모든 [Your existence has grown]
탐욕들을 먹고 자라 났지 [Swallowing all of the greed]

Catherine of Aragon: Well it looks like the Black Mamba has wreaked quite a bit of havoc.

에스파는 나야  [I'm the aespa]
둘이 될 수 없어  [There can't be two]
Monochrome to colors 
이건 Evo, Evolution [This is Evo, Evolution]

Me: I read a person's interpretation of this part that said that they think this means that the Black Mamba wants to be an aespa.

Oh! 위험한 장난을 쳐 [Oh! I make a dangerous joke]
매혹적이지만 널 [You're charming but]
부정할 밖에 [I gotta deny]
모든 걸 삼켜버릴 [It will swallow everything]
Black Mamba

Catherine Parr: Does this mean that the Black Mamba is trying to capture the members?

Jane Seymour: If so, they must resist!

Heather D.: No duh!

Heather C.: Shut up, Heather!

Ma Ma Ma Mamba
Woo oh-oh
Ma Ma Ma Mamba
Oh eh-o eh-o

넌 광야를 떠돌고 있어 [You're wandering this KWANGYA]
(Aya ya ya ya ya ya)
네게 맞서 난 질 수 없어 [I can't lose against you]

Heather C.: Wow, she's determined!

Hamilton: Just like me!

(The SMFDR roll their eyes)

(Aya ya ya ya ya ya)
Hey Ma Mamba

거울 속의 나는 네가 아닐까? [Is the me in the mirror you?]
일그러져버린 환영인 걸까? [Is it just a distorted vision]

Sonny: Whoa, that's pretty deep!

Catherine Parr: Mmmhmm

J.D.: Kinda gets me into existential crisis mode.

다시 너와 연결될 수 있다면 [If I could connect with you again]
너를 만나고 싶어 이제 [I want to meet you now]
모든 걸 삼켜버릴  [It will swallow everything]
Black Mamba

Ma Ma Ma Mamba
Woo oh-oh
Ma Ma Ma Mamba
Oh eh-o eh-o

넌 광야를 떠돌고 있어  [You're wandering this KWANGYA]

Hey Ma Mamba

[The song ends]

Me: So how did you guys like it?

Eliza: I liked the aesthetics of the music video and the detail!

Daniela: Right! I really liked how much detail they put into the plot of it!

Lafayette: It was kinda like watching a movie! It even kept me in the edge of my seat.

Me: Well, the good thing is, we might have more of this story with the next music videos, aepa already has released a song after this called "Next Level".

Hamilton: Well then, I can't wait to see how this story ends up!

Anne Boleyn: The song itself was a total bop! I think I'm going to save it to my playlist!

Sonny: Me too! And I liked the choreography! And the girls...

Usnavi: Sonny!

Me: I'm glad you guys liked it! All right! That's all the time we have for today! Feel free to vote, request, and comment! See you guys next time!

Eliza: Have a great Fourth of July!

Everyone: Bye!
