Curiosity gets the better of me, so I kind of made a compilation of lyrics from Plave songs for each members. I have to say, this is really mindblown. This is just my own interpretation and you’re free to disagree, but here’s my take.
- Plave in general: if you look closely from their songs’ lyrics, you’ll know that (almost) basically the time loop theory is confirmed. And yes, the activation is not incidental, but intentional. This is shown by the lyrics where it most of it always said “seasons repeating”, “dream of eternity”, “endless darkness”, “repeating highlight” and many more.
There’s a possibility, this is not their first round. I think they’re closer in taking a theory of “regression” or go back in time, instead of alternate universes. My guess is, perhaps the plave we see now is in their 6th or maybe borderline 7th rounds. The clue lies in the lyrics where it said “the sixth summer”, and “there’s no seventh”. This might also indicate that this is their last round. No more chances.
Each of their previous rounds end in failures/defeat, it drives the members crazy. I cannot say for sure what the cause of their failures are, but there’s a chance at the end of one round—I don’t know which round it is, there were only two members remaining. My guess is, there might be internal conflicts within the members in the lore that caused them to lose their coordination and resulted in another defeat.
I was thinking it might be bamby and hamin, but it also could be noah and hamin. I have bamby in mind as a candidate for the last two members because it seems like besides hamin, he’s the only one who remembers “almost” everything, not even yejun does. At some point, bamby might have survived longer than yejun and eunho did. As for noah, there are lines that said “…among the many things we talked about last night” and “oh, we promised in that enchanting sweet night”. However, I’m not too sure about this one either, since noah is an unreliable narrator here due to his memories-lost.
There is also a chance that the order of the albums ≠ the order of the timeline. I think of this possibility when I read all the compiled lyrics from each songs for each members (minus what-if since I can’t really find a reliable english translation for it). Although some of the songs may not look like it has some relevance to the lore, when I look at it again, there’s a hint of it. For example, “Today, let’s rock all night. Come in our pixel world”. It may look irrelevant, but rock here can represents defiant, rebellion, and endurance, and they’re asking for PLLI to come to their “pixel world” to save them.
I’m not entirely sure about what “love” in here means, but my guess for it is that previously, they don’t meet us. Because in noah’s lyrics, he said “I ain’t done love before, but she said, I think that this time we could be the true love” which gets supported by eunho’s lyrics, “you ain’t done love before in this world before?” And “1,2,3,4,5,6–I can’t count them all. The reasons I love you; as I was counting the reasons, I drifted off to sleep”. However, this will partly “debunk” the theory where it is said that plave’s existence came from PLLI’s love. Also, I think love in here represents not only the reason of their existence, but also the source of their power. The more love they receive = the more powerful they are.
And have I mentioned that they might actually have spoiled Caligo’s Pt. 2 color? One of the lyrics said “before we knew sunset is falling there”, sunset colors = orange, red, and yellow. And bongsunga might give a hint too, since the color most used from what I see in google is reddish orange… (cont.)
