Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
어떤 것은 검은색
어떤 것은 하얀색
색안경을 끼고 보면 어떡해
넌 착한 사람이고
걘 나쁜 사람이고
재미없는 너의 세상은 흑백
So many shades of gray
Oh 어떻게 아직도 모를 수 있어
Oh good easily fades away
함부로 나를 좋아하지 마
Because I'm a villain
왜 아닐 거라 생각해
아주 못돼먹은 작은 악마 같은 나인걸 몰라
You're a villain
왜 아닐 거라 생각해
미처 몰랐던 악마가 네 안에 숨 쉬고 있어
I'm killing someone maybe
You're killing someone maybe
I'm killing you maybe
You're killing me maybe
We all pretend to be the heroes on the good side
But what if we're the villains on the other
Am I good, am I bad, ay
Are you good, are you bad, ay
내가 제일 사랑하는 누군가는
또 다른 누군가에게는 개 say
Are we good, are we bad, ay
What is good, what is bad, ay
네가 제일 미워하는 누군가는
사랑받는 누군가의 자식 say
So many shades of gray
Oh 어떻게 아직도 모를 수 있어
Oh good easily fades away
함부로 나를 좋아하지 마
Because, one, two
I'm a villain
왜 아닐 거라 생각해
아주 못돼먹은 작은 악마 같은 나인걸 몰라
You're a villain
왜 아닐 거라 생각해
미처 몰랐던 악마가 네 안에 숨 쉬고 있어
All villains
왜 아닐 거라 생각해
아주 못돼먹은 작은 악마들이 우린 걸 몰라
We're all villains
왜 아닐 거라 생각해
미처 몰랐던 악마 같은 우리를 좀 봐
I'm killing someone maybe
You're killing someone maybe
I'm killing you maybe
You're killing me maybe
We all pretend to be the heroes on the good side
But what if we're the villains on the other
We all pretend to be the heroes on the good side
But what if we're the villains on the other
We all pretend to be the heroes on the good side
In Stella Jang's song "Villain," the artist explores the idea of blurred lines between good and evil. The lyrics suggest that people often try to categorize themselves as being on the good side, but in reality, there are shades of gray and everyone has the capacity for both good and bad. The verse "어떤 것은 검은색 어떤 것은 하얀색 색안경을 끼고 보면 어떡해 (Some things are black, some things are white, what do you do when you put on colored glasses?)" emphasizes this idea that people view the world through their own lens and struggle to see things from a different perspective.
Jang also explores the idea that people may not be aware of their own capacity for evil. The chorus repeats "I'm a villain, you're a villain, we're all villains" suggesting that everyone has the potential for evil within them even if they don't realize it. The lyrics "내가 제일 사랑하는 누군가는 또 다른 누군가에게는 개 say (Someone I love so much might be a dog to someone else)" emphasizes that people's perception of good and bad is subjective and further blurs the lines between the two.
Overall, "Villain" is a thought-provoking song that challenges listeners to reconsider their understanding of good and evil and the capacity for both within themselves and those around them.

@@shunooze91 if nothing is good, and nothing is bad,
"So there is no right work and no wrong work,
And so no soldier should be given a medal,
And no terrorist should be punished,
Because they did not do anything wrong or right,...
No donor should be thanked,
and no killer should be jailed,
Yup, the most ideal world.
@Rasmusvh1974
I agree with parts of your analyzed , but I don't think it's about people being "fake" and I don't think "People are very fake and can surprise you very well so Stella is really trying to tell you to be cautious of even herself when she says to think about liking her" is the point she is trying to make.
We all have different sides, often see the world in very different ways and what one person see as "fake" can be "speaking the truth" to somebody else.
The point to me is that it is impotent to remember that you don't know everything and sometimes what I see as "People being very fake", can be about me not knowing that person or simple not understanding/agreeing with their point of view.
The question of when somebody is "being fake" is like most thing in life very subjective and the way we see/understand things can even change over time, depended of your own mood, the person saying it and more.
Anyway the message to me is more positive and more about the need to remember that most of the people you don't like/disagree with are people too, that often also have good quality's that you just don't see and your are properly "The Villain" to them, so try to be respectful even to people you don't like.
"No one is perfect, we all have flaws. But if you are lucky enough to find someone who loves you the same at your worst. recognize it and appreciate it".
Ps. I make edit's to correct spelling mistakes :-)
@OuroborosSmither
Just wanted to thank you for this song, cos it's been an absolute lifeline the last couple of days (not that i think Stella is likely to see this comment). I've listened to this song so many times, and it gives me strength in a strange way.
I broke up with this guy, and we'd only been dating for a few months, but he did not take it well. Went back to drinking, talked about how everything was miserable and pointless, making threats he was afraid he'd do something to himself. Meanwhile i was just trying to move on, and feeling guilty for what i "did to him". He really made me feel like the sorry state he was in was all my fault.
Then yesterday, after a month of this, my friend finally convinced me that his drunken rants about how i broke his poor baby heart weren't something i needed to put up with any more, so i finally blocked him. I felt like such a villain, but also amazing cos i was finally done with his shit.
Then i stumbled across this song, and it really resonated with something in me, and helped me remember that all of these questions about if this makes me a bad person are daft. What matters is how much better i feel, and he has his own responsibility in this mess, he's a grown-ass adult and needs to act like one.
Anyway, he's apparently since made some veiled comments that he hates me and wants to kill me. Pretty villainous, right? Shit's crazy, and my conscience is definitely cleared now. Maybe i still am a bit of a villain for hurting him, but i could not care less at this point, and your song played a part in that, so thank you.

[Sorry for the rant, and if I sound pretentious, I just really like this video :D]
I really like the ending, with the tainted or dangerous foods. It reinforces the point of the song [in my opinion]; how depending on your angle [your perspective], things can appear as good or evil. How one person's perception of something may not be universal, and your first glance may not be the truth.
I also really liked the black and white outfits, which seem to reinforce my guess that the song is partially about first glances. She wears white in the beginning while reading a cookbook, something we see as a harmless and almost meaningless act.
"Think twice before you like me," she says, still dressed in white.
Then in the end her intentions become clear, to make poisonous foods that look innocent. And she is still wearing white as she does it.
And during the parts while she sings about what a wicked devil she is, she wears black, and yet she hasn't actively done anything evil, other than cheer for someone's demise on TV.
And a halo of white sometimes surrounds her while she wears white.
We shouldn't use first glances to dictate the truth of what's around us.
And just like how she is more than black or white, we could be too, to different people. The perception of the people around us as well as ourselves isn't a one size fits all. An example from the song: "The person that you hate the most could be somebody's beloved child".
Just like how people in the comments think differently of the person in the video [some are considering the song and thinking about it, some are patting themselves on the back for being just so clever because they relate or something, and some are just simping for her] people could think differently of us, too. For example, what if the beloved child line was referring to you? Someone could hate you, REALLY hate you, but your mother sees you different, as just her beloved child.
You may not notice what you have done for them to hate you, and maybe you see yourself in a positive light, but that doesn't change the fact that you are villain in their eyes. People see different things differently.

We all pretend to be the heroes on the good side
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh
[Verse 1]
Some things are black
Some things are white
You shouldn't look through colored lenses
You're the good guy
He's the bad guy
Your boring world is in black and white
[Pre-Chorus]
So many shades of gray
Oh, how can you still not know?
Oh, good easily fades away
Think twice before you like me
[Chorus]
Because
I'm a villain
What makes you think otherwise?
You don't know
What a wicked little devil I am
You're a villain
What makes you think otherwise?
The villain you failed to notice
Breathes within you
[Post-Chorus]
I'm killing someone maybe
You're killing someone maybe
I'm killing you maybe
You're killing me maybe
[Interlude]
We all pretend to be the heroes on the good side
But what if we're the villains on the other?
[Verse 2]
Am I good? Am I bad, ay?
Are you good? Are you bad, ay?
The person I love the most
Could be a dog to somebody else, say
Are we good? Are we bad, ay?
What is good? What is bad, ay?
The person you hate the most
Is somebody's beloved child, say
[Pre-Chorus]
So many shades of gray
Oh, how can you still not know?
Oh, good easily fades away
Think twice before you like me

What a wicked little devil I am
You're a villain

The villain you failed to notice
Breathes within you
All villains
What makes you think otherwise?
You don't know
What wicked little devils we are
We're all villains
What makes you think otherwise?
Look at us, the devils we failed to notice

True fact! (Also don’t listen to the commenters, you don’t have to do it if you don’t want to! It’s your choice :) )

Lmao wtf is wrong with the both of you lmfao
They probably don’t even do dream smp content, look at their channel.
@BettyNoireMaSTeRProCraStInaToR
Athena Animates lmao nice, feel free to do whatever you think is fun
Interacting with the DT smp has left me a bit annoyed seeing fans everywhere and compare characters to literal headcanon designs lmao, and I genuinely don’t like it when fellow artists are treated like they only make content for people, kinda disrespectful yk? :]
