First i have to give u a heads up, itโs gonna be very very long. It is an 8 pages essay, just like Chan asked. Iโm a simple girl. Whatever Chan asks, Iโll do.
Before you think you have no patience to read this, if youโre a Stay, ok i have nothing to say to you because: are you sure?
If youโre not a Stay but a young boy/girl struggling with this life, please watch the video and read this, because I promise you, itโs worth your time.
Okay here we go.
Stray Kidsโ latest song Social Path is my new most favorite song of all time. I feel related to Chan and the lyrics on a personal level.
First, the song's title itself: "Social Path" is another way of saying for "Sociopath", which means "People who consistently disregard rules and social norms" and often "behave impulsively".
Obviously, in this song they don't mean it in a bad way, but in a way that they don't always follow social standards, which even though to some people it's the best way of living, this does not apply to everyone.
This does not apply to me as well, as sometimes I see myself not fitting in, and Iโm not sorry. Iโve lived life the way I want, not following social standards. And people sometimes give me a hard time about it. Yet I keep going, because only I, know what is good for me, what I want to do and what kind of person I want to be.
That is why, word by word, the song speaks my heart.
Of course there have been times Iโve had doubts about the way I live my life. I sometimes wonder why I canโt be like others, live like others. But now, listening to this song, I feel like Iโve been living my life right. I have not โmade itโ yet, but I feel more inspired than ever to move towards my future.
(I will only write about lines that I think have a deeper/many layers of meaning or lines that I think need to be talked about โ so not all lines are mentioned here)

Why the path to his dream, or Stray Kidsโ dream is called a โSocial Pathโ when social standards is not something they live by?
It can be a way of saying, that to reach their dreams, they must live their lives under the โjudging eyesโ of society, or more specifically a huge part of society where people follow social norms and judge other base on social standards which is not right at all.
That to reach their dreams, they must overcome the uncertainty, the self-doubt and the temptation to โlive like everyone elseโ.
That to reach their dreams, they must create their own โpathโ through โsocialโ (society) where everyone else live the same way, follow the same standards. Not blend in them, but stand out, live differently, live passionately, live life how they want to.
Letโs look back at the MV where it started by them being surrounded by people, all has the same face (mask) on โ implying that everyone else is the same and only they are different. These faces have exclamation mark, question mark, etc. on them โ like all the toxic , judgmental words from society towards them just because they live their lives differently.
They are at first scared and hurt by it (the scenes on the bed with their personal shots). Run away from it (Seungmin). Then it changed by showing IN standing still while everyone else (society) running towards his opposite direction. Then Felix look directly to the camera like heโs no longer scared and is certain with his decision. Seungmin stopped running away. Hyunjin is no more scared and fiercely pushing through. And Lee Know make way, or rather make a โSocial Pathโ through the crowds (again is society), shows that they are now confident to live life the way they want against all odds.
Letโs get to the meaning behind the lyrics.

Chan gave up his teenager days to work hard for his future. Gave up being with his family in Australia. Gave up his everything to chase after his dream. He even gave up being a kid to be an adult too soon (Iโm tearing up a little, just because I cried my eyes out many times before).

He was feeling helpless of his situation (being a trainee for 7 years long) and uncertain of his present, or he was even self-doubting his decision during the hard times. Thatโs why he want to be stronger in order to overcome all that to go forward till the very end.

He was feeling lost and uncertain. These feeling are expressed through long and lonely nights, just like in the MV it shows Changbin not sleeping well and all alone with all his nightmares and dark thoughts.
๐ช๐ต๐ฒ๐ป ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐๐ป ๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ฒ๐, ๐๐ผ๐บ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ ๐๐ถ๐น๐น ๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ
๐ ๐๐ผ๐ป'๐ ๐บ๐ถ๐๐ ๐ถ๐ (๐ก๐ผ๐ ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ป๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ)
Even though it's lonely and uncertain, even heโs facing his evil thoughts throughout the nights, the sun will rise and tomorrow will come.
"I won't miss it" this literally means he will not miss the sunrise and tomorrow, also on a deeper level, it means he will not "miss" (out on) this life. Because โwhen the sun rises, tomorrow will comeโ, life will go on. Why he must emphasize he will not miss it if itโs not because he had the intention to โmiss itโ? Yes, it is as dark as you are probably thinking right now, and he once said it on Chanโs room too:
โ๐๐ช๐ต๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ต ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฎ ๐ ๐ฎ๐ช๐จ๐ฉ๐ต ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ต ๐ฆ๐ท๐ฆ๐ฏ ๐ฃ๐ฆ ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฆ

The second sentence kinda makes it clear for you if the first sentence is not clear enough.
I still thank God to this day that heโs still here (even Iโm not religious). Iโm a Baby Stay and I only knew about this days ago, and Iโve just watched that Chanโs room episode only couple of days ago but I couldโve sworn Iโve been thanking God every-single-day for giving Chan the strength he needed to fight his dark thoughts, to endure and to wait till each of the members came.

The "youth" that everyone says he gave up on. What could it be? Is it more than just "youth" itself?
It could be the "standard way of living" that everyone else are talking about: study hard, get in to big colleges, get a nice degree, graduate, get a good corporate job, be a lawyer or a doctor they say. Giving up youth hear could mean give up that "social standard", give up that "life" that everyone saying you should live.
Iโve endured many temptations
The temptation to live life like everyone else, be like everyone else, to give up what he really wants - being an artist, make music and pursuit his passion and dream. It's really hard to be an artist and a successful one, we all know how competitive it gets and how harsh reality could be. He must've been tempted to give that up and live a normal life before, but he endured and overcame it.

If you think he's weak, you're wrong. Because you know what, "Gold Can Get Harder, Not Softer, When Heated To High Temperatures". It means going through hardships (the furnace) only makes him stronger, not weaker.
"Increase the hardness, make it solid"
The more hardships heโs going through, the stronger he becomes.

The stronger he becomes, the more strength he has to head towards his goals, his dream, his future, to the moment where he will feel "I made it", the moment that you won't have it for the second time (of course it's not literal meaning, it means moment that is so special that you feel you may not have it another time in life).
Side note: According to Stray Kids some time ago, they havenโt felt this yet but I believe they will feel it soon. Theyโre getting bigger every day and Iโm madly proud.

This path is a lonely path because not everyone understands you and why youโre following it. Why you must choose the hard way to live not knowing what the future may hold. Reality could be really harsh on these young boys. They played a big game, either go big or go home. But โgo homeโ can be much more difficult for idols compared to other careers, you know how Kpop industry is.
โEveryone keeps turning me downโ
Who is โeveryoneโ? I donโt dare to assume, but my guess everyone who can be around him at that time could be the company? They did not let him debut so yes that is a turn down, a rejection for the hard work and effort that heโs been putting in during his 7-year-long trainee. Iโm sure, they had their reasons, so Iโm not blaming here, I actually want to thank them for doing so. Because if he had debut earlier, he would not have met Stray Kids who basically saved him, he would not be THE leader that we all love. Who knows, he couldโve been the maknae of another group, and who knows, he could have not been โsavedโ โ because you know, DEBUT was not what SAVED him, THE KIDS did. .. It brings me pain to even begin to think of โwhat ifโฆโ

From a young boy living in the warm surroundings of his family and friends, is all heโs ever known โ to being all alone in a country that heโs mostly unfamiliar with, with no familiar faces. And being an idol (even trainee) he has to do a lot of new things, be at countless new places and meet a lot of new people, which mustโve been overwhelming. And not all new faces are friendly. We all know this thing called โsocietyโ and what it could do. People judge, people hate, people make you feel less of yourself. People can be that bad. Chan mustโve had experienced all that coldness from society, where he had to be an adult too young too soon.
I want to give him the warmest hug in this world, or even this univer, so bad! Because I, personally, know how that feels.

Once again the feeling of being lost, the feeling of being different, being alone hits him hard. He feels like heโs the โalienโ, heโs the only one that is different that is in a bad way to him. It almost felt like everyone wants him to give up, because, gosh, 7 years is such a long time. People come, people debut or get cut, the thing is everyoneโs moving forward with something but not him.
He even mentioned once in Maniac tour (itโs that time when he said โIโm gonna protect everyoneโ) โ staff once said to him that they feel so sad and sorry when they look at him. Not all people want him to give up because they donโt want good things for him, sometimes itโs because they care about him, but not in the way thatโs actually good for him, not in the way that he wants.
They're making me laugh it's so loud
Waking the demon that's hiding inside
โThe demon thatโs hiding insideโ means his true, strong and beautiful self that has been silenced by others, by society. Now that โdemonโ will not hide anymore and will come out strong โ just like he will not hesitate, self doubt, or worry about being different anymore, but will move forward with his decision and his dream โ at full speed.

I donโt think thereโs any hidden meaning here. Just these lines confirmed what I mentioned above. No matter what others say, heโs ready to do whatever he wants because we only get to live one life.
The feeling he has at this moment is hard to explain, but if I have to choose one word, Iโd say โ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป๐๐โ. Heโs certain about the decision he made, heโs certain about the path heโs taking, he knows heโs meant to follow his dream. Whatโs better than this feeling? Itโs something thatโs very hard to beat.

His passion towards his dream is so strong it burns all the way from the past till this moment. What is this ashes? What did his passion โburnโ?
Literal speaking, of course when something burns there will be ashes haha. But this is Chanโs lyrics and I guess thereโs always a deeper meaning.
โAshesโ here could be words that people say wanting him to give up or saying he should not do what heโs doing. It could be his โhesitationโ, his โdark thoughtsโ, the โtemptationโ that he had. All the obstacles along the way was burnt down by his passion, because it is so strong it beats everything else.

Thereโs a saying that goes: โThe hardest battle you'll ever fight, is against yourselfโ
Same for Chan, the biggest, hardest fight was not with others, but with himself. His self-doubt, the temptation, the uncertainty, the evil thoughts. All of that built up to make the journey to his dream much harder than it already is.
Because, you know what, when you trust yourself, have confidence in you, when youโre certain that youโre doing the right thing, when you know in your heart that this path youโre following is the right path, then, just then. No one else and nothing else can shake you anymore.

Wow I wonder how Chan knows that precisely that 8 pages is what Iโm gonna need to complete this essay?
I donโt know, I probably will have more to say later on, and I might make changes depends on what else pops up on my mind, but for now I canโt wait to share with you guys.
As a very very young Baby Stay, this is the first time ever I got to experience Stray Kids releasing a new song, and Iโm super happy because guys, I canโt describe how much I love this song (maybe I just did by writing an 8-page long about it :)). So if you guys enjoy my writing (of course after you had the patience to finish reading it), then I will write more next time. Also, it would mean the world to me if you like and share it, hopefully Chan can see and maybe talk about it? Then my life would be complete.
Thank you Stay, thank you Baby Stay. *๐๐ถ๐ด ๐ต๐๐ด*
