I really like the chorus of Django, and then the vocals from 2:48 on to the end of the song were just catnip for me. And yeah, there's a nice rhythm to this song =) Yeah, the song does seem to be thematically the fictional Django character. Storyline, I feel like this might by their high after the successful mission in the Bouncy mv. Like that feeling of "Wow, we did it, we might actually win this thing" while also being aware that this was just one small part of a much larger war that will likely kill them so for the sake of the goal, as a single expendable part of the overall movement, you can't think about your personal tomorrow. And just like Sector 1 and Cyberpunk in The World Ep 1: Movement, I think This World and Dune would be aspects of their preparation leading up to the operation in Bouncy.

I like how you're interpreting the album as a timeline. It's making me think that I have to go back and listen to it all in order with the lyrics again.

I knew of the name/character of Django from the Tarantino movie... But when they hinted the song, I had looked up the name... and found Django is of Romani origin and means “I awake"... which is totally fitting with their theme and how they have asked us to open our eyes and trying to get people in Strickland out of the controlled link. If we know our guys, I wonder if they are using both forms of Django in the song.

They must have intended the "I awake" translation as well, it would be a massive coincidence otherwise. And interestingly, according to what I just read the real life person, Django Reinhardt, also kind of fits the theme. Reinhardt was a really famous Jazz musician in the early 20th century Europe, which was a mixed thing during WWII -- Jazz was officially considered un-Germanic by the Nazis, but it was never made actually illegal due to being very popular. But Reinhardt was also well known to be Roma, and he was in Paris during the war (Roma were also on the Nazi's lengthy hit list; an estimated 600,000 to 1.5 million were killed during the Holocaust). He tried to escape twice, but failed both times - in one of those instances, he was apprehended by the Germans, but was released by a Jazz enthusiast officer. While dodging the Nazis in Paris, Reinhardt composed a song called "Nuages" which, according to Wikipedia, "became an unofficial anthem in Paris to signify hope for liberation." A quote in the article from his biographer Michael Dregni: "In this graceful and eloquent melody, Django evoked the woes of the war that weighed on people's souls -- and then transcended it all." So here's a musician whose music undoubtedly saved his life and also used his music to give hope to the populace during the occupation of a dystopian tyranny. That seems very much on point with ATEEZ's storyline!

Admittedly, I went in looking for a pattern after the way The World Ep 1: Movement seems to so obviously be a timeline =) But finding different interpretations is part of the fun of art!

I wasn't aware of the etymology of Django, but you're right, it does make complete sense in the theme. Thank you for looking that up. I would actually be a little more surprise if they DIDN'T mean to use both forms of the word.

Oh wow, thank you for doing the research on that. Sounds like Django can be a triple meaning. Django the outlaw obviously fits the western outlaw theme of the album, while the name being able to be translated as "I awake" also fits the theme of recent albums, while Django Reinhardt as a real individual in history would have encountered much of what ATEEZ/Halateez encounters in the fictional universe they have created.
