The possibly hidden message of the music video of Joost Klein's Luchtballon, and it's not what you think
Okay, this is going to be a short one hopefully, if not, then I apologize, but I'm not going to rewrite this preamble. Also, this is mostly just an opinion piece, not actual facts, but it's something that I believe is what's probably happening.
So, Joost Klein recently released the song Luchtballon, and I know everybody and their grandma has already talked about this song. Like, for the record, I know this song had already been written before Eurovision, though I don't know if the lyrics were different. But, that doesn't matter, because we're not going to talk about the lyrics.
No, there's a hidden message within this video, and, well, it's not what you think.
Okay, let's get this out of the way. A lot of this video is a dig at Eurovision, we all know that. Like, the fact that he's being shot out of the sky by what's a proxy of the EBU, all that shit. But, there's a hidden layer to it.
Within all the layers about Eurovision and what happened being portrayed here, and how he came out stronger, there's another, undiscussed, layer that nobody talks about, and it's about us.
At 0:46, we can see people dancing, "hakken". These people are in suits, which is already a bit odd. We can assume these are from the EBU, right?
Well, later, at around 1:34, we can see him storm Onion Corp, which is basically a proxy of the EBU. Here, the people wear black. However, the suits at the beginning actually wore gray.
My personal theory is that the entire segment where people are dancing in the streets, they're all supposed to represent us, the viewers.
During that 0:46 segment, we can see Joost Klein being dragged away by the two suits who earlier were dancing with his music. However, all the crowd did was dance.
Basically, it's us vibing with his music, but in the end, being just outsiders, bystanders, essentially celebrating Joost Klein but not understanding the pain he's feeling.
Later, his Eurovision suit is being burnt by the suits, who, again, are dancing, this time around the burning suit.
I think that the gray suits aren't the EBU, but something outside the EBU. Maybe even us.
You see, we turned Joost into some kind of martyr, putting him in his own prison. We celebrate the burning of the EBU, but forget that we're also basically celebrating him not actually being able to fulfill his one dream, which was to stand on that podium. We are his prisoners, he's stuck within a prison called the present, not being able to leave the past behind, not being able to go into the future.
It's also why the ending is so effective. In the end, sure, he shoots up some motherfuckers, but he also doesn't outright kill the final boss, instead opting to leave it all behind. He's essentially just letting things be, and is now actually free to ride into the future.
So in short, yes, I'm of the opinion that the video clip is about how the EBU has treated him, but also, how we, in a way, also contribute to Joost's pain.
I know that I don't have some cool closing segment like I usually have, but I was just going to make it really short. So yeah.
Fuck the EBU.
