NCT 127's Cherry Bomb Theory

Back here writing more theories after a long time (≧◡≦) Soo~ this time it is NCT 127's Cherry Bomb!! In this i won't straightly tell the mv story or anything similar. I'm only going to look for clues which make the theory go further. Let's see what we can find from here ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

1. Cherry Bomb teasers

As usual i'm gonna start with the teasers, photo-ones since there was no invidual mv teasers this time. Let's look at the pic teasers at first!

 Well there they are... Starting from the left photo patch, the first thing that i see is those TVs lol ofcourse it is not but thinking theory-wise is what i mean hahah Out of the members Doyoung, Haechan, Jaehyun, Taeil & Johnny are the ones with those: everyone except Taeil has a big TV, who has a mini one and Doyoung & Johnny have both. It's quite hard to think about the meaning behind them, but i doubt Jaehyun's is bringing anything positive being blacked out. ಥ_ಥ And well to be honest these exist:

 
So basically Taeyong has both too, but it kinda creeps me out that WinWin is only inside of one.. ಠ_ಠ

Okay well the TVs aside i see half-colored WinWin & Yuta's photos .. or backgrounds. I don't know, it's either my thoughts not working or i don' think these pics bring that much theory with them..? Not sure, not sure...

About the second patch i see something possible regarding the theory called 'THE BACKGROUNDS' sweet name huh ಠ⌣ಠ Anyways, the colors, yes .. Lemme list 'em down:

Team Yellow - Taeyong, Doyoung, Jaehyun, Mark

Team Pink - Yuta, Haechan, WinWin, Taeil, Johnny

So basically team yellow consists of the oldest test subjects who are all kinda confirmed to be what they are. Then again, team pink consists of all the higher beings -- The Universe (Taeil), The 2 Answers (WinWin & Haechan) .. and a discarded test subject (Johnny) with an unkown one, possibly a test subject (Yuta). I think it could mean that Johnny & Yuta are something or they could be becoming something, if it's possible(?).

The third patch of photos are just them being all handsome and charismatic (≧◡≦)

2. The yellow flag

I think it would be the easiest way to show this thing first.

 There! You see it right?! Nice.. ಠ⌣ಠ

Back to my Sherlock-mode... Searching for a yellow flag in dreams brought me to this:

"A yellow flag represents an epidemic disease" -source 

Yikes..  ಠ_ಠ I think the flag could bring the theory back to life hahah even tho it's not such a thing i should be laughing at... But looking at the scenes really precisely i found this:

 Bam. Back to the theory i said. Not sure if that flailing thing actually is the same flag, but it's similar enuff. So, Johnny ... he's becoming more and more angry and starting to get his game rolling. Because of Jaehyun, i think. I'm not sure if he's thought through the disease case clearly enough tho. Because the disease will lead to a future like this:

 Johnny might be annoyed at Jaehyun, but is he really ready to sacrifice his old bestie and the Universe to make him die slow..? If he's even able to die, Jaehyun being the Perfect Creation...

 Yes.. look at him being lonely, Johnny ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) That might actually be the reason for him to do it! It was revealed that because of Jaehyun, Johnny had to live alone being a discarded test subject while Jaehyun became the Perfect Creation and stole his bestie. It's okay Johnny, i understand you being sad .·´¯`(>▂<)´¯`·.

Here's the whole scene. Bam. And they're gone ಥ_ಥ Thinking about it afterwards, how could the Universe die. That must be a heck of a disease to kill one...

I think this scene could have a hidden meaning:

 Boom. Johnny is being drifted away by a vehicle that represents either Jaehyun or Yuta since they're both seen on one in the mv. Well technically not: Jaehyun was IN and Yuta was ON.

That just gave me some creeps... So, this could mean that Yuta is trying to control Johnny by his hatred against Jaehyun(?). Wow...

And all of this happening, Johnny doesn't even realize that he's being watched...

  Maybe WinWin & Taeil are trying to bring him back. To do so, they should do something and not just sit around keeping an eye on him tho. But who knows, maybe this was part of the future WinWin holds. It could be a good time for Taeil to find a new one, but is there one..? Maybe there'll be one...

3. Rooms & song

The mv features only a few actual rooms. The boys are mostly in some warehouse-looking places. Let's begin searching for the rooms then.

  First room is this one. Behind Taeyong there're rockets/airplanes too, but i'll inspect that more in the next chapter (•̀ᴗ•́)و

So, the room then... It's quite .. room-ish. It seems like a room that's warpped into the warehouse from elsewhere. Why? Because..

..See? It could portray the image of/from the 7th Sense. Taeyong is often trapped somewhere in their mvs tbh: in The 7th Sense in the glass box, in Limitless in the house and in Cherry Bomb this. I'm just really curious what the scientists are upto with him...

Later Mark is seen in the same room too, but they don't see each other -- like Jaehyun & Yuta in the vehicle or Johnny while walking past WinWin & Taeil -- which would explain this to be a dream sync again.

The second room is this one:

Doyoung is the only one visiting the room. I don't even know how to put this room into one word, so let's just call it 'the place'. The place looks like some sort of communication room or security room. It makes me think that Doyoung is really desperate to get out of the dream. It would continue his theory as 'the waking one'. Doyoung could be already fully aware of the dream sync and real time and could tell them apart. It would be a good thing, at least if he was trying to wake the others too -- or not, since the dream sync was described to end if even one in the dream wakes up.

And that takes me to the next topic. Doyoung has a similar theme in every mv, i think: in Without You mv it's shown how he got in to his first dream and at the end he realizes it all being only a dream -- in The 7th Sense Doyoung's glass box is full of mirrors/reflections which make him think about and look at himself -- in Limitless he has the eye-ring and is the one waking up -- in Cherry Bomb he has those eyes yes, yes, those beautiful eyes in his clothes and is in this room probably trying to wake up. I would name him 'The Waking One', but i don't know why i would name him lol.

Well, this one isn't a room, but it makes me sad and curious:

 Why? Because this is the only scene in which WinWin is shown alone. In the darkness all alone...

 Like his fellow Answer, Haechan. It just makes me sad to see them like this .·´¯`(>▂<)´¯`·.

Then i mentioned i would write about the song here as well. There's not much, but i'll write a few lines of Cherry Bomb:

"I don’t wanna be trapped and lost [TI]"
"No talk, being humble wherever you go,
I don’t like being chased so I’m telling you upfront
I won’t bow to you [MK]"

As written the upper lines are sung/rapped by Taeil & Mark. I don't think i need to explain the lines further -- The lines pretty much describe how they want to be free and rebel against the scientists. At least that's what i think.

4. Vehicles & the mysterious Yuta [part2]

Vroom, vroom, it's vehicles i'm sorry, i'm really tired and in a weird mood atm, don't mind me Yes, sorry. It's vehicles. Again, like usual, i searched pretty much about what they all mean in dreams. Listing all of them down could be one of the easiest ways to begin:

• Motorcycle
• Helicopter
• Rocket
• basically vehicles

Yup. So continuing in the order which is shown above.

  Although already posted, here it is again, Haechan and a motorcycle. Motorcycle in dreams mean:

"To dream of a motorcycle is associated with solid progress in a situation that you have been working towards. This dream signifies that you are moving forward in a situation in your life.  The motorcycle can also mean that you are looking for freedom" -source

Sounds like Haechan has made progress with something(?). That makes me quite curious. And as usual, he longs for freedom. (っ˘̩╭╮˘̩)っ

 In here the 'motorcycle' is shown really close. Technically it isn't one, but it's the closest info i found about it.

"To see a motorcycle up close in your dream means that you fear going against the rules." -source

Which is really far from what i expected. Since this is Yuta we're talking about.

Yup, it's him. So, he's afraid of going against the rules? Well, the scientists must be scary, right..? What rules tho..?

Helicopter. Our old mate from Limitless. At that time it was Haechan who probably noticed it. This time it's... *drum rolls*

 Doyoung! And soon after that:

Mark ಠ⌣ಠ well technically, he didn't see it. The helicopter passed behind him...

Anyway, helicopter in dreams mean:

"It generally signifies that the dreamer is going to get immense success in his life which is a result of his hard work." -source

For Doyoung this could be good news. Since he's been trying really hard to get out of all dreams, he probably will succeed at it sooner or later.

Rocket is the next one. Remember the first room?

This one? Behind Taeyong there're those rockets... Let's call them rockets...

In one scene this is shown:

A rocket. It's in Taeyong's hands.

Like this. So, what do they mean in dreams?

"A rocket in a dream represents mass power and energy. That is; it can be symbolic of the dreamer either in need of these, or recognition that they are at their disposal. Hence, in this sense, the dreamer is likely to be making radical change in his or her life and will require as much. It can also infer that the dreamer might be about to embark on a long but fast journey to a place they have not seen before." -source

"Straight and speedy travel toward goal, desire" -source

"a rocket can be a symbol for a quick and sudden de­parture from one area of life to a new one" -source

"Breaking free of restrictions or self-imposed limits." -source

Wow, seems like Taeyong's either going for another journey or just gonna run away how is that even possible tho... the scientists are crazy af Well, guess we'll have to wait and see, what will happen.

The last thing on the list was 'basically vehicles'. Yes. I put basically vehicles as the last because it leads me to my next topic again. Lemme trash all of the vehicle things i found which are yet to be shown:

 lol i thought there was more, but it seems like i've already posted all of the ones i was supposed to put here. Oh well...

The upper photo above shows Mark sitting on a car, which is stuck in the ground vertically. Crazy much, but i'll tell you what vehicles in dreams mean:

"May symbolize freedom or the ability to move and control the path and direction of your life. May symbolize your drive, motivation or ambition in life. -- The condition of the vehicle and its engine may be a metaphor for your health or your life in general." -source

Regarding Mark this is quite sad. It would tell us his life is upsidedown (っ˘̩╭╮˘̩)っ

Regarding Yuta, it brings me to the mysteroius Yuta part 2 lol. In this mv, he's seen on 3 different vehicles, lemme repost:

 So, basically an ATV, a car i think but it's prolly not and a sports car(?) lol no, but i'm too tired to search for a more fitting word. Regarding the theory it would mean he has lots of freedom and the ability to move and control the path of his life. It sounds really odd for a test subject... So what is he?!?!! He's a higher being than any other test subject and is right behind the Answers without being one. I'm starting to lose patience SM...

This scene makes me curious too. It seems like Yuta is ripping his way through .. the dream maybe?! But what is HE?!?! A dream ripper?!?! Is that even a thing lol, but who knows... Maybe one day we'll get to know what he is...

Stay tuned for the next theory! (≧◡≦)
