These lines apparently dont need a lot of explanation but the scenes shown during the part are really something important and confusing.

(The explanation for the following lines is already present in the 1st analysis part )

Heesung eats a pill and then seems to struggle with what pain or after effects it brings. The group still looks like its in a hospital. All of them are being treated for something but what exactly is that something?

When heesung swallows it whole we see some kind of glitches...flashback of their past. Heesung gets reminded of his old times and it feels like he can't manage it.

Later on we see that the stand in a line and a torch is reflected inside their mouths. Maybe the pill heesung took was to refrain him from becoming a vampire. All of them are being closely checked and treated so they stay normal and mentally fine.

Also we are shown the scene for niki again and he too seems to not know what going on...like he's frustrated.

Thousands of doubts within me

During the following lines we see Jungwoon behind the window. Its like he wants to enter....but is it exactly the house he wants to enter?

The other are inside enjoying themselves. From what i can make from it is that the inside of the house is portrayed as the real world while the outside is still the immortal world, the world of vampires. Jungwoon is rather trying to break in. He isnt desperate to enjoy the time with the others but to break the boundries and make them all cross it to become vampires

At this very point we see niki who is no more in the dimly lit room where he was locked. He's rather in a room thats filled with light. Yet now he is free. He seems confident and as the lyrics depict that he has decided to stand up, to fight back and show what he is capabale of and do exactly what he wants.

We've been waiting for that sky

You calling me over the thin line

When the first line is sang, we are taken back to the stage set. The screen behind shows thousands of people in cloaks...something that is familiar to one part of BTS's ON official MV. Maybe thats supposed to mean they arent alone while travelling to the other world.

The line eventually means they have been waiting for the right time and now that its finally here, they'll accept what it brings.

(The last 2 lines have their explanations already done in the first part for this series so i wont explain them but surely will explain the scenes)

The whiteness in Niki's room spreads with darkness probably indicating that they die because in order for them to become vampires they must die (this part will be solidified in the next part of this analysis) or it might even mean the boundry between the two worlds have been broken.

Next we are taken to the playroom that was already hinted/shown in one of the first seconds of the MV. We see Sunoo and Jungwon sitting there. Sunoo presumably bites Jungwons neck and the atmosphere turns cold, the chair on the right starts swinging and the window in the back cracks. Now as shown before, Jungwon stood outside the window and banged on it as if trying to come in. Here Sunoo bites him in order to kill Jungwon or probably give him blood (but killing suits this more, will be stated with proofs in next part) The cracking window show again that the boundries between the vampire and normal world have opened.
