When talking about "Euphoria" video clip, it's hard not to emphasize the amount of theories ARMY has created about it's meaning.
I can only guess about true meaning of "Euphoria" clip but it's how I see it:
Overwhelming with painful feelings, each of the boys crosses the last line separating them from that action they were to effect for a long time. I consider the way each of the guys reacts to traumatic experience to be the key moment in a whole film. V bursts with an anger, slowly plunging into quite agony. Jin is reacting as he is detached from the occuring events. Jimin desperately tries to return to hyung's company, he attempts to find them while something is about to overtake him. All of them experience their pain in own way; they all are shown being down at the same time what creates a feeling that the end is pervasive and irreversible.

When taking the last fatal step, they are accompanied with memories about happiest moments, each of them had with hyungs.The whole world is paused and Jungkook, quietly wiggling with his eyelashes, weakly opens the door to memories.

When boys are too close to the end, the sudden light of memories, appearing quickly in their minds, make them stop. Here Jungkook closes his eyes and finds himself among hyungs. Boys turn back to the good times, they spent together, however looking through the eyes of person, who is about to say goodbye, which makes their last minutes both painful, and euphoric. This period of time exists somewhere in the middle between reality and mind's world, present and infinity.
They all are having fun, however it still feels that they are reexperiencing past events. Fellows behave in a funny, innocent way, showing that each of them is an essential part of the group, but it seems they have something hard on the heart. And this actual something finally overtakes V (incarnating any of the guys), who is able no more to handle this. He appears in the middle of unfinished action; but the presence of cheerful hyungs, observing him, makes the final outcome quite ambigious.
Details of film only deepen the whole meaning: the scenes from "Butterfly" clip make me think of message, reffering to sufferings BTS displayed in their art earlier; the blood and lily's pales embody the intensive experience and tenderness of the soul; Jin seems to know about V's intentions and feelings = hyangs are aware of each other's pain and know what to expect.





There is something special about V jumping from the tower. In the beginning of film it's difficult enough to notice his fellows sitting nearby. He is putting the last efforts into taking final desicion and is falling into the water with painful facial expression. Later, the view of same tower appears , when boys are enjoying time. V slowly is turning his sight to it, as he started to feel something omnious and terrible beside him. When Jin with camera unexpectedly appears on the top of tower, alll guys pay attention to him, cheerfully greeting him - all of them, except V. Realization of what this tower actually is slowly reaches his mind, while I am getting goose bumps on my back. After Jin's camera is directed down to the water, reality hits V and he finds himself falling down..

Still, there are some unclear details in the whole story, which can be explained accurately only by it creators. But, what is definitely clear, is that "Euphoria" short film is a psychological and esthetic masterpiece, presented for us by sensitive and deep-minded Bangtan Boys.
The main idea I suppose to be that anyone has something bad to go through and sometimes it keeps it's presence in one's life (not just scars). Well, these guys were probably saved by friendship they found, and this what is actually valuable that much, that can save the live.
Army, what do you think of it?
