Here's a quote from Namjoon several years ago that supports this concept as well:
"Maybe I made a mistake yesterday, but yesterday’s me is still me. I am who I am today, with all my faults. Tomorrow I might be a tiny bit wiser, and that’s me, too. These faults and mistakes are what I am, making up the brightest stars in the constellation of my life. I have come to love myself for who I was, who I am, and who I hope to become."

So I've seen some interpretations of this mv on Twitter and I'm positive that they were correct because Namjoon is a genius and a poet. The concept of him being on a train is a physical representation of "still life" because even though the train itself is going forward and moving, everything inside the train is still. Also, the frames of him that froze and stayed in place represented him at different times, but they glitched after he moved on because they are in the past, and he'll never be in that same spot again. Basically saying that even though his whole life is out there on the internet to view forever, those videos and pictures will never be him in the present, constantly changing and growing. So simple but such a powerful message. It reiterates the theme of the whole album, which is him saying "this is the past, these are the things I've done and learned, and now I can accept it and move on and grow".

what i got from the video,,yk how he was in a train, it stopped moving...but he was still moving. idk how to explain it. what I'm trynna say is, the song was inspired by still life paintings as you learned in the tiny desk concert. so it's like he was in a picture walking around messing around with the cup and stuff, it was like a metaphor on the paintings. I'm sure someone else will explain it a lot better but maybe you'll get something out of this pfft i tried.

hands down my favorite music video of all time. the concept, the storyline, how it connects to the song perfectly. he's a genius this was amazing.

In his notebook, "army" "anderson paak" etc are written, and he even drew a still life painting.
