El grup sud coreà Boyfriend el novembre de 2012 va llençar el seu àlbum “JANUS”, la cançó principal del qual també anomenada “Janus” fa referència al déu Janus (vid. Referents del déu Janus), un déu de dues cares. En el vídeo es pot observar que els dos germans bessons del grup representen cada un la cara bona i la cara dolenta del déu.

[Christina Aguilera] Everyone thinks that I have it all But it’s so empty living behind these castle walls These castle walls If I should tumble if I should fall Would any one hear me screaming behind these castle walls There’s no-one here at all, behind these castle walls
[T.I.] Observing the estate through the gate from the outside looking in Bet you would think I got it made, better look again I got buttler, got a maid, and a mansion The belief is that I’m living out a millionaires fantasy Adictivoz.com With pantoms and ferrari’s in the driveway But you see the pain and the change of the same man’s Your vision jaded by the grammy’s on the mantelpiece Just switch your camera lenses you would see the agony Apparantly it’s damaging the man you see before you On the canvas he may seem alright but all the disadvantage his family Encounters overpowers his extravagance Walk in my? I dare you While it really seem like the kings life aint glamourous As seen through the eyes of untrained amateurs Because the camera’s don’t see beyond the walls of the smiles Only counts until it falls in the pile.

[T.I.] Honestly to me, I think I’d lose every benefit of all that I’ve accomplished If my key is never with it, sh-t Me knowing this, why should the verses I have laid Be more important to me than the persons I have raised I guess I’m saying that to say that ooportunity But they just don’t equate to all the time they take away From the kids all the sh-t I did right is a mistake If Deyjah end up a stripper and Major slinging yay How could I ever consider myself a great If Messiah ain’t paid and nique nique ain’t straight Would your favourite song about the whips, money and sh-t Be relevant if you found out, the money wasn’t real, nope So me being the goat shouldn’t mean more to me Adictivoz.com Than see it to a king though From a bad ass kid to man with some dough Otherwise I may well have stayed poor So while they stay focused on me beefin with flip, Shawty Low, Gucci or Ludacris Or if I’m f-cking with a hoe Did I snitch when I got arrested or will I die over nonesense Internally I’m dealing with this conflict So excuse me if I don’t get the chance to kiss the hand Or slap me in the face, ay I, m just the man If they saying I ain’t the best at making hit records It’s cause this my life these ain’t just rapping Sh-t, you think of that deep, did ya dawg See you can’t see the castle through the walls till it falls Bitch ain’t thinking with the deep, did ya dog Cause see you can’t see the castle through the walls till it falls
[Christina Aguilera] Everyone thinks that I have it all But it’s so empty living behind these castle walls These castle walls If I should tumble if I should fall Would any one hear me screaming behind these castle walls There’s no-one here at all, behind these castle walls
[Christina Aguilera] Nobody knows I’m all alone Living in this castle made of stone They say that money is freedom but I feel trapped inside it all And while I sit so high up on a throne I wonder how I can feel this low On top of the world it’s beautiful But there’s no place to fall
[T.I.] For the record ay, I give a damn if I never said sh-t again My career was meant for me to come and tell it Honest interpretation of how affected I’m faced with Matters most rappers used to keep locked away in the basement The day that I walk I ain’t saying that I’m amazing Down playing the way I keep fellas from catching cases Won’t take into consideration how much it mean what I’m saying And when I say what I mean even when I’m sorrounded by the fakers From one of the greatest centers, blessed with most of god’s graces Who made his way amongst the greatest from the grimiest places So next time you rating royalty, I’m always being given to recordings than the level Of your loyalty, obvious you’ve been ignoring me Adictivoz.com Who else ya seen make it through the storm, unharmed disjointed While all the critics was looking for prince charming Adictivoz.com Disregarded the king of the south raised doubt Even though he made a castle out of used to be a house He did sh-t that all your favourites rappers only rap about But most of y’all don’t see the castle through the walls And the smiles till it falls in piles so while…

EL MITE
Acrísios, rei d’Argos, tenia una filla anomenada Dànae. Argos volia tenir un hereu, però no n’aconseguia cap; així que finalment va decidir consultar l’oracle. L’oracle va dir que el fill de Dànae el mataria i li robaria el tron, així que va tancar la seva filla en una habitació de bronze on només hi havia una escletxa d’on sortia un raig de llum. Cada dia Dànae mirava aquest raig de llum fins que un dia Zeus es va convertir en llum i va entrar per l’escletxa. El cap de nou mesos va néixer Perseu en secret en aquella habitació fosca.
La relació que hi ha entre la cançó de Christina Aguilera i i el mite és que en la cançó la protagonista està tancada a dins d’un castell i no en pot sortir, només veu l’exterior a través de les finestres que té el castell. Al mite, Dànae està tancada dins d’una cambra i només pot veure la llum del sol través d’una finestra petita.
