5. The utopia that never was
in my own little theory, every time they sing the chorus part, a magical scene of them altogether is pictured. like it's an illusion. then they go back to their lonely selves. but at the end, theyre gathered in one place or utopia as it seems. #StayGoldMV pic.twitter.com/7dNzIyJUGq

11. It all makes sense now. I think…?
[THEORY]
This house basically symbolizes the utopian world that SD was all about. Jin in FL was looking at the burnt house where JK found Yoongi. Yoongi is singing his lines in the same house in SG. The confetti represents 'ashes'. Yoongi set the house on fire (FL). #StayGoldMV pic.twitter.com/VRMhSDovR6
