Twitter Theory : The first SKZ that appear (the ones performing ) are them and the industry (the circus), they're stuck in a routine making the same show over and over just to entertain the audience or people, the other SKZ (clones) are also them looking at the performer SKZ just doing things to please the audience and they want to change that or make them realize, if you notice the scene when the original SKZ finds the clones and are faced to face them, clone Felix throws a match that says "STAY" to the original Seungmin, then with those matches they blow the entire circus and at the end they join altogether to make a show with no audience, finally following their own wills and performing because they love it. So basically saying that "screw the (circus) industry and audience, I'm not doing this because I wanna please them, I'm doing this for myself, cause I love what i do".

I like this one

Please bear with me as I try to gather every ounce of what is left of my brain cells to figure this out 😂😂😂 SKZ Never disappoints!

[@littlesushie]

I don’t want to appear like a grammar nazi, but it should be “bear” instead of bare. I’ll delete this comment later 🥲 sorry, professional problem (I’m an editor) I really like your channel btw

STAY are the matches. STAY are the reason they can overcome and destroy anything in their way. 🥰 I think you actually said a lot of great things in this analysis! I agree! :)

[@nataliaalves4005]

I honestly prefer your way, it shows you're watching, analyzing, paying attention to the details. So thanks a lot

[@user-js6uk7yc5m]

Please pause and talk as much as you like in the Stray Kids video.

[@seharwaseem6122]

Stay accepted stray kids for who they really are so skz “blew out” the division between their “regular/original selves” and the “stage personas” (which also got rid of the audience). Hence, instead of competing with themselves (as seen in the mv) to please the “circus”- in a wider context- the audience, the industry and others in general, skz said f it, we’re going to do what WE want, therefore, they created their own circus but this time around to enjoy themselves and to BE themselves. The two versions of them coming together to perhaps infer that: at the end of the day we’re the same people and we’re not going to change for others . We’re just doing what we love.

[@G.Lollie]

WOW.... you had me roaring with laughter seeing you work out the meaning made my freaking day. Jesus talk dirty to me on Felix whisper part was priceless.... among so many others. I can honestly say that Stray Kids keeps our brains scrambled with their concept, lyrics, visuals, and performance this mv was a overload because we had double the stray kids. But I am hear for it and freaking love this song and your reaction. The analysis was great I think you worked it out in the end and it helped a lot.

[@fabricemaire4433]

STRAY KIDS are unstopable this years they drop already more than 6 MV's in less than 3 month it's huges .

[@vamdragon6377]

wow you're quiet smart in interpreting Stray Kids' Circus.. you're tryin' us to read between every single line of the lyrics and simply breakin' it down piece by piece.. I like that.. I like how reactors can really be so tedious in diggin' hidden meaning of a song that a performer is just simply tryin' to imply.. I dunno.. I hope I make sense.. But yeah.. knowin' how creative the kids are and every song they sing has its meaning, that sometimes others just don't realized it its actually like that..

[@ly1ds22]

i waited for your reaction because i knew you're gonna be blown away by this mv. i love love love your reactions so much, i adore how you analyze the smallest things in the mvs and lyrics and open my eyes on things i didn't notice before. just as much as you enjoyed this mv, i enjoyed your reaction!!' thank you

[@elia7886]

so much respect for you being able to think of theories. my one braincell is doing its hardest to hear out any words or grammatical structures i might now and gets distracted by 8 (at the end 18) disgustingly hot men

[@LUMI_MBB_STAY]

My main take away from the MV is that only Skz can out do Skz. Period. This song is so amazing!

[@sppart1185]

the more I think about it, everything you said makes sense... It actually looked like them observing over their part of personality which they show in the entertainment industry or overall on camera... It's interesting the way you interpret them and I think you do that well on behalf of SKZ👍🏼

Always love your video breakdowns. You shine a light on the nuisances of both the concept and the overarching theme(s).

[@Mayoooooooo]

I really like your analysis, and don't worry your words makes sense too. I appreciate your theory and reacting to Stray Kids!

[@khaalida407]

The “warping” that you mentioned, to me, gave the illusion of a funhouse mirror.

[@misa1840]

13:30 I can almost hear something exploding in your mind Thank you for the reaction, love your theories!

[@aianbl]

i'm very impressed that you're able to analyze the whole storyline in one go, it took me several rewatches to understand. anyways, love your reaction, keep going!

[@oopsiewhoopsie5742]

Among all the youtubers that react to Stray Kids you are one of my most favourite reactors, I just love how you breakdown their songs so much, it really shows that you truly listen and try to understand the songs.

[@oddinaris]

actually skz has a storyline where there are two parallel worlds, means that there are two versions of them existing... their storyline is very complicated since they don't give that much, but as you can see in these past few years, they are focusing with their music and storyline at the same time, which is very entertaining to watch... in one of their upcoming projects this year, they announced "skzflix" (which is obviously inspired from the streaming platform) and most of stays are guessing that they would explain everything in their storyline through the project (hopefully)... but anyways, i enjoyed your reaction especially on how you explained everything in depth, and the details too, it's really cool that you noticed it in just a glimpse.. can't wait for more reactions!!

[@raissamendonca8914]

Thank you for the reaction! I think this is the first japanese song from stray kids that I actually love, it's just so groovy and fun, fricking fantastic ❣️

[@zahranrz9231]

DG your analysis was so good. I would not have caught on to most of that! Great job!

[@alessandrac.4417]

I'm glad you enjoyed this song and MV. I think they're wonderful. I love circuses, I still go to see a show on occasion. The first novel I ever wrote, at fourteen, featured a circus. So I adore this. I don't have an analytic mind like yours and mostly enjoy the music and the visuals, but I appreciate your attempts to explain what my brain refuses to get into. So thank you. It's always fun to watch your reactions!

[@OEquiano]

I enjoyed your thoughts on this very much. I know they are very different songs, but CIRCUS makes me think of their song THE VIEW. In CIRCUS they sing "Welcome to my home! Feeling good right now" which reminds me so much of their lyrics in THE VIEW: "Now I feel comfortable, I like it this feeling and I'll never let it go. I like the view right now...Wherever I go I'll be ok." Even if life is sometimes a bit of a circus!

[@foxhunt1440]

DG every reaction: "How can I make this about Maniac...." (Just being silly, I love your reactions and breakdowns!)

[@dorotka8258]

Świetna analiza teledysku. Ja uwielbiam Stray Kids.

[@reilin4747]

i like your interpretation about the coexistence of good and bad in one's mind, acknowledging the bad and the like because of STAY fandom, and it makes someone STAY alive when the mind is just balanced-idk, with skz you can reach and grasp the stars and it would still feel right somehow 😂

[@Selande3]

I really enjoyed your reaction and you pointed out some things I had missed. Also love the comment from @Cks Skc that was awesome! However my fav quotes from you during this was "may as well have been directed by Christopher Nolan because I'm completely mindf**ked right now." and also "I feel like Ace Ventura and that rhino's a$$ - that's how far I'm reaching" I literally started laughing out loud and really needed that. Thank you 😁😁

[@cassievalcin995]

STAY's love can bring down all intoxicating things . STAY make Straykids stay ❤❤❤❤

[@LeeKnow3rdEye]

I enjoyed your reaction. I always like your thoughts.

[@SKZemiliaSTAY]

"I feel like Ace Ventura in that Rhinos a$$" 🤣🤣🤣 I particularly loved that analogy because I'm biased to Ace Ventura. My dad was actually an extra in the first Ace Ventura as a police officer extra (he's an actual 25 yr retired police officer now, who happened to know someone in the screen actors guild who got him the job as an extra while he was still on the force back then) and he's in like 15 shots in 2 scenes 🤣🤣🤣. I literally have pics of my dad with Tone Loc, Courtney Cox, Dan Marino, and the Dolphins cheerleaders on my fridge right now 🤣🤣🤣. That analogy you made hit home a little 😆. Too too funny! Wow! 🤣🤣🤣

[@sabs_1108]

I'm loving your reactions... It's so much fun. And I'm brain fucked like you too... That's why I'm enjoying your reactions so much. Keep doing it like that 🥰 I definitely will watch it every time 😜

[@beccab1901]

I love your reactions so much!!! I always get some insights that I hadn’t picked up on. I sure hope they perform this when they come to the US! I can’t freaking wait!!!

[@poppyfortea]

I've only watched it a few times and haven't checked lyrics, so I have no real clue what anything means but I love to form theories based on absolutely nothing.😅 The black and red wardrobe SKZ was the act in the circus with the crowd first (symbolising the real SKZ performing to an audience/the industry circus maybe), and the black and checkered SKZ snuck in backstage to watch. Then the checkered SKZ are vibing in the middle of the empty circus after they snuck in, playing with the lights and mics and everything, like they're the ones who aren't constrained having to perform to an audience, and are just doing what they want, and the black and red SKZ are watching them and approving of their performance (maybe realising they don't need to perform for others to feel validated). The denim version of them seemed like they were only backstage, I dunno if that's the checkered version in different clothes (they have the same hairstyles as the checkered SKZ as far as I can see) but maybe denim SKZ got blown up by the massive explosion the other two versions set off. Honestly my first thought with the STAY matches wasn't a lovely symbol of STAY being the spark to the group, I was like ah shit, way to make STAY and accessory to your arson.😂 My second thought was like is this them passing the torch to the version of themselves that's less constrained, or a more successful SKZ passing the other SKZ the weapon to free themselves of their limitations? I did like the symbolism of the two versions of them coming together to destroy the circus that was constraining them and then dancing as the whole thing just burns in the background. I thought the warping in the video was partially the fire, and it also made me thing of Thunderous, different fire, but still there were parts here they were throwing the flames around.

[@CrystalWi]

A maniac type of circus! Genius! I couldn't agree more! I really love how you interpret their music videos to the best of your abilities! When I first watched it, I was confused. Watched it a second time, still confused, but I was able to understand a bit more!

[@mellom_h7120]

Love your detail analysis..

[@renniez1531]

Commenting on your statement around 2:38. I don’t think the video is a call back to Maniac. The way I see it is that SKZ has always been an out of the box group, all of their concepts are insane and something you’d never think of. I think that this song is a message to everyone that that is where they are comfortable (on the weirder chaotic side of life and the music industry)

[@behindzerosp]

I commented this under Cks comment too but to make it separate: I think the clones actually represent STAY, like we are what propels them we are the matches that are used to ligth the fire, the fire being Stray Kids, since we see rope on fire that leads to explosion.Using the theory Cks sharad the ending can represent us together joining to lead the circus since Stray Kids are known for embracing being different. Speaking of whitch both here and in Maniac we have laughter present showing joker like persona someone that doesn`t play by the rules. Another way of seeing it may be purply storyline since we know that from very long time we have theories of Stray Kids having copies even from District 9 era and the evil Jeongin in Freez also suggests we may be right since he was the one with copy in District 9,another thing pointing to that is the lates Mixtape Time Out they dropped for Stay birthday where the oncept is young and free bright but the images [ text and scribbles over the mv/pictures in the mv] suggest somthing sinister

[@lonely_Warbler]

🔥 best reaction

[@Irene-cl9bd]

It's all a metaphor, the circus represents the world of entertainment and with their doubles they mean "the Stray Kids compete only with the Stray Kids and no one else". Then there are references with "All In", "Back Door" and the circus song is taken from the cartoon "Madagascar" ahahaha. The final scene is a tribute to Hugh Jackman in "The Greatest Showman".

[@TiaTruly]

To be fair, this famous circus tune is based off an original composition from 1897, which became a popular circus song in 1901 and is still used to this day. Which is why it's so perfect! It has been used/remixed in many many movies, including Madagascar. (The "Afro Circus" tune is from "Entrance of the Gladiators", by the Czech composer Julius Fučík) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entrance_of_the_Gladiators#Adaptations_and_uses

[@Irene-cl9bd]

@@TiaTruly I meant that for the remix of the circus tune they had taken inspiration from a scene from Madagascar (I think the third film) 🤣

[@WitchSara246840]

I think the all black outfits are a symbol of what they are supposed to be. Near the end, they just were dancing. The other group was just jumping around and not in sync. So I think it kinda shows that maybe people just want to see their performance but not Stay to see their chaoticness? Idk if that makes sense

[@tanithrea]

Everyone already said the ideas and theories I just wanted to shout out Ace Ventura reference. Both films are classics. Lol 👏🏻💖🕵🏻🐬🦇🐘🦓🐅 Like a glove! Lol 😂

This group that I just found out about called Forestella it's 4 guys who's vocals will actually put you in a coma I really recommend checking out their song "Save our lives" it's absolutely stunning visually, vocally, and lyrically I literally was on the floor about to cry it's a sensory overload

[@Jungkook_titties]

Wow I love your analysis never thought of it that way wow

[@sissi7909]

I feel like at first there was 2 versions of stray kids : stray kids vs straykids ( them entering the circus whatch skz version 1 while working) Then when they passed the "stay matches" it's like them saying to each others " let's work together " to make the show even better Haha I dont know....

Hi, I’m not sure if you take requests but if you could check out the group kingdom? I think you’d really like them. They’re a pretty small group right now and they have four albums out so far. They debuted with “Excalibur” and they have “karma”, “black crown”, and “ascension” as well.

yeah.. i think skz japanese songs are not mean to be THAT deep as you go, but there are a lot of interesting things here. i look at as them looking at them in the circus, always going round and round doing the same show, and then the other skz tosses that stay matches and teaches the circus skz to be free and in the end they all dance together. and all the maniac/inner self/circus freak metaphors are there too ... but overall i think this is more to just have fun.

[@lilibunny7147]

I always wonder if the corset wardrobe choice is to reflected the industry vision of them being restricted and having to be in shape etc. I'm probably reaching but if so that's so sad u.u

[@DGReacts]

Corsets were worn a lot in the circuses back in the day, It may or may not directly affect the storytelling in the video BUT, it is a good point because perfection is always expected from those who are in the music/entertainment industry, which could be quite suffocating, we're both probably reaching here but I still like the thought haha!
