Thank you for that delightful video. I believe that aside from its catchy melody and memorable lyrics, there is a deeper message in the video that really strikes a chord within its viewers.
The main theme in this video is lust, something that all of us know. I believe that the director of this video is trying to convey a message about lust in our society. Lust is a primal urge that humans inherit at birth. It is a hunger that must be sated or fear the consequences (of being in heat). This video is about lust (the boy) and its struggle against society and its unwritten rules(the girl). Society is an entity designed to restrain our primal urges and instincts essentially allowing the transcendence of humans above themselves. Therein lies the dilemma. We wish to rise above the curse that was given to us, however, this curse of lust is one that will forever course our veins until the day we die. We have to live with it, yet we want to transcend. This video is about that constant battle that our entire species must deal with. That perpetual appeasement of our inner hunger with "love", a concept we created to make lust socially acceptable. We want to "love", but our minds do not know it. It can only pretend to know, and act out what love is supposed to be. The boy in the video is trying to love, but does not know how. He is a human trying to conform to social rules but cannot. He is doomed to fail meaning we are doomed to fail because we are trying to be something we are not. We can act at our best for only so long, how long will it be before we forget who we are? And when we forget, can we turn back?
