About the video;
Firstly it’s open to interpretation. One could say it’s a metaphor about the effects on society that happens when a new element is introduced, industry/technology/money/drugs/alcohol/smoking/etc. The polyps represent humans, at first all singing together in harmony, then when the element is introduced, they exist in a discordant belligerent manner, having fun and enjoying themselves without caution in the light of this new element, which winds up killing them all in the end.
When I first heard the song, the film clip in it’s entirety sprang straight into my head, clear and picture-perfect, exactly as the film clip came out. I’m not exactly sure what the song itself means, but I couldn’t picture any other visual interpretation, this one was just too strong. But it’s also just a bit of fun, I enjoy the juxtaposition of cuteness mixed with grossness and creepiness. – Jarrod Elvin, Decemeber 2012
