*2nd watch reaction*

This video is straight up gay. I now have less respect for the band and have lost all hope for the band being great like they used to. Lord, if you horny girls on here didn't make me laugh so hard I would call you names then leave this place that means you bornagirl.

They should stick to performance videos...you know, the humble Kings just jammin..something EVERYONE can love...not just horny schoolgirls.

I work in the art industry, where obscure metaphors are expected, so maybe I have a slightly different perspective than most. But people come on, what is so weird about this imagery? How obvious do you want it to be?

I love that the guys finally feel confident enough to express themselves visually. I like that they made themselves vulnerable and went for it fully. It reminds me of the passion of the YAYM days when they could give a f*ck. I'd rather see them take the risk of people thinking it's weird or silly, than put out a boring, self-conscious video where they barely move. I don't think the Beatles or the Stones ever worried about looking silly. The expression, or passion, is what I missed when I saw them at All Points, so this makes me really really excited.

this vid is the sex!

i srsly could not help but scream like a little teenybopper when i saw Nathan in the shower

their "acting" was funny though. good vid, i would dare to say one of their best.

[rooney217]

well im late!! i posted in the wrong thread. karma when i get it back

OK, I've watched the video again and it definitely has a lot of religious imagery. Caleb's possessed and the rest of the band is trying to help him. The set looks like an old poultry factory to me. The water is about cleansing - washing sins or evil away through baptism. The book might not be a Bible but it definitely looks like an ancient text. The bird is definitely a rooster or chicken but I'm sure it was picked for its color and it's hard to tell hens and roosters apart. Either way, Jared chasing the bird was about trying to get control of Caleb's alter-ego, "Rooster". And Matt eating the chicken could mean that Caleb or they got control of the chicken/Rooster. And now that I think about it, the water/book/chicken eating are all things that Nathan, Jared and Matt do separately. It could be that these are attempts to figure out how to help Caleb. Like Nathan might go for water/baptism in order to be cleansed so he can help Caleb with his demons without his own interfering. Jared might be reading the Bible/ancient text to see if there's any kind of ritual or rite they can use to get the demon out of Caleb. And - this is really out there but maybe Matt's eating the chicken to assume its power or if the Rooster does represent Caleb's alter-ego/demons, he could be eating it to kill/control it. And the fighting between Jared & Matt could be about them fighting over how best to help Caleb. The interesting part is that the demon is expelled either by Caleb's force or by its own volition. The rest of the band doesn't seem to have anything to do with getting rid of the demon.

Anyway, that's my best interpretation of the video so far. And I can see where that message would appeal to them. I think they picked the wrong song for that message though. A song about sex just doesn't match up with a video about demons. This video would have made so much more sense with "Black Thumbnail". They should have gone with an uber sexy video. Still, this is a departure for them and very interesting. And I agree with those that say it seems like a video for Americans - this is exactly the type of video I might expect from a major label rock band in the States. It's more common for us to have "arty" videos rather than performance videos. Either way, I'm glad they stepped out of their comfort zone and tried something different, even if it lead to unintentional lulz.

i didnt like it :S.....i totally agree with irishmick, this video is just for the fangirls, and for those who are not fans yet....i wont even watch it again, if i do i'm going to feel kinda gay lol

for moments i thought i was watching a maroon 5, or a boyband, video

u feeling 'gay' watching the video says less about the actual content of the video..but about the way it affects you. lol

[rooney217]

at first i was like what?! why did matt get slapped and then showed eating some chicken...this video makes no sense. i hadn't really paid attention is all.

[rooney]

i dont really think its about the alter ego of rooster..because the song is about a girls sex on fire..i keep thinking hes trying to get over a girl that was the greatest ..and theyre doing a ritual just like some girls do with the burning of a photo and what not..not really sure what girls do to get over a guy..but hes showing the want for the girl with the sex on fire? could be wrong..ha as you all were ha
