How do you interpret this video?

I've seen it a couple times but I can't figure out what's going on. I'm not sure if the character in the MV is living out his dreams in reality or if he's delusional and it's all a fantasy.



What do you make of it?

This is quite beautiful and intricate. It's not as enigmatic or subtle as it seems, you have to pair the lyrics with the video to make a more accurate interpretation. I would say it's about a few things, the nature of the human, recursive loops, the entertainment industry, and peoples utter lack of sufficient empathy.

MJK sings about something I find to be very similar in Tools 'Prison Sex'.
It's about a young boy who is raped/molested as a child, and as an adult his deepest desire to go around full circle, and be the person who raped him, while raping another child, the lyrics are written from a third-person perspective, as if maynard is singing to himself, or suppressing a fantasy.
It's all summed up in a few lines:



"Won't you come just a bit closer,
close enough so I can smell you.
I need you to feel this.
I need this to make me whole.
There's release in this sodomy.
For I am your witness that
blood and flesh can be trusted.
And only this one holy medium brings me piece of mind.


I have found some kind of temporary sanity in this
shit blood and cum on my hands.

I've come round full circle.
My lamb and martyr, this will be over soon.
You look so precious. "

This is exactly what the man in your video has done.
He fulfilled his desire by reciprocating the pain, by going full circle. By becoming the thing he hates to find sanity, only to become insane, it's beautifully paradoxical. It's all he knows, he gave it all away. But he never followed himself, he looked outwards for sanity, he tried to please people who were not pleasable.

This is the entertainment industry, only .001% succeed. They raped him, so he had to make a full circle.

I'll close off with a few relevant quotes by Volatire(1700's)

"Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities."

It is difficult to free fools from the chains they revere.

Man is free at the moment he wishes to be.


and
The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.
-Marcus Aurelius 26 April 121 AD – 17 March 180 AD


and
If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.
Henry David Thoreau
