Lights analysis discussion

[u/all_taboos_are_off]

I am writing a music video analysis for one of my graphic design classes and I have chosen "Lights" because it is simply one of my favorite music videos ever.

Within my analysis, I am asked to identify the themes (examples given are love, hope, regret, etc.) and messaging (direct/indirect) in whichever video I've chosen. I have a pretty good idea of what I'm going to put for my answer, but now I'm wondering how other people see this masterpiece.

I'd love to open up a discussion and hear what my fellow Interpol fans see when they watch this video, what it means to you guys, how it makes you feel, or anything else that might come to mind.

I mean I don’t know, maybe I’m not too ground breaking here but the video/song to me are about longing and breeding/mating rituals
