Weird video. I like the video and the song, but I'm not sure what it's about.

You crazy kids with your vague, cryptic lyricism. Based largely on the title, I'm going to assume it's a critique on consumerism, the type of materialistic things we chase after and/or are marketed to us which give us the illusion of happiness but ultimately leave us feeling empty (based on lyrics like "You've got a new horizon it's ephemeral style"?).

That's my guess, at least.

Much love for Gorillaz. There was nothing I played more in my 1st car. I don't really see this as a critique of any economic mentality as much as it is a critique of the hurried, quantized and overextended ways in which many people live their lives - I believe it suggests that people ought to focus more on the well-being of one another than they do on self-interest and personal achievement. I believe this is a reminder that modern societies place far too much value on things we do alone. To me it says that everyone rejoins a unified existence, preferably sometime before they die.
