Great song, great video.

There is some intangible sweetness in this particular relationship of music and video that when dissected, can’t be found in any particular aspect. Metaphors can be inferred from the action (the following and the joining, glimpses of humanity, humanity on a tamed path through the wilderness, pleasure … the nature of energy … which is that energy never stops.)
Good lyrics with some intentional* Buddhist hints.
* Considering the lyricist.
Ten fingers counting we have each
Nine planets around the sun repeat
Eight ball is the last if you triumphant be
Seven oceans pummel the shores of the sea
[Chorus]
It's a typical situation
In these typical times
Too many choices
It's a typical situation
In these typical times
Too many choices
Everybody's happy
Everybody's free
We'll keep the big door open
Everyone will come around
Why are you different?
Why are you that way?
If you don't get in line
We'll lock you away
It all comes down to nothing
[Verse 2]
Six senses feeling
Five around a sense of self
Four seasons turn on and turn off
I can see three corners from this corner
Two is a perfect number
But one, well
[Chorus 2]
Everybody's happy
Everybody's free
We'll keep the big door open
Everyone will come around
Why are you different
Why are you that way
If you don't get in line
We'll lock you away
Everybody's happy
Everybody's free
We'll keep the big door open
Everyone will come around
Why are you different
Why are you that way
If you don't get in line
We'll lock you away
It all comes down to nothing
It's a typical situation
In these typical times
We can't do a thing about it
Too many choices
It's a typical situation
In these typical times
We can't do a thing about it
Too many choices
[Chorus 2]

Correction. The video ain't so great, but the sweetness is.
