Top Comments of this video!! :3
it's a shame that gotye appears to be doomed to be known for just one song, when there are so many other works of his that are just as powerful and beautiful as (some even more than) somebody that i used to know - i have the making mirrors album and it is brilliant, and i am considering getting like drawing blood, after falling in love with it on spotify
gotye is my favourite artist that i have discovered this year - STIUTK was the bait, and I'm glad that I took it... cos it led to me more :)

The first two verses seem as though they're about insecurity surrounding the desires you wish you could suppress.
Few here'd be true to your point of view
If they knew
What you want
Who here would choose
To walk in those shoes
Even you can't
^He's saying that we'd all see each other differently if we knew these things about each other.
What do you want
What do you want that you cannot say
Show us the faith we're supposed to display
Come what may
You can't!
^This is a verse that's very in character for the video. He's playing the role of this guy on stage saying "What could you possibly want that makes it so hard for you to share? Show your faith in your peers such that they can do so for you!"
Everyone is afraid to take that first step.
Now, the only things that throw me off are these biblical talks and the chorus asking "what do you want FROM US". Perhaps he's speaking to everyone with regards to everyone else?
