Top Comments of this video!! :3
1:30 is by far my favorite part of this video. The repetition of the event over and over like PTSD, and how the memory evolves over time as part of healing, finally becoming the version of himself that anticipates the car and confidently jumps out of the way

Something i noticed personally is the lights. In the lore we know blue is surrender, the color of the neon gravestones, and yellow is hope and fire, adopted by the Banditos, so the lights of the cars being blue is pretty obviously death. And the light behind them while on stage are more of a yellow color, symbolizing they give hope to others, but there are light shining back on them from the front of the stage, meaning there fans give them hope in return, especially as they echo the words back at them. The strong transition form blue to Yellow is like they are pushing back agents the idea of surrendering. With the lirics that cause this change being "Can't change what you've done" (which to me is being told to accept what you did, that bad things really did happen) and "Start Fresh next semester" (which to me is saying you can forgive yourself and others and keep trying, keep moving forward.) This hope pushing back agents despair and gives Tyler himself strengths as he is now standing firm agents the cars that are now going around him, instead of him moving out of the way. Even pointing and calling out the lights as they go by.
The lights going blue at the end are interesting as it's either the band claiming the color for themselves, (like they are doing with red, which originally was blurry face's color, but now is Clancy's) or Tyler is being lured away, back into the street at the end. Meaning it's something he is still going through. When he is alone, and the show is over, he'll have to face those thoughts again, but this time he has the memory of the show, the hope he both gave and received. The fight isn't over, but he is stronger now.

To me heās describing an event that heās already described but this time heās not using metaphor or allegory. Heās basically exposing one of the real stories that inspired the creation of an allegorical world. The world of Trench and Dema isnāt lore, itās an allegory where the characters and places represent different parts of Tylerās psyche, which he used to examine and better understand himself.

I absolutely love the symbolism in this music video. The clip of him in the road replaying over and over again represents Tyler replaying traumatic moments again and again in your head, and the fact that the clip changes and he runs in a different direction could be mis-remembering those moments. At the end when he's surrounded by people in the road, it's the feeling of coming back to school after being away due to mental health, and your classmates hearing about it and judging you, but in reality all of those people were at his concert, representing support for him. This also explains why he says "start fresh next semester", because the next semester can feel like a new beginning and an opportunity to start over and do better.

"can't change what you've done. Start fresh next semester" is the new "the sun will rise and we will try again"
