Top Comments of this video!! :3
Absolutely love the message in this song. The pressure to keep performing, giving it your best, appeasing the fans of your work that keep asking for more while also worrying you've lost that initial flame and it'll all come crashing down.
You haven't lost your flame Caravan Palace. I continue to love every new song of yours <3

Red and blue create purple. I think it represents that it's okay to be sad. Going through a tough experience doesn't mean you have to stay stuck in blue. It means you can resurface as a purple which has actual butterfly wings rather than just clothes that will get burned by the sun. This is how i interpret it.

This music video has lots of meanings in it.
Before I talk about my theory, we have to know that lyrics of ‘melancolia’ means regrets of fallen person. Also, Red and blue contrast were used in previous MV ‘wonderland’ and ‘moonshine’ as ideal and reality. Same metaphor is used on this one, too.
MV of melancolia can be explained by red, blue, purple scenes.
Red: Woman wearing ‘winged clothes’ is spinning and flying around. I think this ‘winged clothes’ is fame from the lyrics. Red scene is showing the ideal time of butterfly woman. But she meets the sun and her ‘winged clothes’ burn. It means her fame has gone and she is falling.
Blue: After woman falls, everything turns blue and Sun became the head of pin stuffing butterflies. She is facing reality after falling from fame. Then woman’s blood makes a puddle also a cocoon. Puddle and cocoon has the same meaning in this MV, place of reborn.
Purple: Now we can guess that purple means going to ideal after facing her reality. Woman’s hand goes up to sun and she reborn with a real ‘wing’. Compare to the red scene, she flied using her clothes before but now she goes up by herself, her ‘winged clothes’ burned in front of sun but her real ‘wing’ does not burn. She became ideal by herself.
Temporary things such as fame, can’t make us go higher, we have to face reality and make ourselves worthy inside. So, from my theory this could be the meaning of this MV. I can’t be sure about my theory, but still I think Caravan Palace and the animators made great effort on this one. Always loving Caravan Palace’s work!!!

I think this is about depression and recovery. The woman's red wing like garment is damaged and turns blue, and she descends into a world of suffering with the pinned butterflies, but after dissolving and reforming she grows a pair of real wings that are purple- incorporating both the happy red and the sad blue into something more real than the cloth wings she started with. That's how I feel after my depression recovery- that I am stronger and have grown "wings" that incorporate all the parts of me and are more resilient than the old ones.

So my theory is that this song and the animation is about facing fame, and how it changes your perspective on your creation.
The beginning: aimless flight, the wings are covering the body made of doubt and insecurities.
Burnout Phase: Meeting fame, finding flawes in the art you created
Rebirth: Realising that the creation can not simply be the extension of your being. Your creation- is what you are and vice versa. The true art is born in sacrifice and honesty. Now the wings are as dark at the core as their bearer.
