The video just shows that people have lost their humanity. The unspeakable things we do to each other and how empty and alone we feel at times and how that feeling of isolation can easily lead someone to act evil (the baby left abandoned in the grass at 4:16 grows up to be the man driving the car 5:45 and ends up killing the girl at 6:04) It is very sad how humans treat each other when really we are all one and the same.

Learn to love everyone for who they are and you just might change the world

Epic

[DataSlam]

makes me think of lying on mt death bed, consumed by sorrow for all the things i didn't do and wanted to, all the regret. the finality of it. super depressing but so cathartic.

The astronaut shows us that you don't have to be in space or some other desolate place all by yourself to feel completely alone in the world. (Notice how similar the astronaut's background/landscape is to the rest of the video, that's not by coincidence). Someone can seem okay but still feel lonely - like we see at 4:32, despite being with a relative(s)/other people when they close their eyes and it cuts back to the astronaut - we get to see what they're actually thinking/feeling inside!
