Bedshaped - Keane

There is this song by an English Band - Keane from their album Hopes and Fears. Its the video of the song combined with the video that make the complete effect. Strangely enough I could somehow relate to that naked character stumbling down those steps unable it seems to cope up with everything around him. And was he still fighting his demons or had he given up on them is for him to say.....I really want to make a guess but it may be inappropriate...What do I know? What do I know? I know!!

He feels everyone can see right through him and see him naked....and stumbling down those steps and what seems the death of a spirit...and it seems he find he is more comfortable in that underground hiding place of his..unwilling to go up again....and why should he...

But that silly cat gives him hope and he thinks its enough for him to conquer all those devils inside him....no...they have been there too long....its going to take more than a cat and clothes for him to come up those steps again....he falls again.....

And does he pray or does it happen with divine intervention is something which again I cannot fathom....if he would pray then he would need to have a soul for that....u cannot pray without a soul....and if u wish for miracles then u need to have hope....without hope there can be no miracles....

So a miracle happens and the wall behind him erupts into white light and he finds himself in a new dimension....and he can see him shadow....after a long time I presume and perhaps even his creator....does that symbolise death....or defeat....Maybe death....

So he didnt really conquer his fears and thats not a start for him...he ran away.....he lost....a miracle happened and he finds himself far away from a place where his demons would haunt him!!! SO its not a start as Avi said....definitely not....
