I'll try to explain the video, the way I interpreted it. May not be the original intention but hey, let's see how it goes!First, the preamble. In spiritual circles, indigo is seen as the most enlightened colour and those who emanate such an aura are thought to be of the highest spiritual level. You may be interested in reading books like Indigo Children, or the channelled texts of Ra's Law of One, to name a few. Indigo people have reincarnated back to Earth to bring spiritual teachings and share as much as they know. People of other colours wishing to advance to the indigo vibration may then, do what it takes to advance (learning of lessons). Or it is up to your free will to discard this as nonsense. But for the sake of this interpretation, we shall see it as 'advancing to higher spiritual levels'.The first stanza of the song is: "Impossible to rise / With shoulder blades of velveteen / Your eyelids closed / Misdiagnosed." Frida Sundemo is referring to the book The Velveteen Rabbit by author Margery Williams. It is a children's book about how a toy rabbit passed the qualifications of being loved by his boy owner, so that he may become a real living thing. This toy velveteen rabbit was at first daunted by the other seemingly superior toys which the boy plays with, so he thought he would never have the chance to be played by the boy and would never win his love, so he would never become real. However, the other toys though superior in looks were actually less durable and get damaged easily. Through a series of events, the boy was reacquainted with the rabbit and played with him a lot. Later, the boy contracts a fever and the doctor told him to burn all his toys away for fear of bacterial infection. Just before the rabbit was going to be burned, a fairy emerged and said that he passed the qualifications of being loved by the boy, so she made him truly real.The next few lines are: "They tried to tear it down / The stairs you built to find your way / To reach a light / See through the lies." & "Oh, please don't let it go / Oh, don't you let it go to waste." & "Whatever they said / Whatever they misread / I'm illuminated / You're an indigo / What they cut / You're able to build up / There's no doubt in my mind / You're an indigo."As far as there are many texts and inspirational art in the form of music, dance, paintings and literature created by indigo people to inspire others to advance higher, there are also many who doubt them and decry such a phenomenon as fake or whatever. Sometimes, even indigo people may doubt themselves and wonder if what they are doing is even right at all. Who is to say, right?In the video, Frida fights with the rabbit (herself). I see this as her internal argument of who she really is and what she is doing (spreading spiritual knowledge) is 'right', as this is a field where there are many skeptics and a seeming lack of concrete evidence. This is a fairly common thing that many spiritual / religious / transcendental seekers will face: are the things they are doing really the truth? There are many established beliefs out there in the world already, after all. However, just like the story and the song, these spiritual seekers are encouraged to hold on and believe that what they are doing is right, as the other beliefs are just seemingly superior on the surface, but they will not be eternal. Frida in this instance, is telling spiritual people to not let all their previous efforts go to waste, that they have real knowledge (indigo illumination). and they should persevere. For when danger strikes, they will be saved. Okay sounds a bit like many religions, but see how this concept / metaphor applies in many instances!And you may think why would Frida refer to a children's book? Aren't children's books full of non-realistic things? Well, all I have is a quote by Albert Einstein, "If you want your children to be smart, read them fairy tales. If you want your children to be even smarter, read them more fairy tales." Spiritual / Metaphysical circles understand that there are much to learn from fairy tales as life imitates art. You may be interested in reading the esoteric interpretations of Alice in Wonderland or The Wizard of Oz, for some of the more popular classics. It is entirely up to you to decide.Hmm okay I think that's all and my argument may seem very convoluted but that's because I'm terrible at exposition. Hopefully you'll get what I was trying to say, and it is up to you to take it, or to decry it, or say it's a different thing. But most importantly, ENJOY THE MUSIC HAHAHA ISN'T THAT WHAT WE ARE HERE TO DO ^^ interpretation is secondary.
