the crow is the connection between the world of the living and the world of the dead. Death and life are the same thing, you can turn on the light in the darkness but you can not turn the darkness into light

In My Humble Opinion...I've read other interpretations, they're all really good, and I'll come with mine.Crow is trying to escape from any situation you can place him in. Maybe, because of his fault, he is trapped in it, and the crow is trying to get out, while he is still able to do it. He could cut the string on his own, instead of flying forever to the way out. The Owl is some kind of a judge. Will there be any sense in saving the crow, by cutting the string and letting him to escape, if he may be trapped again in the same way? Or should Owl just help, just to do it? It's some kind of choice between sense and hope for something better. Some kind of existentialism or depression. Really good video, thanks.

The way i see it - it's just a crow and it's stuck and going to hurt itself or die. Someone, please help the crow. Owl, please help the crow!!! It can't just end this way.

The crow in the video is trying to escape the darkness and the waste that is being accumulated in it. However the owl although unteathered does not flee from the darkness but remains in it. This speaks to the universal phenomenon of escapism. Trying to transcend the dark and messy. Its ironic and oxymoronic those who can fly out of the darkness don't and those who can't fly out of it want to. There is a lot that relates to existsential depression In this video

This isn't about people and "the man" - Or at least that isn't how I interperate it.The Crow can represent anything or anyone, in a bad situation struggling for freedom (or towards a goal) The junk flying at it is the bullshit everyone faces keeping it down, stopping it from succeeding, and of course the string is the main reason it cannot escape its current situation. The Owl is a representation of a person in the position to help them. At any moment The Owl could cut that string and set The Crow free.....The thing about this song is that at one point in our lives, all of us will be both The Crow, and The Owl - and the video stops before it shows what The Owl does.Does it stand and watch? Does it set The Crow free? What kind of Owl would you be? Who is your Owl when you are The Crow?

The way I see it is that the crow represents people or society and the owl represents corporations. You have all this supposed "junk" flying towards the crow, but its products we use everyday. The crow us now caught in this junk and tries to fly out but it cant. The owl stays and watch the crow to make sure it stays caught. In other words, it is the man keeping us down with shiny objects

The sad part in this video is that crows are actualy smart enough to cut off a rope if they have to.

It could also be interpreted as an abusive relationship.The crow (abused or whatever you want to call it) is tethered and unable to free itself. While the Owl (abuser) sits and watches, knowing what's going on but lets it go on out of self interest.There's a lot of ways one could take this video. That's how I take it. I've read a bunch of other interpretations and they're all good. Awesome video!

It's a dream/nightmare. Both the crow and owl are the dreamer, conscious and subconscious. ...Just my interpretation.

Great sound ! I've just heard something else that I'm happy to suggest : The song "When I have fears that I may cease to be" by Nikö Laetailleurs. You can find it by copying-pasting *"When I have fears that I may cease to be (part 1) - Nikö Laetailleurs"* in the youtube search bar. Hoping my own feeling become yours...
