Amazing video, seen on psychedellics. (long synopsis)

As soon as my boy tuned on the television, it was on MTV2, and this video had just started. we watched it, and were mesmerized by the visuals, and the profound message in the video.

The video opens up with a creature who is very depressed. The video is in claymation. The depressed creature opens a door in his stomach, and sees all the bright light and happiness shining out, from within himself. He quickly closes the door and looks distressed. The colors coming out of his belly represented everything good in the world.

He goes to work, and while riding on the bus, he looks around the city. You can tell that everyone is depressed. All of the creatures are inherently sad. The mood is gloomy, and the whole town is only black, grey, and white.

He works a factory job, along with hundreds of other similar looking beings. Everybody is very sad, and you can easily infer that they hate their jobs. His boss is on a pedestal, shouting orders at everyone, being very uncaring for their well-being. The mood of the video is very haunting, and brooding. The factory is making a product called "Happy Product", which has a smiley face on the box, and clearly does not work because everyone is still sad.

He goes home that afternoon, and decides that he can't continue to live this way. He gathers blueprints, and begins work on an ingenious project. He decides that he is going to take the plans that his company has for the defective product, and make it into a working product and market it as his own.

The next day, he goes to work, and takes a "Happy Product" home with him. He smashes it, and rebuilds it. He then opens the door in his stomach, and places his hand into the beam of brilliant light and colors. When some has gathered on his hand, he drops it into the modified "Happy Product", which are now goggles.

The goggles begin to glow, and give off light. He puts them on, and for the first time ever, he sees everything around him in bright, vivid color. (The metaphoric comparisons here are undeniable) His project has been a success, and he is going to share it with the world.

His product becomes what everyone must have, his product can not stay on shelves, everyone wants one. He stole the idea from the defective "Happy Product", and engineered it into a working project called "Bliss Product" It shows the creatures rejoicing, while wearing the "Bliss Product" goggles.

The main character (the inventor of "Bliss Product") wins an award as being the greatest inventor in the history of the world. He has created a product which has brought joy, love, and everything that is good into people's lives. He is revered as a god.

Soon, he becomes just like his old boss. Shouting orders to the workers of his own factory, because the demand for "Bliss Product" is essentially infinite. An employee of his sees him shouting at everyone, and the worker puts on his "Bliss Product" and sees his boss waving at everyone.

The inventor then goes into his office and sits down. At this point, he understands and regrets what he has done. He takes off his "Bliss Product", and has a look of concern, and despair on his face. He realizes that he has created a product which only shadows the problems of people's everyday lives, it does not get rid of them. Everyone is dependent on his "Bliss Product", including himself.

He then opens the door in his stomach, and he is empty. The light and colors (the things that were good in this world) were all gone. He has nothing left, no soul. He had to use a little piece of himself to make each "Bliss Product". He gets up, and goes to his office window. He looks out over the city, and realizes that his own personal hell is upon him. He gave up his soul, his salvation, everything good in his life was gone.
