Televaters

The song lyrics to Televaters and the video seem very melancholy. You can tell the lyrics talk about suicide and in the music video the man actually commits suicide by jumping off the side of a building. The song lyrics say,” Just as he hit the ground” which implies that the character in the song falls to his death which is of course what happens in the video.

The video also features a glow of light around animals and their eyes. In the lyrics they mention the word aureole, which means a circle of light surrounding something, like the animals in the video.

The lyrics mention, “a curse that flew right by you”. In the video there are black birds that fly past the viewers perspective. The last few lines of the lyrics go, “Everyone knows the last toes are always the coldest to go”. The man in the video is the last man left in the city and he commits suicide. This suggests that his toes were the last to go and that he went out in a more depressing and miserable way then the rest of the people.
