I've been trying to figure out the meaning of this song. Is it religious, or is it about drugs with an atheist theme.

They intentionally made this very obscure! argghh!

Or maybe I'm to dumb to wrap my head around it.

So, can anyone help me out?

I didn't watch all 9 minutes due to my short attention span with music and although this is kind of sterotypical and shallow based on the sound with the synths and autotune along with the names of the band and song i'd say its kind of a trippy drug indused song (written while on drugs) although it may be his mourning of a lost person and reflecting on them and this drug allows sort of connection in a way along with a sort of message to be open and receptive to the world. Thats just my interpretation, although thats the great part of music is that any person can interpret in in their own way and make a connection with it. I'd maybe look up interviews of the group and see if the question gets raised of their meaning but i think the fun is in making your own beliefs, also just to let you know as a side note Time To Pretend by MGMT one of my favorite groups was said to be written about their fear and a pet praying mantis that ate its own babies so they could possibly not even have a true message either.
