The main point that the video was trying to bring to light was how you need to let go of any burdens you have. But, if you watch this, I want you to interpret it for yourself. I've watched this video a ton of times and I can find new meaning every time I view it again. The main thing, though, that I wanted to point out is the newly released and second half of This is Gospel, Emperor's New Clothes.Panic! At The Disco: Emperor's New Clothes [OFFICIAL VIDEO]
This is after Brendon has died. He wakes up to light and white all around, fog rolling passed him and he is being judged. As he is in the presence of God, it suddenly goes black and he starts falling. He had a second of hope and now he is damned. I think that this video, even though it's a dumb little music video, can speak volumes. Most Christians would probably shy away because it's about him falling to hell. If that's the case then you better come up with a better excuse than that. If it is uncomfortable, I do believe that you should expand your mind sometimes. Brendon accepts his fate and slowly becomes what we all fear. I researched and found that he based this song off of a fairy tale about an emperor who asks two tailors to create invisible clothes for him to wear. The only ones who would be able to see it would be the smart citizens. The tailors end up acting like they made clothes and pretended to put them on him. When the emperor wears his 'new clothes', he goes out to the citizens and ends up being the fool instead of the people. With the video, Brendon was taking the place technically of the emperor and in his vain state, he ends up in hell because of this sin.
Now, I am not a film student so I could be totally wrong, but the way the video is presented is spectacular to me. The whole environment is eerie and the effects are awesome. I just want for you all to watch these and comment what you got from these videos and how you interpreted them.
I don't know who your are but I will find you and I will be your friend because I flippin' love Panic! at the Disco! Embrace the lurve in class friend. Because, yeah, you rock.
