never mind, this is a stupid interpretation. Gibling's interpretation is more reasonable.

Cage the Elephant – Come a Little Closer Lyrics 10 years ago
What I think from watching the video many times is that the message in the song is that in the end mostly everyone will reunite in hell or other evil weird looking world. In the video, in the beginning he starts running away from a death reaper looking creature after the phase of being born and after that, he fights for his life against evil looking creatures. Hes representing himself as a warrior in the video and is always stating to his challengers "come a little closer than you'll see, come come come come" and is always slaying his attackers. Towards the end of the video hes riding into a hell like planet in a demon like creature as he states "time flies time flies they all say hello" and by that i think hes saying that everyone has an end and will reunite in hell. But like I said, in the end of each obstacle he states " Still i know ill see you there" because no one is invincible and will eventually fall. This is just what I think and it may kinda sound stupid but its just an unnecessary dumb thought that I had to type only because its challenging but from a pretty cool song with a weird video.
