Cover art for Lift lyrics by Poets Of The Fall

Has anybody seen the music video. It makes the meaning even more confusing, but also in some ways clears it up. It starts out with a close up view of a roach. Then pans out to the singer who is in prison before a parole board. He releases a butterfly. They do a Roscharsch test and he tries to tell them it looks like a butterfly but the board thinks he's crazy. It's the buterfly that gives the video meaning. But anyway, I love Poets of the Fall and this is a great song.

. . .Um, actually, they're moths.

The rapid relay of pictures in the video also made me think murder or something, and the way the woman kept appearing with this cold sort of glare made me think he likes her but she thinks he's crazy, or something.
