This song is both bubbly and creepy. It reminds me of the twilight zone....freaky stuff O_O. But like most of you have said . .it sounds like a cult drawing innocent victims into their lost cause.
It can also be interpreted as possibly all those gimmicks, fads or institutions (religious, political, social) that manipulate and persaude people using glorified and overstated lines such as "Join in and you will see the light" . .or "Try this now and you're be tuning heads within minutes"
When really they're all lies, sugar-coated with the 'this is what could happen if you try or do this' slogan....all for the purpose of money, which relates to the lyrics:
"Floating in the magic world
Donate all your money
We'll make it better (make it better)"
I think this song could also be poking fun at the universal nature of humankind's search for permanent happiness.
If you watch the video, you notice the happy pee-wee looking dude who keeps hippity hoppiting has somesort of halo around him and he's wearing white (again to standout against everyone else he passes), which is emphasising he's the result of finding this "happiness", he's very lively and he moves ahead of eveyrone else in time which relates alot to the line
"Time stops still when, You've lost love"
Which is ironic and juxtasposes the line, when you look at the end of the music video, you see the elderly couple who are still together, and time doesn't seem to go any faster for them.
"We're here to welcome you" remind me a lot of business, organisations or cults that try to maintain friendly faces and provide friendly service . .
I think the whole song is secretly suggesting that searching for permanent happiness is useless, as happiness is not something that can be bought with money or with fads, materialism . . things you fall in love with. Attachment to objects and ideas.
The song sounds sinister
during this verse Floating in the magic world
Donate all your money
We'll make it better (make it better)
We're here to welcome you
Eespecially when she utters and sings the "We'll make it better (make it better)" line. It's suggesting that all these gimmicks and fads that organisations, cults, institutions try to draw you in with their lies, have a ulterior motive rather than the one they're promoting to you.
I could be over analysing this all but it was fun so shup. =P
