This song is certainly about cults, but I don't believe the video has anything to do with symbolism. It's actually a clever remake of Bobby Van's Vaudeville type song and dance number "Take Me to Broadway" from the 1953 movie Small Town Girl. Here's the URL to that video:

As well as the one to the official music video for this song:

So you can compare. Take a look at the details like the car in the beginning and the hoping dog at the end. It's almost exact with the exception of some fantastic modifications that update the time period of the video to present day. Very nice.

I agree, I don't think the lyrics and music video are connected. "Take Me to Broadway" was an awesome find. They were extremely similar.
