For those who haven't seen it, here's a summary of the video:
There are two story threads. In the first one, a father sits down to dinner with his family and starts to drink, gradually degenerating to the point where he grabs at one of his children when the boy accidentally spills his drink. In the second, a younger guy is hanging out in a seedy-looking place with unsavory-looking characters. In both threads, there is a person in the room--the alcoholic's older son and the younger guy's friend, respectively--who is just sitting there and staring at the offender, there mouths literally stitched shut. At the climax, they both rip the stitches out, walk over to the offender, and say to them the five words: "You're worth more than this." The son hugs his father and the man comforts his friend while he cries.
This pretty much fits in with everyone else's interpretation, but I think the song itself is giving the message in G-d's voice; "rip the seams that I've sewn you" might mean "I made it preferable for you to not say anything here, but you can prove yourself by overcoming it."
