It's Working Lyrics

This song reminds me exactly of the first time I took ecstasy, I was so convinced it wasn't going to work. I asked everyone, "how will I know if it's working?"

The music video is pretty interesting, and I feel like I know exactly what it means. I think the box they create is their mind. In the beginning they are reading the construction manual and it looks extremely complex and confusing...just like the human mind. When they are standing in front of it, they start turning colors...symbolizing drugs. When Andrew is running through the darkness inside the box, it's like the depression some people get after they come down. When the box falls down at the end, that could symbolize going insane, death, or something of that matter.

well, atleast that's what I think. =)
