I think this song and video together paint an interesting picture. The car is our society, average people, being chased. The car in the video is already shot up and damaged. At first the car(our society) is chased by inept police who fail to catch us. Then another figure chases the car(our society) in a similarly fast car(another society). The sky's darken when the shadowy figure begins his chase which symbolizes and suggests that he has some supernatural power or controls some supernatural power. The shadowy figure(played by Bruce Willis) gleefully shoots at the stylo car from different angles, terrorizing it's occupants and forcing them to speed faster. The stylo car then careens off of a cliff into the water and is transformed. When you factor in the lyrics with video, I think it's saying the system is overloaded and its coming to an end. This is the point the stylo car careens off the cliff. The stylo car which represents our society careens off the cliff and is transformed into something else and swims away. The lyrics suggest to me the message that our love of electricity and energy has changed us fundamentally as human beings.
