My interpretation ties in with imagery from the video. I like to think of it as about a person who's been afraid of letting his emotions get out of control, afraid of commitment, afraid of really immersing himself in the emotion of love. Maybe he was hurt badly once, and has built up walls, has built up protections to keep his emotions protected and his mind nice and orderly--this is represented by the police in the video.
So now he's falling in love proper, in spite of all his defenses. He's realizing he needs the whole experience of love, and can't resist it even if he wanted to. His repressed feelings are exploding inside of him, and it feels like anarchy overwhelming him, the rioters overwhelming the police. Will it destroy him or fulfill him? It's left ambiguous and maybe that's right too.
