Fact: the children are survivors from a helicopter crash that happened in a desert in Namibia, South Africa. 2D is playing them music while the rescuers are on their way, hence the flaregun shot at the beginning.
we need but dont deserve 2D 😭😭
Pure gold ❤️
Actually this is based on the transportation of the kids in the middle of the war this may be wrong though because I'm only twelve.
Well this everything much darker. Thanks for the information anyways :)
2D is a hero
I seriously love how neither 2D nor the children have front teeth.
I thought it was just a massive gap between the front teeth 😅
I live for the mixed animation live action of these music videos, it's so creative and i love it
It’s like what they did with humility, and I love it for that.
😅
Its so creative for its time honestly
How did 2D get stuck in the desert with no shirt, kids, a flare gun, and a fucking rising piano
Use your imagination.
What's up GD player
hoi
There's a crashed plane/maybe helicopter behind him
Delexium GD The story is that they flew out to record the video with some armed men to protect them, but the armed guys took the transportation and left them stranded. Murdoc took the Red Cross truck to get out of the heat but he was attacked by soldiers and hotwired it to get away.
The fact that the comments are still alive after 10 years is amazing

FBI OPEN UP-
The song is referring to the Iraq/Afghanistan War, and this is absolutely an anti-war song. It's talking about American soldiers being deployed and developing PTSD from what they've been instructed to do. "The war is over" refers to President Bush declaring the war over, when really it continued for years. "I need a gun" refers to the fear-mongering in America during the war that they were in danger and that the war was to protect them. "All I want to do is dance" is the desire to live outside of that fear. The children are referring to kids that grew up watching the war unfold, being fed propaganda and growing up afraid.
I finally understood the meaning thanks!
Also, "I'm the reason that you fill up your Isuzu; chill with your old lady at the tilt!" - arguing that the war was fought for cheap oil and gas, driven by unchecked consumption.
If you want specifics: "In my backpack, I got my act right in case you act quite difficult" (Referring to armed on-the-ground soldiers in uniform) "And your result weaken with anger and discontent" (Soldier who are worn down and become more and more haunted by what they're doing and less willing to fight) "Some are seekin' and searchin' like Nimoy" (This could have a double meaning: soldiers who enlist to genuinely provide aid (like Star Trek, to explore and not fight), or soldiers searching for guerilla operations) "I'm a peace-loving decoy, ready for retaliation I change your whole location to a pine box six under" (The American military entered under the guise of aiding locals, but engaged in numerous operations which resulted in deaths of non-combantants) "Impulsive, don't ask why or wonder Orders given to me is strike and I'm thunder With lightning-fast reflexes" (Refers to the military creed of obeying orders without question, or reasoning behind operations. Soldiers often enter combat without all of the special intelligence their superiors have, without complete knowledge of why the operation is being carried out) "On constant alert from the constant hurt That seems limitless with no drop in pressure It seems like everybody's out to test ya 'til they see you break" (The wars continued on with very little gain for years, with soldiers being deployed repeatedly without sustained success) "You can't conceal the hate that consumes you" (Soldiers becoming more and more haunted and resentful, developing PTSD, and realizing their country only supports them in a superficial way, as figures and not as people who are suffering. On the flip side, there were also soldiers who came to resent the "enemy" more and more and numerous war crimes were committed by individuals or whole units) "I'm the reason why you fill up your Isuzu Chill with your old lady at the tilt" (The American military was deployed to secure oil deposits and interests in order to continue oil exports to the US. Meanwhile, as the war dragged on, civilians lived in comfort as oil exports continued) "I got a ninety-day extension and I'm filled with guilt From things done and seen Your water's from a bottle, mine's from a canteen At night I hear the shots ring, so I'm a light sleeper The cost of life, it seems to get cheaper" (All of this refers to the development of PTSD) "Out in the desert with my street sweeper "The war is over", so said the speaker With the flight suit on" (President George Bush famously donned Navy flight gear and declared that the war was over, while continuing to deploy active troops for years; this is a visual comparison of an armed on-the-ground soldier in active combat versus a president in flight gear) "Maybe to him, I'm just a pawn So he can advance" (American soldiers were and are not well supported during their deployment or after, and are often left untreated or poorly treated for PTSD and physical injuries by the VA medical system. Therefore it refers to soldiers being used and thrown away for special interests. The war was often used as a way for politicians to manipulate and advance their own agendas) "Remember when I used to dance? Man, all I wanna do is dance" (The urge to return to a more peaceful and happy life)
The kids who were fighting the fucking war. My kid brother has Iraq on his grave marker. I knew a lot of kids who went out there. Wars are fought with guys not old enough to drink.
