so the video for "crawl" by chris brown premiered yesterday and i can honestly say i friggin LOVE it. it made me love the song even more. it featured the GAWGEOUS cassie and chris's son Myles. the video was simplistic and was filled with symbolism that could be interpreted MANY ways... trust me i know O_O
so here's how i view it. broken down into pieces. the song itself is obviously about redemption.
the video starts out with him sitting on a bed singing and you can see his heart beating [no pun]. i believe that is symbolic of him wearing his heart on his sleeve like he has been doing like a little pussy ever since his little incedent. basically symbolizing that he still loves her.
the weather/his cold breath i believe represents the industry/hollywood being very cold. or it could be the world in general. i say the industry at first because they show a quick clip of snow falling on one of those hollywood blvd stars.
cassie represents rihanna... or any girl/situation that you are trying to over come. through out the video she is popping up everywhere. i think that mirrors his thoughts of her. cassie is ignoring him but she is obviously very well aware of his presents. i think this is showing how you want to forgive yet can't really bring yourself to do so. because as we all know... he fucked up big time.
cassie following him out the corner store and being all in his face [they should have kissed] basically is her forgiving or flat out giving in.
him being on top of the building while it was snowing is a form of isolating himself and becoming sort of an outsider just watching over everything and observing. IE blogs, public perception. OR i think it could be him raising above all the BS and the situation at hand and moving forward or higher.
the dancing... was unncessary... ADHD mu'fucker. and the triple axel ballet spin was the death of me.
the desert is him being deserted by everyone i believe he is still in the trench coat [tho he is at risk of heat stroke] because he still feels "cold". basically same concept as him sitting on top of the building.
his son- i mean Myles [the kid at the end] i believe he's kind of calling himself immature in a sence. like i said at the begining, the song is about redemtion. so the "situation" kind of set him back a little. and in order to redeem himself he must start back over at stage one. so he must get back to where he was, which requires growing up. but when you're a child, before you to learn how to walk, you must first learn to crawl...
