Gotye- Hearts A Mess 

Pick apart

The pieces of your heart

And let me peer inside

Let me in

Where only your thoughts have been

Let me occupy your mind

As you do mine

Your heart's a mess

You won't admit to it

It makes no sense

But I'm desperate to connect

You can't live like this

You have lost

(Too much love)

To fear, doubt and distrust

(It's not enough)

You just threw away the key

To your heart

You don't get burned

('Cause nothing gets through)

It makes it easier

(Easier on you)

But that much more difficult for me

To make you see

Love ain't fair

So there you are

My love

You heart's a mess

You won't admit to it

It makes no sense 

But I'm desperate to connect

And you, you can't live like this

You heart's a mess

You won't admit to it

It makes no sense 

But I'm desperate to connect

And you, you can't live like this

Love ain't safe 

You won't get hurt of you stay chaste

So you can wait

But I don't wanna waste my love

The meaning for this video is quite easy to understand. Gotye is trying to connect to a person and mend his/her heart. The first one is a 'victim' carried away by canniblas. It signifies imprisonment or being controlled. The second one is a broken stork. It signifies abortion and impotence. The third one is a woodcutter in a jungle full of eyes. It signifies that the woodcutter is lost in the jungle full of eyes which are judgmental people. The eyes that are always looking at you, making you feel down. The fourth one is a crane knocking houses down. It signifies anger and depression. The fifth one is a 'victim' on an ice, trying to row to shore. It signifies hopelessness, trying to reach out to someone for help. The sixth one is a ghost appearing out of grave. It signifies death of a loved one. As they continue, they climbed onto each other and flew into space. This means relieving the person from all the six sufferings. The spider closed the heart with a drape signifying a new start, a new beginning. So Gotye, leads the six sufferings out of the person's heart, creating a new beginning for him/her.
