Great vid, probably my favourite since his comeback. It makes the song better as well for some reason, I already loved the song though.

This video is so full of metaphors that it's ridiculous.

Feeling isolated (alone in his mind while walking), losing his sense of self (distortions in the mirror). Breaking out of the confusion and darkness (Mirrors, Basement) to see what's left of his life (the destroyed city) and making the leap to recover, and achieving the impossible (jumping off, flying to the top of the building).

... obviously a metaphor for rising up stronger than before after falling.

I kinda hope WBD isn't even a single. I dig the song but it just doesn't say single to me. Plenty of songs on SSLP and MMLP too that I like listening to but don't have a single vibe to them, at least for me.
