Runaway

The scene with "All of the Lights" is a very confusing scene. A little boy runs around with red smoke, and red is a very sexual color. Kanye is showing the bird/alien new things like fireworks and the parade, and she looks very innocent during this. The little boy also looked innocent, so this could symbolize that the bird is very innocent so far; but there's underlying sexual tension between her and Kanye (hence the red smoke). The parade also looks like a cult marching, and the large figures that they hold up look like members of the KKK. However, one figure is wearing white and one figure is wearing black. Eventually, a large Michael Jackson head comes between the two figures. This could be a tribute to Michael Jackson to show that he was black once and then turned white, and people still loved him anyways. Kanye could be saying that it doesn't matter what color your skin is as long as you have talent.

  1. The parade DEFINITELY looks like a marching cult. It's such a strange scene and there's just so much going on that it's hard to tell what exactly its purpose and meaning is. But, I do think you're convincing in some of these claims, specifically regarding innocence.
