Not sure about the lyrics, but I definitely know the music vid is based on the UFO-like suicide cult of 'Heaven's Gate'. This was a small suicide cult ending over 10 years ago that believed the earth was about to be 'recycled' or in other words, completely wiped and started again. And the only way to escape this is to leave their earthly bodies behind and join with a spacecraft to a paradise 'beyond human level'.
They believed that the spacecraft was behind a comet flying around in the solar system, and thus around 39 members killed themselves when the comet was at its closest to the earth so they can go to the 'next level' of being a humanless, genderless soul.
This cult links to the video because of the similarities between the suicides. Heaven's Gate members before killing themselves cleansed themselves of impurities by drinking citric juices, similar to what happens in the video, where on the table there are glasses, lemons, etc.
Most importantly though when the two members are running away, a dark shadow is cast the area and they see ghost like figures raising from the building which fly into the sky. This is suggesting they have completed the suicide and they are flying to the spacecraft where they are being taken to the next level as genderless souls.
When they are running away and are met by those thugs, it looks like he starts to regret his decision of not leaving this planet.
Being called 'Heaven's Gate' probably suggests they had some form of Christian beliefs, hence the church building and clothing. Add in some dramatic bits, and you have a music video :) Hope you enjoyed reading.
