Hm okay going to borrow some thoughts here, definitely seeing the Alice theme. Going to venture that Karen is an entertainer for the 'kingdom,' as is the wolf aka MJ. Notice her outfit resembles that of the Queen of Hearts, all red, as is the wolf's shoes. They're part of the same kingdom/music industry. The wolf in particular is their key entertainer, king of kings in the music industry = Michael Jackson.
And this mystical world is painted in "glitter" and "silver", seems very nice and dandy at first. However when she says "the glitter's all wet" and the "river's all wet", it sounds like, it's all wet from blood or..it's all mucked up, because later on in the video the glitter which was originally silver (on the drums) becomes red when the people get chopped up. Meaning this world is all dirty, it's a lie. "You're all cold/you're all chrome" suggesting you're hard on the outside and empty/lifeless on the inside. She repeats this lyric twice this toward the end and it sounds like she's accusing the people "you're all dead."
"The men cry out, the girls cry" cheering for the entertainer or replacement saviour, as we often idolize stars more than we do real religious figures. Than Karen as one of the entertainers, yells "off with your head!" And instructs the masses to "dance till your dead", just loose control on the dance floor and use up all your energy for that one purpose till you die. Seemingly, forgetting at the same time the concealed truth about this fantasy place.
"Looking glass, take the past" I suppose look at yourself in the mirror see what you've become and accept the past. "Shut your eyes" because "the mirror lies" - deny that you're a robot of the masses.
My own thoughts at the end of the video is that MJ reaches a breaking point when the light shines on him/full moon and he just looses it. Goes crazy on the music industry, the masses and just kills everyone. It's understood that when there's a full moon people are crazier than usual. This does seem to be the case for MJ in his career, as he was termed Wacko Jacko, accused of molestation among other things, everything just went downhill for him. RIP MJ.
