The False Alarm video is a real piece of work. Great artist.

It's actually a metaphor about the fallacy of violence as a means to a successful result. The video is hyper-violent in a similar way to A Clockwork Orange.

The first person perspective of the bank robbers makes them seem to be in control, when in fact the helpless female hostage is the only actor that ultimately comes out with the money. She is either a lucky victim or a cunning manipulator.

Her role in the robbery is unclear, but the weekend clearly has feelings for her. It is an apt allegory to the Democrats using Antifa and BLM to use immoral actors to achieve an evil result while ceding no responsibility for the chaos that ensues.

I'm not feeling the song but that was a great video.
