    This is too much
    The suited sax guy
    The bass player playing an sg
    The overlayed large projections of band members on the background
    The OWL
    The woodland creature (and when he lowers behind the amp)
    Clothing
    Glasses
    Dancing
    Hair
    Tree of life
    This is everything

I am particularly intruiged by the verses "You wasted all that you have been given/ still hoping to find something to make life worth living". And in my view at least, it's about not losing yourself and dedicating your whole life by pursuing an idealistic dream, and remembering that you also have to live for yourself because this is your only chance to live and this world is all you got. But this however is combined with the idea of not taking life so serious and allowing yourself to go goofy and weird from time to time if that brings you joy ( that "trapped within your shame thing")

    Just relax our eyes
    And fall into a dream
    Let it take my mind
    Where owls know my name
    And it gets colder every day
    Lost in eternity’s grasp
    Withdrawing further from what we have known
    This mentality that we’ve built
    It’s breaking down
    Still running away from it, you’re still dreaming
    Still hoping that there’s something that may be worth seeking
    You’ve wasted all that you have been given
    Still hoping to find a way to make life worth living
    Lost in eternity’s grasp
    We’ll find no way to weather the storm
    This mentality that we’ve built
