I bet that we can all agree that music videos are pretty cool right? How they take the song, all the beats and melody and all that other musical stuff, and put it into a visual form is SO amazing! Like they have to think of a story and plot for a roughly 4 min song, but are constrained to the lyrics, what the record label wants, and what the actual artist wants. Thats a lot of constraint for a seeming small project. But most of the time they can produce a video that looks great and still conveys the overall message of the song. 

Like the Maroon 5 song "Animals" that is apart of their new album. If you watch the music video here it details how the lead singer Adam Levine portrays a admittedly over dramatized stalker/ psychopath. I have a personal take on the song and video that it is playing on one of the two primal instincts of human nature when referring to "the beast inside"which are: sexual lust and the urge to kill. If you watched the video you know which one it is.

Lets break all that up shall we?

A psychopath is person who (I'm about to blow your mind with some science right now, so hold on) suffers from malformation of either the cerebral cortex, temporal lobe, or limbic system.  All three of these are connected to decision making, inpluse control and emotional correspondence to stimuli. When severally underdeveloped, a person can be driven back into the pre-coded instincts that are needed to survive.  Another thing these three have in common are how they help a person connect to other people on a social level. Most psychopaths are very antisocial or have problems acting correctly in a social environment.

So when Adam Levine just looks at the women lustfully in the beginning of the video, it isnt because he is to shy to talk to her; its because he doesn't know how. Or when they are in the club when he does try to talk to the same woman, you see he isnt doing a very good job at it and she goes back to talking with her friends. This is the point where he creepily tries to touch her shoulder because he lacks the ability to control himself very well. It is also very prominent that instead of talking to her, he follows her... like everywhere. He also waited outside in the rain looking through her window, like wow thats some hard core stalking.

What do you think the video is about? Or am I right?
