Also, Dalton(?) gives off a very Neville Longbottom kinda vibe. And I mean that in a good way. It's totally a Neville kinda song.

This is a creative video and all, but I hope your realize this song is not about sports at all. It's about a boy coping with his homosexuality, and how he feels like he's let everyone in his life down.

Well thank you, but how did you come to that conclusion?
Well, the imagery ... ( 2 weeks ago by vak1210)
Well, the imagery that he uses, regarding teams and players, how his father wanted him to be this big "player", but he played for the other team (which is why his girlfriend is with the captain of the other team.) Also, his coach (God) is disappointed with him, and says he should have never created him. Specifically, the line "I'll prove to the crowd that I come out stronger" was a dead giveaway to me. If you just listen to the song with this theme in mind, it really is quite clear.
Interesting. Yeah, ... ( 2 weeks ago by TheSe7enthSon)
Interesting. Yeah, I could see that. But has anyone from the band ever said anything about the song being about homosexuality?

Actually, I think Colin once stated during a concert that it had to do with him playing soccer as a young boy, but he's given multiple explanations for many of his songs.

I think this was a little to literally taken from the lyrics but besides that it was a solid video.
