I don't know if there's a completely hidden meaning to it, but the concept of your dad (possibly grandad) throwing eggs at you, a man sitting next to a radio (an automatic device which the man doesn't need to keep pressing) and looking sad, another man offering the people some kind of human organ and the man just accepting it, a man which reminds me of the Scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz looking character directing two lanes of traffic with unneccessary hand gestures, leaving the city and finding a cool cave with loads of treasure, then letting the child fall asleep and abandoning him to return to their obviously excellent lives? My guesses is that the boy's dad died and was now being looked after by his fairy-tale like 'evil step-dad'. His dad must've told him the old saying 'sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me', and blocks his hearing as he remembers those words. He then runs away, (they left the front door open!?! at night?!?!) steals the dog in order for some company. The evil step-dad throws eggs at the boy which is just normal because he physically abuses the little boy all the time. Somehow it's now day and he is in the city. For the life of me I don't know why he enters the dance/fitness building but now he sees the man (speaking of Wizard of Oz he looks like Tin Man!) and randomly asks him to come into the city with him. Maybe he's an old friend of his late dad as it seems they recognise each other. The man says no as he's making sure the women can do whatever they're doing, although he's actually just staring at the wall. The boy does his whole La La La thing and the man copies and they run off together. Soon they approach another old man selling a type of animal organ, and the boy pulls out some money to buy them (only £5? bargain!) and puts it in the man's pocket. The man, with a completely different face than before accepts it whilst the boy sees the dude on the street controlling traffic (like the man before, it's completely unneccessary since there's traffic lights) and the boy tries to get his attention by going La La La. Unlike the man before, I'm sure he's not his dad's friend, or he'd be pretty ashamed... but still manages to make him travel with them. They hike a lot all the way to a mountain, desert, different looking desert, and a cave. They set up camp whilst the boy is asleep and carry on adventuring the next day. They approach a cave and find some ruins and they all start crying. Maybe the dad died here? Maybe the two men were actually helping him find where his dad died? The boy does the La La La again as the two men abandon him, and take the dog! The most interesting video but pointless one too. Who are you quoting exactly?
