Hi all,
Yesterday, by accident as I'm not interested in this kind of music, I saw the MV of this song on TV. As I checked this is the latest release by Maroon 5 group. As I was spending time with my 13 years old sister I was rather shocked that this kind of stuff is shown in a daytime, especially in the music TV aimed for the youth. I've decided to visit YT and watch the video one more time to check WTF.
Mind that this post is just a plain analysis of what I've seen in video. I'm warning it might be a bit graphic.
The plot: Adam Levine, while driving his car, get a phone call with invitation to a party at Future's house, where Future's going to play him a new track. Adam refuses at first, but the caller (I don't know who's this, sorry) insists and Adam finally agrees, but not for long. A while later he's calling his girlfriend to tell her that, by the way she asks him to buy some milk. After a short call with Future Adam arrives and the song starts. Not really weird to that point, fortunately. This was only the intro tho.
Oh, by the way:
I know that the band is named Maroon 5, and 5 is V in Roman numerals. But the V alone strangely reminds me of sign of Typhon.
Let's get back to the video:
As Adam is heading to the party he's passing by the woman in scarlet dress. Does it have any meaning?
A drop of acid is added to the drink Adam has ordered. We can assume that he's going to have a trip... or something else? Maybe he'll be programmed? Let's find out later.
Just after enjoying his enhanced drink Adam goes to the bathroom. But WTF is behind him? A person in a costume? Some horned entity? This makes me to suspect that whatever we'll see later isn't just a product of Adam's drugged mind but a reality that he's going to experience on his own eyes. Maybe I'm exaggerating but this "thing" is really out of a picture here.
Just after this scene Adam is starting to trip. He has a funny experience with a mirror and sees a bunch of trippy stuff after going out of the bathroom, such as a leprechaun. But:
A girl with a tentacle sticking out of her crotch. Seriously, THAT stuff is being shown to the people? I suspect 3 options:
A while later confused Adam gets seduces by two chicks in strange masks:
On the right we see donkey's mask. On the left... horse skull? I hope so.
I was wrong. This is either an antilope or Rupicabra skull. I don't know for sure. But I'm sure that it's a horned entity which is not making me comfortable while watching it. Not that I wasn't expecting that.
And this is just f***in' disgusting. See for yourself:
I'm not even sure if I'm on You- or Redtube right now... But a girl with a chicken head giving pleasure to some guy? It strangely reminds me of this scene in The Shining:
During a Future's part all video is processed by Google's DeepDream neural network program, which produces trippy vision of an original picture using pareidolia algorythm (neural network is trained to recognize specific patterns in the images and changes them according to these recognitions):
(another horned chick here)
(leprechaun I've mentioned earlier)
Afterwards unconscious Adam is carried and thrown to the pool by some buff (or transgender?) woman:
That's where the strangest part begins - Adam witnesses... the wedding ceremony. But not a normal wedding ceremony, just see what the priest is holding:
Holy cow... I mean unholy goat!
Just afterwards we see that all people there have no eyes:
Oddly enough this scene is synchronized with a part of the chorus with lyrics: "I see there's something going on". Can it mean that tripping Adam is placed into reality that is hidden from others? That is my interpretation of this scene.
In the next scene Adam manages to exit the pool and is once again placed in the bathroom. The camera is spinning and shows the places where Adam experienced the visions:
The bathroom.
The bed with antilope(?) and donkey girls. Adam is lying there unconscious.
The party. Notice the horned head.
Previously I skipped the scene when Adam was talking to Future in some room as I didn't notice anything meaningful there (I might be wrong). This scene appeared once again. I think that the white rabbit over there wasn't place by accident ("Follow the white rabbit", anyone?)
Also, it looks like all the places are the different states of Adam's mind (or different phases of drug effect)
Just afterwards we can see the moment when Adam finally arrives home, puts a bottle of milk in the fridge (there is quite much milk, though), then places himself next to his girlfriend and tells her all the wacky story. That's it.
The last, but not least - In last seconds of the video we see:

Just as I expected - Interscope Records.
I'm 100% sure that it's not the all that could be covered in the video. Basing on what I've learned from VC's music videos analysis I can tell that all the plot has something to do with programming or abuse. The drug given by the barman (why did he give him the drug anyway? he must've been told to do so) opens Adam's mind and makes him prone to all the wicked/satanic stuff that is taking place afterwards. I'm confused why such a video is made for a song with lyrics looking like they're about the couple that lost all love to each other.
@VC - I would really appreciate if you managed to give us your opinion on that video.

- Adam is a dedicated fan of hentai (jk)
- This is a demonic vision that reminds me of a similar scene in Jacob's Ladder (during a party when Jacob's wife engaged in an erotic close-up with a demon during a dance - I hope I remember it well)
- This is a similar scene or a follow up to a recent Lady GaGa's Coachella promo video
