I wrote about this and other video interpretations
some time back. I'm sorry you missed that post,
but as is typical of WIRE, all topics eventually
recycle.

*My* intepretation of the "height-challenged" man
"dying" is that he physically didn't die, but rather
his love did. The woman appears to die and with that
his chances for happiness are lost. Perhaps he
wished he could join her - hence his own visions
of death.

There is also the question of whether the
female trapeze artist really died. It's possible that
from the "height-challenged" man's perspective, it
became clear that he would never win this woman
(if you recall, she seem "trapped" in a relationship
with another circus performer). As such, he may have
finally decided to move on - thus in his mind, this
woman was "dead". This would explain why he
tosses the ring at her "grave". The ring symbolized
his love for her - a love that had ended.

So you could have the interpretation that somehow
this woman did die and thus the "height-challenged"
man felt like dying because or you can have
the interpretation that no one physically died, only
their love did.

That's it and that's all.

Ciao,

John
