The painting showed somewhat of a afterlife versus life right now. I don't see that much here.

Modern civilization has devolved to this? The people depicted in the video don't come close to approximating the School of Athens and there sure as heck are no Aristotle's in the crowd.

If only I could rightfully disagree, but I don't know enough about the referenced painting. I like the song though. I didn't know anything about the painting until I saw it in the video comments.

MSgt James Mullis - According to the video in this thread, it meant a lot more and was actually part of a much larger body of work:
