Dave Grohl from Foo Fighters is in his car stuck in traffic and is looking around. He sees lots of car bumper stickers and shows signs of disgust and annoyance when he sees them.
The ideology behind it in this scene shows some disapproval of the leadership and political aspect of Bush.
Whilst still stuck in traffic, a child in a car with a bumper stick saying "Coexist" (shown earlier) is swearing at Dave Grohl and at this he raises his eyebrow, sighs and looks away.
The narrative of the MV is of D Grohl beign annoyed at everything as he is stuck in one place in traffic.
He then abandons his car and leaves with only his guitar. He tries calling someone on the phone,
at the same time the lyrics are
"A million miles a way, you signal in the distance"
at the same time his phone battery is dead and he chucks it over the bridge.
After throwing away hi phone, he tries using a phone box but inside the phone is removed and replaced by an advert for a monthly pay as you go mobile phone. Again he becomes annoyed and pushed the phone box onto the floor.
The narrative so far shows his annoyance with everything. In this scene he orders food from a fastfood place and shows his disappointment in with the quality of the food and that it does not match the description of the picture on the display.
The lyrics dont match the video entirely. "Learning to walk again" does fit in with the scenes of Dave walking and looking around and being annoyed with thing, but other than that it shows a lighter, humorous side of the way society is and the way it is being led.
But as many Foo Fighters music videos, they are funny and dont fit the song entirely, but do take in some things and they also show a different meaning in the video.
