Little lion man is a 'As Live' performance where the band is playing on a stage to an empty room. This may have been done to suggest to the audience that they feel alone or an emptiness within their lives. The style of the music video is shown through the use of lyrics interpretation. This allows the audience to interpret their own meaning about the song. Some people think the song is about a person who has made a choice or choices that ended up really affecting or hurting some one they cared about. "it was not your choice but mine and was your heart on the line". The lyrics "was your heart on the line" may also reference to someone being heartbroken.
The pace of the music is matched by the pace of the video, the faster the music becomes the faster the pace of the video is, as if they are in sync together. When there is close ups of the band members faces or when they are playing their instruments it is in a low key lighting, whereas when the band is stood in a long shot it is filmed in high key lighting. This may have been done to show the audience that in a low key lighting it is most when they feel alone but when in high key lighting they feel not as alone as they are stood with people they know - almost showing a contrast between happy and sad.
This is a screen shot referencing to the point about the close up of the band member's face - Low key lighting representing - dark, alone, sad etc
This is a screen shot referencing to the point about the long shot of the band members playing their instruments - High key lighting representing - Bright, Happy etc
