You're Welcome! :) I am happy you found stuff you didn't see yet.
I am usually not overly annoyed if a vidder tries to illustrate lyrics literally, except if it seriously interferes with the flow of a video. But I really appreciate if someone uses the metaphors that a song provides to give the clips a deeper meaning. In the end I love it most if a creative examination of the show (may it be fanart, fanvid or fanfiction) leads to more insight into its symbolisms and SN utilizes a lot of parallels and metaphors, uses shadowing, mirroring and similar techniques.
I totally agree with you on 'God Decides'. I do love the vid, the song is absolutely amazing and the vidder shows that he can put metaphors into a stunning context and when he falls flat in some instances it just annoys you so much because this vid could be fantastic on all levels, if the vidder would have managed to keep the quality throughout the vid.
