Being a psychology student, I was taught that no two people can have similar viewpoints on a particular idea or anything that exists in our environment. We all perceive things based on our experiences, knowledge and the biggest criminal MEDIA.
The video for Sia's song Elastic Heart featuring Shia LaBeouf and Maddie Ziegler is branded as Pedophilic, while I consider it as a pure form of ART. Clash of perception you see
Well the following is my interpretation of the song as well as the video
Shia tries to get close to his daughter, but is afraid that he might loose here as well due to his antics.
And I wanted it, I wanted it bad
But there were so many red flags
Now another one bites the dust
Yeah let's be clear, I'll trust no one
He wanted the relationship to work, at least for the sake of their daughter, but well it turned out to be quiet bitter (red flags symbolizing too many dangers).
And now he has come to a conclusion,that he would trust no one.
You did not break me
I'm still fighting for peace
Here You refers to his daughter, for he knows that he should exist for his daughter. He wants to make peace with himself.
In the video Shia is seen carefully army crawling towards his daughter , in order to develop a father-daughter rapport, but as soon as he knows that she is going to bombard him with questions about her mother, Shia is seen running away from. For he knows he cannot face reality.
I've got thick skin and an elastic heart
But your blade it might be too sharp
I'm like a rubberband until you pull too hard
I may snap and I move fast
But you won't see me fall apart
'Cos I've got an elastic heart
Here Thick Skin stands for the fact that he has built his walls too high, that its difficult for anyone to come in but he's got an Elastic Heart and not a heart of Stone.
He might be inhuman and brutal on the exterior but at the cellular level he is very compassionate and gentle.
But Your Blade, It Might Be Too Sharp stating that maybe its his daughter that can find her way through his heart.
In the video Shia is seen climbing through the bars of the cage ,moving towards its center , so high that his daughter is unable to reach him.
And I will stay up through the night
Let's be clear, won't close my eyes
And I know that I can surviveI'll walk through fire to save my life
At this very part of the song, Shia is seen letting go of his grip and falling down over his daughter.
He is willing to hurt himself and go through all the pain, only to understand and love his daughter.
And I want it, I want my life so bad
I'm doing everything I can
Then another one bites the dust
It's hard to lose a chosen one
In the video Shia looks at her ,with his eyes full of love and compassion. He tries to let go of his insecurities and tries to befriend her. She too appears to be comfortable in his company, until the part when she bites his finger, where he feels threatened. But this time he retaliates back at her, causing fights and conflicts.

And Another One Bites The Dust
Oh why can I not conquer love
And I might have thought that we were one
Wanted to fight this war without weapons
Oh why can I not conquer love
And I might have thought that we were one
Wanted to fight this war without weapons
The father played by Shia Lebeouf has yet another failed marriage or a relationship, in which his counterpart has either abandoned him or has encountered death for which he blames himself, leaving behind a beautiful yet notorious daughter played by Maddie Ziegler.
He fails to conquer love (towards his wife) and is hesitant to love his daughter now, thus in the video Shia is seen nervous and having qualms about his daughter.Shia tries to get close to his daughter, but is afraid that he might loose here as well due to his antics.

Witnessing all the conflicts and madness in the house( so called cage) Maddie, leaves it, and is seen teasing Shia, who only gets more and more angry.
Maddie is then seeing entering the cage again, and doing a back flip landing on Shias back which according to me indicates that " I'm you're backbone."
Both of them are then seen enjoying a fun loving father daughter relationship .She fixes the broken pieces of her father, and then lets go of him at the end for she has to fight his struggle on his own.
