Since so many are confused let me explain. The story begins with the youngest girl in this video, she's young and in love. Her father has died and the love of her life asks her to leave, it shows what would happen if she would have left (which is ultimately fall deeper in love, explore, get married, and essentially live a happy fulfilled life.). However in reality she doesn't leave with her true love, instead she stays and he leaves, skipping over to the song Angela (the middle age women) she is now pregnant with another mans child and is living an unhappy life, she decides to leave one night, which ends in her and her new man getting a divorce, now onto Cleopatra (the woman driving the taxi) she is older now and drives the taxi for fun and sees many people that remind her of her and her love. She visits with the song she gave birth too and states that god gave her two blessing, birth and a divorce, now onto the 4th and final song, she is way older now and is now in a nursing home, she explains to the aids there that she was so amazing when she was young, and since they are a younger generation they don't quite understand, so they just shrug it off. She has a collection of the love of her life's pictures and she regrets not going with him, she knows she is going to die in the nursing home, old and alone. The what if moment comes when she decides to leave the nursing home. The end. Ultimately this ballad is a lesson about choices, regrets, and life. She regrets not leaving with her soulmate which in turn leads to her living a depressing life, in which the only blessing are birth and a divorce. You're very welcome.

Tonzo Wall I understand where you're coming from, I've seen the comment a lot, in the the end it's up too you to interpret the visuals and the music in whatever way you feel you need too. I came to the video and still saw people confused about the entire ballad, so I decided to help them a bit.

[@idah8063]

"She was Cleopatra - Maybe she was a young girl whose parents got divorced. And maybe she was raised by her mother alone. Or maybe she stayed with her father, until one day he passed away. Then maybe she ran off with her one true love. Or maybe she decided to stay and never leave. So maybe one day she settled for a man she never loved. But then maybe she decided one night to leave with her child, just like her mother. Maybe when her son had grown into a man, she decided to go back to her husband. Then again, maybe she chose to stay alone, waiting for her one true love to return. And maybe he never does. And maybe someday she will settle for some help, in her old age. But strong as always, maybe she will decide to leave everything one last time, and face the end on her own terms..." from Isaac Ravishankara. I love how all of this is linked to Stubborn Love.

My girlfriend's household is not a happy one. She jokes about how she wants to run away and never come back. But I know that there is truth behind her joke. I showed her the video, Sleep on the Floor, and told her that we can run away together. Ever since that night, she and I tried to piece these videos together. It taught us to not make the mistake that Cleopatra made. To take the chance to be with your true love. For if we don’t take this chance, we may not ever have a second one. And even if it doesn’t work out between us, then it is better to have loved and lost, than to never have loved at all. As of tomorrow, we have been dating for an entire year, and we both appreciate this ballad. Thank you illuminating our lives.

[@joshrozario5667]

Ophelia Meaning : The film opens with “Ophelia.” This is really one of the only parts of the film in which The Lumineers actually appear. It’s a way for them to introduce the ballad, with a song they hold close to their hearts. “Ophelia” deals with the success, expectations, and pressure the band has gone through since rising to fame, which is why this song means so much to them. I, I got a little paycheck You got big plans and you gotta move (whoo!) And I don’t feel nothing at all And you can’t feel nothing small “Ophelia” is a constant reminder for The Lumineers. It allows them to take a step back and appreciate all that has happened to them, and that’s exactly what the video depicts. The band is playing the song for a crowd when lead singer, Wesley Shultz, steps out of his own body and removes himself from the chaos of his current life; just as the meaning of the song depicts. He exits the building and begins to dance along the street to the beat of the music. The song continues as he pleasantly strides along. As the music of Ophelia fades out, transitional notes fall in, eventually leading Shultz into the taxicab, of one, Cleopatra. They share a conversation unheard to our ears, and thus, the story begins. Cleopatra Meaning Shultz exits the car and “Cleopatra” the song begins as Cleopatra, the driver, waits for her next passenger. The “Cleopatra” portion of the ballad follows the beautiful taxi driver with wild gray hair and eyes full of wisdom, through her shift. As she drives along the busy streets you are able to see that she is reminiscing. She is reminiscing on the “what ifs” that life inevitably brings you. It’s not so much about regret, as it is about thinking about the path you took in life, and realizing that for whatever reason, it was the path you needed to take. I was Cleopatra, I was young and an actress When you knelt by my mattress, and asked for my hand But I was sad you asked it, as I laid in a black dress With my father in a casket, I had no plans And I left the footprints, the mud stained on the carpet And it hardened like my heart did when you left town But I must admit it, that I would marry you in an instant Damn your wife, I’d be your mistress just to have you around Casts of characters enter in and out of the cab, some familiar and some not, some metaphorical and some literal. Each character has a different story, and each taken in by our seasoned Cleopatra. So I drive a taxi, and the traffic distracts me From the strangers in my backseat, they remind me of you But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I’ll be on time Eventually she turns the meter off, and picks up her adult son from the airport, who enters the front seat with a wide-eyed smile and a grand hug. They drive until dusk. They stop to enjoy burgers with full smiles and genuine laughs before night falls and she must take him to his father. The song comes to a close as she drops her son off to his father’s home, and that’s when the first “what if” of the ballad, a theme that reoccurs throughout, happens. Cleopatra imagines going in to make amends with the father so they can enjoy their son’s stay together, as a family. However, instead she turns around, gets in her car, and drives away. And the only gifts from my Lord were a birth and a divorce But I’ve read this script and the costume fits, so I’ll play my part She drives. Her face is sullen and soft. A smooth transition begins as Cleopatra transforms into a much younger version of herself, driving away from something else, with the same soft and sullen look upon her face. What comes next is the beginning for Cleopatra, the beginning of the “What Ifs.” Sleep on the Floor Meaning Peaceful piano track “Patience” plays as we see the youngest version of Cleopatra sad and transfixed, staring deeply into her boyfriend’s eyes, standing at her father’s funeral. As the keys of the piano put you at ease, everything moves in slow motion. The boy slowly approaches her and whispers, “If you don’t leave now you may never make it out.” With that, “Sleep On The Floor” begins, and Cleopatra imagines what could have been if she left with the love of her life on that very day. Pack yourself a toothbrush dear Pack yourself a favorite blouse Take a withdrawal slip Take all of your savings out ‘Cause if we don’t leave this town We might never make it out I was not born to drown Baby come on “Sleep On The Floor” takes us on a journey. The young and in love couple drive across the states. They wander in and out of dirty motels, they meet new people, and they find themselves free. Although they have nothing stable or secure - they have each other. And what we come to find, is that is quite literally all that they need. They eventually marry, happy as ever, and dance into the night. As they lay down to sleep on their wedding night “Sleep On The Floor” comes to a close. The young Cleopatra locks eyes with the camera before the scene shifts out of the “what if” scenario and into reality. She’s now back in her car, just as we saw her before the song began, with that soft and sullen look on her face. She looks in the rearview, only for a second, and then continues to drive on, always moving forward. Angela Meanign “Angela” begins with Cleopatra slightly older and pregnant. She’s in bed with her husband, safe and secure in a nice home. However, it’s easy to tell she does not want to be there. At this point in the ballad you know who the Cleopatra character is, or at least who she wants to be. She’s “taller than the rafters.” Life has gotten in the way of who she wanted to become, but that still doesn’t change who she is at her core. And so, as the guitar plucks of “Angela” continue, we see the older, pregnant Cleopatra leave her body, and begin to imagine what life would be like, if she left him when she wanted to. When you left this town, with your windows down And the wilderness inside Let the exits pass, all the tar and glass ‘Til the road and sky align The strangers in this town, They raise you up just to cut you down Oh Angela it’s a long time coming And your Volvo lights lit up green and white With the cities on the signs But you held your course to some distant war In the corners of your mind She’s back to driving, back where she always seems to be - on the open road, on her own, moving forward. But this time the look on her face is not soft or sullen. It’s determined. Determined to hold her course. She drives far and wide until she reaches a motel. She gets out of the car, looks to the sky, and for the first time in the ballad she expresses joy, celebration, and finally, peace. The “Angela” video takes us on the journey of the heart and soul that is the Cleopatra character - following your gut and your heart to its wits end. My Eyes MEaning “My Eyes” is the bow that ties the story of this legend together. She’s older now; older than she was when we first met her in the taxi. She’s in a nursing home, sharing stories with the nurse, and waiting for her time to end. Oh, the devil’s inside You opened the door You gave him a ride Too young to know, too old to admit That you couldn’t see how it ends What did you do to my eyes What did you sing to that lonely child Promised it all but you lied You better slow down baby soon It’s all or nothing to you Before it ends, we see Cleopatra shift out of her body one last time, to make the move we know she wants to make. She walks down the empty halls, out of the nursing home door, and into the abyss. “The Ballad Of Cleopatra” spreads the wisdom of this character onto those who view it. She shows you to be strong and to stay true to yourself. She shows you that you may not end up exactly where you thought you would. And she shows you that even if you don’t become who you thought you would be - it doesn’t matter, becuase in the end, the only thing that really matters in your life are the people you could never and would never want to life without. So choose those people, and hold on to them tight. I won’t be late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I’ll be on time

A Security guard was going to take us out of the place and suddenly an Argentinian guy gave us Two tickets to enter the show. It was magic.

I always wanted this story of Cleopatra in a single video and here it is now... I am so overwhelmed. Thank you Lumineers for such a lovely story and videos. Love from India :)

[@TheCurtainLift]

Shalini Singh I'm new here, can someone explain briefly

[@shalinisingh6403]

Hi Evan, the story resides in these songs: "Sleep on the Floor", "Angela", "Cleopatra, "Ophelia". "Sleep on the floor ": After her father's death girl is asked by guy to leave town, but she didn't and ends up bearing a child to another guy and of course has regrets which is quite evident in the song "Angela".In "Cleopatra", she's the taxi driver (proof: the same wave tattoo on arm and scar on cheek) and is "divorced" ("Cleopatra" lyrics) (also, the end shows how she didn't enter the house of her ex-husband along with her son) ("Ophelia" lyrics: "got a little paycheck, you gotta move"). Like the Ophelia character in Shakespeare's "Hamlet", the story's about a girl and choices and 'what if's of two worlds (there's always a splitting scene of one's self in all four videos). So, in short a story of girl and different life choices she made which has led her to the life she is living right now and have regrets for the same. Hope this makes things little clear... :)

[@TheCurtainLift]

[@TheCerebro316]

Brilliant explanation Shalini. I have followed the videos and had similar interpretations. You have put the words out of my mind. More creatively than I would have. ;)

[@ilsxnvt.8434]

Well, here is a story. I lived in Austria for six months and everytime I called the taxi, this old woman picked me up. The woman was 69 years old and she was really awesome. She always told me about life and about the decisions you have to make and that life can be very hard. I really liked the love she had for nature and animals. When it was night and I needed her, we always stopped on the mountain to look for deers or foxes. I asked her why she was a taxi driver and she told me that she liked the stories of the people in her taxi, and she also liked the youth. Everytime when the taxi was full of youth she said: ''I wish that I was young again.''. This lady was so nice and somehow she didn't had a family. She never really talked about it, everything she always told me was that she was happy that she divorced many years ago. I don't know if she had children but I really hope she does. I knew the song Cleopatra before I met her and in my head she really was Cleopatra. But I hope so much that she doesn't end alone because no one deserves that.

I remember in January, I listened to the album first time fully. It was about midnight on a Sunday and it had poured with rain. My grandfather had been admitted to hospital, for he was seriously unwell with an issue with his pacemaker. I listened to "My Eyes", there was just something about it which screamed, "You need this". The next day, my grandfather died. He had a tragic life, similars to this Cleopatra's. He never found proper love until the very end of his life and was an artist until he divorced my grandma when he had to do courier work. It just makes me love this album, even more, thinking that this is what sent him off. Miss you, always will.

I think the character that stood out to me the most was the young man with the teardrop tattoo who looks like he's just left prison. In a short time, he looks so anxious in the back of Cleopatra's cab, but then later on we see him as an aged carer, spending the night with her in her final moments. It's beautiful that in just a few short scenes, he can embody such a powerful and inspiring change of life, and I for one respect anybody out there who tries to build a new life after experiencing extreme hardships.

I don't doubt you won't ever see this, but this album and short film have actively made a positive change in my life. A week ago while not exactly sober and thinking about a lost friendship I listened to all these tracks again. I decided to text her, to let her know I missed her and that I was glad to have been her friend. I woke that morning to a text telling me she felt that way, too, and we met up and hung out today, a week later. Music about taking chances and living with the regrets of not making them made me change my life for the better. Thank you.

[@jessicajae7777]

That is a very different post and honest and made me so happy for two people ill never know. my best friend of 21 years died. now i know letting our random boyfriends seperate us all the time was maybe something we should have not so easily caved to, to please them. they were all threatened by our closeness. one said it was like he disappeared when she was around. and yea i guess he did, everyone did. we could entertain and amuse ourselves endlessly just talking and laughing. we had been told a lot that if you closed your eyes you couldnt tell our laughs apart. we both laugh very weird and loud but strange like i even do this little fake laugh in conversations. i dont know why i do it. but she would mock me. lol no one else would dare. but she could say or do anything. she was my Sara. she was my person. i never knew a better person besides my husband. those two loved me unconditionally. and i them. now its just me. and i hope i hope i hope that we will consciously see eachother again. im so happy for you. some friendships are priceless. im so happy for your story. you made my day.

This isn't Hollywood, not some mush filled romance novel.. it's real. And because of that it is so much more powerful, so true and genuine. But if you let that person go, you will survive, you will go forward. That's it.. Forward..Your choices matter.

There’s something so raw and haunting about Cleopatra. The way it tells a story of love, regret, and resilience feels deeply personal, yet universally relatable. The stripped-down sound and poignant lyrics make you reflect on your own choices and the moments that shape who we are. It’s a masterpiece of storytelling and emotion-The Lumineers at their finest.

Sleep on the Floor is the greatest music video of the past 10 years. It starts in 4:3 ratio or what an old box TV is. Then when Cleopatra doesn't leave but her boyfriend does it goes to 16:9 or what a modern TV is. That is the whole dream of what could have happened. Then it returns to 4:3 when we are back in her true reality.

Strangers in this town, They raise you up just to cut you down Oh Angela it's a long time coming Oh Angela spent your whole life running away Home at last Home at last Vacancy, hotel room, lost in me, lost in you Angela, on my knees, I belong, I believe Home at last Home at last Home at last Home at last Home at last, hmm "My Eyes" Lyrics Oh, the devil's inside You opened the door You gave him a ride Too young to know, too old to admit That you couldn't see how it ends What did you do to my eyes What did you sing to that lonely child Promised it all but you lied You better slow down baby soon It's all or nothing to you The glow of Hollywood signs They sold you a bridge They fed you the lines You always confused your servants for friends But you couldn't see how it ends It's all or nothing to you What did you do to my eyes What did you say to my only child Promised your love but you lied You better slow down baby soon It's all or nothing to you What did you do to my eyes What did you sing to that lonely child Promised it all but you lied You better slow down baby soon

This is how I like to see this story: In "Stubborn Love" Cleopatra is separated from her dad. Then, in "Dots and Dashes" (by Silversun Pickups, in that music video the actress is Elise Eberle, the same who plays Cleopatra at 25) Cleopatra is a teenager who meets her first love. Later, in "Sleep on the Floor", the love of her life asks her to marry him, but she rejects because her father just died. However, she imagines all that she would love to do with him, like driving all day. In "Angela", Cleopatra is with another man and pregnant but she knows that she'll never be happy with him. Then, in "Cleopatra" she has divorced and became a taxi driver because all that traffic reminds her of the love of her life. Finally, in "My Eyes", Cleopatra ends alone. I know that one of that songs isn't of The Lumineers but I think that it fits in the story. PD: I'm sorry if I wrote something wrong, I'm not a native speaker and I never practice English.

I need to stop watching this because It just fills me with deep sadness to the point where I have to pause and stop my crying.

[@khandokernuzhatrafaislam3516]

I cry almost every time I listen to this, no matter what I am doing. The context, the story, the emotions, acting- nothing, nothing could be any better than this.
