Indeed. Just at start () and end (
Our character we follow in the video may be in love with a human, or at least someone. At , we see him trying to touch, then grab the hand of the doll, which quickly change into a white flag. At first, I thought the "I love you" 's repeated in the video were random, I think they aren't. "I love you" may be what the character want to say to this person they like, but cannot. Because they "Can't breathe", something in the social rules, or the rules he is under, prevent him from doing so without breaking the "peace". I think the song overall is centered around the idea of being prevented from expressing oneself. It's about wanting to say what you're thinking, what you're feeling, but you stop yourself from saying them because of the social shackles society put on you. Because you have a "standing" and need to abide by the rules or risk causing problems for yourself or others. Plus, as it was said repeatedly in the comments of this video, the pronunciation of "Non-Breath Oblige" is a play on the term "Nobless Oblige", which ties to not being able to express yourself because you need to maintain standing or appearance.
So, they want to say they love them, but repress themselves, symbolised by the white flag the character is holding at after trying to take the doll hand. I do not quite understand the scene of the theater that follows, but maybe it symbolises the character having somewhat of an important place ? Or an important standing. I think this is why he is the target of some sort of hunt, or violent action towards them. They do not get shot literally, but I think it represents them realizing they are in danger. We then saw them running with leaves blowing around, I think it is literally representing them running in a forest, towards a safe place, the shelter we see then briefly at
But what is the danger ? From what are they running from ? A violent group, most likely. After the first scenes, at , we see an abundance of weapons and humans holding them. I think it represents an increasingly violent society, the one the character is part of. I believe the society the character lives in is suffering from an increase in extremism, more particularly, cultural extremism. This increase in tension between the two groups in the video (Humans and Sheep) is valid on both side. Both side are getting worst as time goes by. At
「壮大な内輪ノリを歴史と呼ぶ」でなんかゾクってした。言葉選びのセンス凄まじい。
, "I want to live but I'm told to die. I want to die but I'm told to live" as the character falls into this colorful void is a representation of the paradox that if you want to exist and express yourself, there will be people who'd wish bad things upon you or agressively react, and yet if you stay silent and hold your breath to maintain appearance and peace there will be people who tell you to express yourself more and would want you to take part.
At , this scene may represents the character stuck between wanting to tell or express his love (The flowers) and not being able (or willing) to talk about it or share it with their special someone (The chair, which may symbolises depression, suicidal thoughts). So the character is in a bad place, which is important because, just after that, we see a wolf staggering, with blood on it's hand, followed by faces of sheep smeared in blood. This could symbolise that this wolf (Probably a human, which are symbolised negatively by the sheep as wolves) was perceived as a source of danger, or that the sheeps had pin their problems on them. Just after that, at
ここで｢幸せ｣を象徴する花束が自殺への弔いの花になるのめちゃくちゃ好き ゾクッとする
ここ幸せの象徴の花から手向けの花に変わるの天才的すぎる
ここ首吊ってるようにも周りに合わせて椅子に乗ったり無理矢理背伸びしてるようにも見えるのすごいすき
. I think we see the wolf staggering forward, followed by it holding it's hand forward, hand that is smeared in blood. Shortly after, we see faces of sheeps smeared in blood too. Then the wolf is laying on the ground, trying to protect itself while it is being surrounded by sheeps, before we see a hand holding a stone, then throwing it.
(And it's really quick, maybe have to slow down the video), we see the wolf on the floor, surrounded by sheeps (Due to their tails), followed by a hand holding a stone and throwing it. I think this scene is important and literal. I think there was a situation where some sheeps stoned a "wolf" because they may have thought that some things were their fault. And I think this "wolf" died in the process. And this was one violent event between the two people too many.
この曲では狼が悪ってなってて、だから、反抗＝悪で…
Anyway, returning at an earlier point in the video, after the stone is thrown, at we see a book getting closed, a mouth and someone with their hands up saying "There are many people in this world who can't breathe." I think those people, increasing in numbers, represent the extremism of humans, being convinced that they must act radically because "They can't breathe", they can't express negativity against the other people, in our case, the sheeps. They oppose themselves radically and violently against this group, believing that they are trying to be supressed, repressed in a way or another by the sheeps.
歌ってみて初めて気付いたんだけど、ここだけ息が吸える場所なんだよね すごすぎる.......

からのチェス、モノポリー(?)、オセロ、ジェンガ、マンカラ、黒ひげ、トランプ全部に意味があるんだろうけどそこまで考察できるほど頭が良くないのでとりあえず米だけ残しとくぜ★
After that scene, at we get glimpses of different kind of games. I think each one is a facet of society, and the struggles within it. First we have chess, with two pawns, one sheep, one human. It may represent opposition of culture. Then we have what I believe is monopoly, so it represents money or propriety, an opposition of riches. After that comes the game of Go, which may represent an opposition of territories, a war of territory. Next comes Jenga, which represent a game of balance, probably representing the difficult and frail balance of society and how you are to be careful for it not to collapse on itself. I do not know the next game after this one and it's potential symbolism sadly. And the last one is a reference to a game called Pop-up Pirate I believe. A game of tension, because you have to put swords in the barrel until one eventually make the pirate pops up. The more you add, the more likely the pirate will pop. Therefore I do believe it to be a representation of tensions, violent ones, in society, that accumulates until one event eventually makes the whole thing blow up with dire consequences. Then, it may mean that the "wolf" we saw being stoned was this event that made everything go "pop" like said, especially because, as cards are thrown in the air, so is one doll, and the dolls without sheep wool in the video may be meant to represent humans.

. At , we see the scapegoat holding his breath, and then we see flashing colors. Indeed, holding his breath a long time makes us see some hallucinations, like this. So, these colors have a sense: the character can't breath, and he is going to hallucinate, and will die soon if nothing help him. It is maybe what happened at

@Dr Pickle Indeed we see the mural at the very start. We see it again at for a very brief time, smeared in blood. I think the scene of the wolf you are referencing starts at around
I am saying this because I think this event is referenced again at (Again, it goes really quick, may have to slow down the video). We see bloody hands smearing the sheep people on the representation we saw at the beginning. At first I thought this was saying the sheep people were attacked, but after looking around a bit, I think it represents bloodlust. Bloodlust seeping into the sheeps, against the wolves. We then see a stone cut in half, to show the colors inside. I have no idea of the meaning of this. We see then stones on display, probably for selling them. But for what ? The next image is a bit dreadful. We see a figure hanged by their feet on a what looks like something made for an execution. We see sheep people around, so we may assume this figure is a human. The words "Sympathy, envy, jealousy and resentment" are an evolution of feelings, that grows increasingly negative which may indicate the evolution of the feelings of the character. One of my friend said that apparently, when someone is getting stoned as an execution, they sometimes get hanged by their feet ? I do not know if that's true.
あたりがすごくBLEACHの鬼道っぽく聞こえるリズムしてる
But what about our main character ? We see them at with "Black tears falling down". I believe that the character participated in this cruel event, due to their frustration and "ugly emotions", but immeditaly had regrets about the deed they had done. Since they let out their "Ugly emotions" they became "Snow White Birds". I think that's meant to say they saw the ugliness of actively participating in the increase of tension and violence, and that by expressing themselves in this wrong way, they felt at first relief of those emotions getting out, but regret realizing the horror of releasing it this way. Lastly, at
…曲も作画も神だけど、ここすっごい
「真っ白い鳥になるんだな」でミクさんの声が一瞬透き通るの好き
, "Swimming with deep sea fish, below the freezing point" and "Looking up at the stars" can represent the path they took and where they ended up, that they saw and were at the lowest point, with a cold heart, and then immeditaly went up to see the "Stars", understanding the errors of this way, maybe.

I think that the song is more about showing what people don't talk about. Like social rules that everyone knows but never mention. At , "for the sake of our convenience... We obligate ourselves to hold our breath". In fact, at the end the character finally breathes only when he's in a "bomb shelter with you". Meaning that we don't have to hold up our barriers/politeness/breath when we're with someone who is dear to us. After all, when we're nervous or hoping for something we hold our breaths.
