A Plea for Unity

In Meet Me Halfway By the Black-Eyed Peas

Main Idea
(Thesis)

The video clip portrays a need for balance between the technologically advanced beings and the natural world This can be seen through the scenes of blending / longing in the clip

The

female character in this clip is portrayed as a forest dweller who is reaching out to the men. Her presence in the forest suggests that she may portray mother nature

In

addition to the embodiment of mother nature, we can see a man riding an elephant with a GPS

Another

example that shows that the video clip is about unity can be seen in this scene: This Characters Expression shows an admiration for the sun, even though he cannot touch it.

While

the man (technologically advanced astronaut) reaches out, the woman also reaches out towards the sky.

Looks

like the sun

Mother

nature sheds a tear before the ending shows how all three unite on earth, calling for the balance to exist

In Conclusion
Although

the lyrics can portray the idea of love and compromise, the producer does a great job at portraying the idea of a need for unity between the technologically advanced men and the nature-woman. Even the title suggests this idea.
