You are forgiven for your minds lack of vulnerability. But I understand the simple, seemingly primal, enjoyment one gets by comparing beliefs, so here goes. When it comes to the peeling wall one can be drawn off track, for there are many possible routes one can take. So in order to fully understand it you must be precise when watching the sequence. First off, the being probing (sodomizing) the child's broken face replaces the hole with.... a fragment of the peeling wall. So what you need to ask now is what does the wall represent? Well the entire video takes place within these four walls so it leaves us with one important question. Is the child a prisoner in the black figures world? Or. Is the black figure an invader? When a human being is molested in any form; mentally, spriritually or physically it hides within it's own mind, putting up a mental barrier (walls!) in order to seperate it's body from it's mind. So in effect the shadowy being (invader) uses this wall, put up by the child, against the child by repairing it's wound (the cracked hole) with a piece of it's own mental barrier. It's own reality. Futher condemning the child to it's own way of life, in essence transforming (the caterpillar) the child's own beliefs of what is considerd right and wrong. This happens when the child paints itself near the end. But I digress somewhat, so there you have it.
