A few thoughts to expand on your kickass interpretation...

The beginning has a man and a woman, both grey, nasty, dirty etc. They seem to need something all the time whether its their TV or that huge thing they keep putting up to their face. I think this is what is making these people like this, whats holding them back.

I see it as a metaphor for technology/machines/entertainment/the mass media. And shit. Yeah. Deep, man.

The guy then rips a piece of his shoulder off. Im not sure what this represents.

It's a growth of some kind. He doesn't just rip it off. He puts it in a jar, which then gathers dust. Later you see the woman walking along a corridoor carrying the jar. She drops it.
Notice that at the end of the video, the man has let the growth thing, uh, grow, and it's now speaking to him.
My thought is that it represents self-identity (he keeps cutting it off and chooses instead to watch TV. Which is great.).
My favourite part of the video, personally, is during the build-up where the woman is emerging from her chyrsallis and the following scene which plays during the guitar solo.
The bit where the machines "die"/break. There's something there, behind the wires and pipes and shit. What I've always thought was that this was one of those tumours/growth things.
What does it all mean?!!?!!
Something to do with anal sex, probably.
And I will end the post, here, because I have run out of ways to use the slash key.
