Bears on a train?

This video is a music video by the band Rise Against for the song Saviour. The music video is opened up as the band performing the song outdoors and the scene changes to what appears to be a person wearing a bear suit sitting on a city bus. The next few scenes show other “animal suits” around a city, they appear to be homeless because they are standing around a garbage can fire. The scenes are constantly switching to the animals at the band all dancing to the music. This video strikes me as very odd in the fact that it does not make any sense to the audience. The lyrics of the song have to do with an old girl friend, not with wild animals in a city. The video is very odd however I believe it has been a success due to its non-mainstream style.
