The Manhog appears to be the incarnation of the cartoon character Frank created by Jim Woodring. He probably represents slothfulness - one of the human issues that Jose explores in his album "In Our Nature". This thought provoking song video will have most people rewatching to get the deep message from it, but it is no way boring. It's interesting that the director Andreas Nilsson composed the entire video with only one character along with flashes of Jose strumming and singing and nonetheless make a substantial production. As we see, this Manhog is quite lonely and depressed even though having some level of financial substance. He writes with his finger "Ella" on the fogged glass of the car window, which in Spanish means "Her". The video has a number of clues, and you may even realise that Manhog repeats actions. Does this have to do with "doing the same mistake twice"?

Lyrics:
I see problems down the line
I know that I'm right.
There was a dirt upon your hands
doing the same mistake twice
making the same mistake twice
Come on over and be so caught up
its not about compromising.
I see problems down the line
I know that I'm right
I see darkness down the line
I know its hard to fight.
There was a dirt upon your hands
doing the same mistake twice
making the same mistake twice.
Come on over
be so caught up its all about compromise.
I see problems down the line
I know that I'm right.
Don't let the darkness eat you up (8x)'
