Here is what he had to say about their video.

“I’m not sure. All I know is sometimes I’m big, sometimes I’m small, and sometimes I’m really, really tiny. Kind of like how I feel from day to day. And I see a lot of the world in this video, much like I do on our world tour right now. It’s my way of saying “thanks for making me feel bad by accusing me of being a terrorist in Hyde Park this June. I’ll show you. I’ll make your city look like a toy.”
