Do you need thought bubbles coming out of Ayu's head to understand that the dance with Midoring is a dream sequence?
I guess not many people appreciate subtlety around here...You probably like your "hidden" messages to be as clear as in the "Endless sorrow" or "alterna" PVs.

You completely hit the nail on the head.
Okay, look at the lyrics and the PV. It makes perfect sense.

The brilliant trees standing in the cool air
Are losing the colors as if hiding themselves
(People have to hide their true love for eachother because of sexual preference or because of how they feel about one another?)
Just like me who is afraid of the warmth
Keeping myself away from anything leading to hope
(Hope that society would change and come to accept people for how they are.)
I wonder why it's difficult for us
To walk as we wish
(Why is it difficult for people to be themselves instead of having to hide how they really feel?)
Actually I've always
Realized for sure
(She's always known about how cruel society can be)
But I turned my eyes from the reality
And denied the truth
(Denied it because it was too hard to accept)
When the trees come into bud again
And the leaves are freshly green
I want him to see my smile
More natural than now
(She'll be happy that things have changed and be able to show her love a true smile?)

Just some obvious things. I really liked the PV. I watched it twice and still got goosebumps when she was dancing with Midoring.
