The song itself refers to the destruction and deaths that occured when Mount Vesuvius erupted in Pompeii (hence the name of the song). The "black clouds that rolled over the hills" and the "darkness from above" refers to the ash that came from the volcano's eruption. "The walls that keep tumbling down", well, the walls on a major street in Pompeii literally did come down. The song talks about how Pompeii is repeatedly being destroyed and injured and how one person copes with it. Hence why in the lyrics it says "How am I to be optimist about this" or something along those lines. Now, the black eyes is a symbolism for all the deaths that occured during the eruption of Pompeii. Many people were killed and the guy running in the music video is trying to run away from it but in the end he stops and just surrenders like how everyone in Pompeii realized that they were all going to die.
Now, there may be many other underlying symbolics and meanings in this video that can be interpreted but, for me, the title of the freaking song kind of gives it away...
