First 30 seconds analised;
The start of the song shows the lead singer (David Ghrol) singing into the microphone, it uses a extreme close up as you can only see his mouth for the first 15seconds, after each sentance he retracts his face to show the white background. The vocals are slowly increased as the song reaches it first chours. When the camera pulls out it shows the band playing in a open desert, the majority of these shots are fast cuts used to keep the song theme continutng. The video also contains various images that flash up of the world, in particular destruction (tide running toward the camera) love (woman in her bed) and growth (flower blooming) these all tie into the song lyrics.
The song lyrics are as follows;
I've got another confession to make
I'm your fool
Everyone's got their chains to break
Holdin' you
Were you born to resist or be abused?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Are you gone and onto someone new?
I needed somewhere to hang my head
Without your noose
You gave me something that I didn't have
But had no use
I was too weak to give in
Too strong to lose
My heart is under arrest again
But I break loose
My head is giving me life or death
But I can't choose
I swear I'll never give in
I refuse
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
You trust, you must
Confess
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Oh...
Oh...Oh...Oh...Oh...
Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
The life, the love
You die to heal
The hope that starts
The broken hearts
You trust, you must
Confess
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
I've got another confession my friend
I'm no fool
I'm getting tired of starting again
Somewhere new
Were you born to resist or be abused?
I swear I'll never give in
I refuse
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
You trust, you must
Confess
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Oh...
The lyrics them self are hard to interperate, but i think that they are telling a story. Of someone who has been ether emotionally or physically battered in a relationship, leaving the one who did this to them and how they are trying to cope. This would bring the music videos short clips such as the destruction shown could symbolize the destruction of your confidence after a breakup and the growth shown shortly after each shot is how life continues and how you grow as a character because of it. The main point of the song is how you cant let people beat you into submission during a relationship.
Album Poster;
This poster shows a stark contrast in colours, the black and gold help to provide a eye catching display. The bold use of the lines which point towards the center of the image also help to gather the eyes towards the middle of the poster. The title of the album and band are clearly displayed in a contrast ink to help gain visablity and then a critics score has been posted underneath.
Album cover;
The album cover is a stark contrast to the poster, a different use of contrast is used in this one as the poster contains a black/gold mix, this one contains a white/gold mix. It displays the same information as the poster and even includes the same banner in which the title of the band and album name reside. the only difference is the fact that a long robe has been placed behind the album and a flower motif situated above.
