It's a good video, but the concept doesn't really make much sense to me, apart from all of the watching the band through the telescope/binoculors thing, could link to the obsessive nature of a crush? *boffin mode*

yeah i agree, i didn't really get the concept accept for maybe the binoculors thing. i was watching it with my sister and she asked if those guys were pirates lol. i didn't get who they were...

 

but anyway i thought it was awesome!! i loved the feeling of the video... and hayley's hair looked great :D

 

even though i didn't quite get the concept, this is one of my favorite paramore videos :P

So, I've seen a few posts on this and people wondering what the video is about and all, so I thought I'd throw my thoughts/interpretation out there. Feel free to agree or disagree...I posted this over in the LJ too...

 

The scene: A band, far out in the middle of the desert. As far away as they can get from any form of civilization - no other living things around for miles. Except, of course, there are...looking on, through the window, from afar through telescopes...watching...

 

You can read it a number of ways, but I think the video is about obsessiveness and its dark side (as is the song, imo.) When I first heard the song, I thought it was about an obsessive crush - a "relationship", so to speak, gone wrong - to the point where it takes over your life and thoughts.

 

But with the video - I think there's another way you can interpret the song and I think the video steps back and plays the obsessiveness theme a different way - it looks at the obsessiveness of those around the band. The media, the press, the hangers-on - maybe even the fans. All of them, constantly watching, constantly "scribbling out the truth with their lies" (the Kerrang! article), speaking for the band or even thinking/pretending to BE the band - when the "spies"/"watchers" at the end take the band's place (how many fake myspaces are there out there now for Hayley?)

 

People so obsessed that, even far out in the desert, where all the band is doing is trying to play the songs they love, they still get tracked down and found.

 

idk...agree? disagree?

 

btw, I love the video :)
