Below I copied the lyrics from my song I will use, in addition to writing a little bit about what I think the lyrics wants to convey and the meaning I want to give it.
[Intro] "C’est l’histoire d’un homme qui tombe d’un immeuble de cinquante étages. Le mec, au fur et à mesure de sa chute se répète sans cesse pour se rassurer : jusqu’ici tout va bien, jusqu’ici tout va bien, jusqu’ici tout va bien Mais l'important n’est pas la chute, c’est l’atterrissage." This part in French says: “this is the story of a man who falls from a 50 story building. On his way down past each floor, he keeps telling himself "so far, so good, so far, so good”. But the fall doesn’t matter. The landing does.“ What I understand by this quote is the way many of us go through life, unaware of the fact that we're free-falling into a pit of negative emotions and we pretend that we're not going to crash one say, or we're simply unconscious of our ourselves. The way this applies to my music video is how the boy, being seduced by the girl, thinks that there is nothing wrong going on, and that the relationship of the two is based on love, while it's not, it's constructed on the need for power and manipulation. He keeps 'falling' but he doesn't realise what will soon come. The 'crash' is represented by the scene where the girl breaks plates and has something similar to a mental breakdown, reminding the audience that outer negativity comes from inner negativity. [Verse] A siren is circling 'round sailor boy Her silence is rippling after Before he kissed her to stay wide awake Forgived her, please stay away The first line of this verse made me think of the way women can manipulate the men around them, 'circling' around them and getting what they want. I will present this concept by one of my girl actors walking slowly around a boy, him mesmerised and paralysed by her beauty and power. Ss the lyrics say, 'Her silence is rippling', the girl doesn't talk as she doesn't need to, her energy works for her. Then, following the lyrics, the boy kisses the girl, to satisfy his unbearable urge. [Pre-Chorus] He knows, he knows, he knows He knows, he knows, he knows He knows, he knows, he knows He knows Now, here the boy sort of 'knows' that he is being manipulated by his partner, but the repetition emphasises the fact that he's trying to convince himself that he does know what is true and what is not, while at the same time not being fully confident in himself. [Chorus] I said "hey, hey Oh, what a ship we sail!" We kissed our death to will There's no one left to take, to take This part is sort of tricky to analyse, but what I think it means is the 'ship' that they 'sail' in the relationship that they're trying to work out through difficult times. I said "hey, hey We're born to recreate" Sinful creature then The symbol of recreation is a pre-eminent one when talking about femininity, as females have to power to figuratively and literally create life. The way I show this in my video is by the communion of the girl and boy, and at the bathtub scene, where the girl breathes life into the four elements of the world: water, air, fire, earth. [Bridge] Away, away, away, away, away Away, away, away, away, away Away, away, away, away, away Away, away... This part pays an important role in my video, as it represents the constant worries and thoughts that go on daily in our heads, as a broken record, playing the same song on an on. On this part, I will mostly introduce shots of the 'negative' side of the female energy, with a few shots of the positive side, as the bridge takes up a quite long time from the song and I don't want it to be exaggeratedly repetitive and tiring. [Chorus] I said "hey, hey Oh, what a ship we sail!" We kissed our death to will There's no one left to take, to take I said "hey, hey We're born to recreate" Sinful creature then Away, away, away, away, away, away...
