Download the M4V
It's meant to trace the character's development over the course of the series. Not much in the way of heavy metaphor here, and what's there is about as subtle as a punch in the nose. The opening line should tell you all you need to know about the theme of the vid. The rest is just expounding on that.
The idea for this one invaded my mind back when Fool For Love originally aired (along with many of the images you see here), but I only recently got the ability to vid so it's been gnawing at me for years. I feared tackling it because I knew what a massive job it would be in terms of number of clips and organization... but I knew I had to do it eventually so it would shut up and leave me alone. Had some compression issues, so I had to jump through hoops to get some smallish versions to post online (and I ain't nimble); so I apologize for any rough spots.
Does anyone here really want to hear me whine about the trials of moving to a new fandom, using new software, and a new vidding process? Show of hands? Right, I'll skip that and move on to the lyrics.
Lyrics:
Bullet With Butterfly Wings - Smashing Pumpkins, Melon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
The world is a vampire sent to drain
Secret destroyers hold you up to the flames
And what do I get for my pain?
Betrayed desires and a piece of the game
Even though I know I suppose I'll show
All my cool and cold like old Job
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Now I'm naked, nothing but an animal
But can you fake it for just one more show?
And what do you want? I want to change
And what have you got when you feel the same?
Tell me I'm the only one, tell me there's no other one
Jesus was an only son
Tell me I'm the chosen one
Jesus was an only son for you
And I still believe that I cannot be saved
Hope you enjoy the vid. Please share your thoughts.
