As quiet as it is tonight
You'd almost think you were saved
Your eyes are full of surprises
They cannot predict my fate
Waiting underneath the stars
There's something you should know
The angels they surround my heart
Telling me to let you go

I bet he couldn't
I bet he couldn't recognize but I played right into it
Who am I to criticize
Somehow I'll get through it and you won't even realize
Falling through your own disguise

It's like over and over you're pushing me
Right down to the floor
I should just walk away
Over and over I keep on coming back for more
I play into your fantasy
Now that it's over
You can lie to me right through your smile
I've seen behind your eyes
Now I'm sober, no more intoxicating my mind

Even the devil wouldn't recognize you, I do
I do, I do.


I loved the blippy bits at the end of the song and wanted to build a vid around that. Also wanted something that expressed the shadow twin concept of Sherlock and Moriarty, particularly in this incarnation that is further muddied by “Irene”.

I had this idea of paying homage to lolachrome’s Games. I’d also always wanted to incorporate Turner paintings into a vid, and since Sherlock and Irene met under the pretence of authenticating a Turner, it all made some sort of sense in my head. And as always, the way the vid turned out was a lot less experimental than what I had envisioned, and there is no Turner to be seen because I couldn’t get it to look remotely like what I thought it was going to look like. I did manage to learn a couple more effects in Vegas, though, so not a total loss. :D
