Paradise Lost - Song & Lyrics

Lyrics

So watch my chest heave
as this last breath leaves me
I am trying to be
what you're dying to see

I feel like "F**k man,
can't take this, anymore,
this heart, break this."
This is life that's so thankless,
How could he just forsake us?

racist he makes us
hate us he gave us
nothing but no trust
and I am so f**ked up
So let this gun bind us
Lets hide by this lust
and once we are just dust
he'll know that he loved us

LET IT ALL BURN
I will burn first
God ive lied, am I lost in your eyes?

Just let me burn, it's what I deserve.
God of mine, am I lost in your eyes?

So take me and make me
weakened and save me
this hate that you gave me
keeps saying the same thing

to sing when you hurtin'
to sing when you cry
to sing when you livin'
to sing when you die

and here at the end
at the end of the hurt
all the pain ain't the same
when it's your turn to burn
We're the heart for the heartless,
the thoughts for the thoughtless,
the means for the end,
we're the gods of the deadless!

Let it all burn
I will burn first
God ive lied, am I lost in your eyes?

Just let me burn
It's what I deserve
God ive lied, am I lost in your eyes?

So cry 3 tears for me,
burning so good,
sing me this song

So cry 3 tears for me,
burning so good,
burning so good

I can not stand
who i am I'm this man
with this blood on my hands
in this blood I am damned
so watch my wings burn
as they burn in the fire
I'll scatter the ashes
now sing for the choir

Let it all burn,
I will burn first
God of time, am I lost in your eyes?

Just let me burn
it's what I deserve,
God of mine, am I lost in your eyes?

This hate that you gave me keeps saying
Just let me burn,
Just let me burn

This hate that you gave me keeps saying
Just let me burn,
Just let me burn

Burn
NOW
Burn

Just let me burn
NOW
Burn

BURN!

4 Track Ideas

Me and my group had 4 tracks that we were deciding on using for our music videos. These tracks were:

Pretend Your Not Alone - Keane

Paradise Lost - Hollywood Undead

Crush - Pendulum

Human Nation - 89ers

We then produced ideas such as for the Keane one we were thinking of doing a similar video to Fatboy Slims song Weapon of Choice but a tramp dancing down the street slowly become wealthy whilst dancing.

We also thought of an idea for Crush by Pendulum as we imagined the band running down the street away from something and the use of slow motion shots would be used effectively.

However, my group suddenly decided to use the Paradise Lost song for our music video as it included genre that most members of our group are currently into. It has potential to be a great video.

I have analysed this 3oh3! video as it is in the same genre as our chosen song which is indie rock. I have shown different shots used and what's going on in the video and what may be useful in our video.

Music Video Notes

I have researched some music videos that I remember viewing and have kept a memory in my mind. One of the music videos was 'Stop Me' by Mark Ronson. I enjoyed this video as it was a narrative video with a man discovering shoes that had a mind of their own. The video shows this man who is rather chubby at the beginning of the video and near the end become slimmer because of wearing the shoes. The confusion in the characters face looks like he doesn't want the shoes to control him which fits in with the songs title however that is the only link to the song.

I then looked at Elbows 'One Day Like This'. This video included a man listening to music on a street corner whilst holding a sign up for passes by. Through the song he begins to do tricks with the sign in beat to the song. Even though this video is rememberable for me it becomes quite boring throughout as its just the boy throwing the board around for the whole video. It is an abstract video but simple. It also has nothing to do with the song as firstly I felt it may have been how the man was feeling, but listening to the lyrics with the video it doesn't link.

I thirdly listened to 'Hopes And Fears' by Will Young, and this was rememberable because it was different. He was pregnant through the video and experienced all woman hormones whilst going through the pregnancy stage. It was different and unexpected. It also linked with the song as their are many hopes and fears throughout pregnant times. It was a narrative, performance and I believe abstract video and enjoyed it very much.
