So young, so how were you to know, know, know
You're a carrier, a carrier, of the light inside of you
Glows green in the pitch black night, night, night
Can't tell anyone, anyone, it's hurting you So hold it in, cover up, pull up your sheets, your sheets
A torpedo cruising in the ocean, and soon it's due
So I got to sit up, sit up, oh, up
For my heart to come down, down, down, down, down
So I got to sit up, up, up, up, up
For my heart to come down, down, down, down, down
The ghoulish entities, they come floating through the walls.
Ghostly enemies, they come floating through you door.
And the ghoulish entities they come floating through the wall.
From the past from the past and they'll summon right before you like The Ghost of Christmas Past.
I was always floating around the cit-t-ty.
Going with the flow without ever knowing where I wanna be.
So I got into crazy situa-a-tions.
A loyal soldier who acts who acts who acts. But never asks.
Why am I flying on my back my back?
With the moon looking down, down, down, down, down.
Where's my band? Where's anything at all all?
And why's the ceiling going black, black, black, black, black?
The ghoulish entities they come floating through the walls.
Ghostly enemies they come floating through you door.
And the ghoulish entities they come floating through the wall.
From the past from the past and they'll summon right before you like The Ghost of Christmas Past.
No, that hurts[?] and anything's coming unless you go,
And you can't break the chasing ghosts ghosts ghosts.
So much so. When they come back but never ask.
At your side, at your soul.
When they come back but never ask.
The ghoulish entities they come floating through the walls.
Ghostly enemies they come floating through you doll.
And the ghoulish entities they come floating through the wall.
From the past from the past and they'll summon right before you like The Ghost of Christmas Past.

1) The word young makes me think that I could have a character in the music video that is a young adult or a younger individual. This would mean I could set a narrative around a younger person.
2) The words here talk about the night and how dark it is. This could mean that the setting for my music video could be in a dark location, making it relevant and linking it in with the lyrics. This will make it easy to follow as an audience. Also I could do it in a creepy way, maybe in a woods or forest, where naturally it is very dark.
3) This area also could link in with the scary/creepy theme. This is because I could link the images with the lyrics and could have the young person laying in there bed, acting scared and worried, and then with this you could see them pulling up there covers which is stereotypically seen when someone is scared. Also the lyrics say 'hurting you' so at a later date I could, in images, show the person being either physically or mentally hurt.
4) Talking about ghosts and ghouls which make it sound stereotypically scary. Therefore the continuous theme throughout would be this. At this point, I could start to reveal more to the audience so that they fully understand what has happened and why the young person is mentally hurt. This would be a good narrative because it should mean the audience are interested and intrigued as to what is causing the young person the hurt.
5) At this point, the lyrics 'crazy situation' we could reveal exactly what had caused the mental hurt. The mental illness could be that the young person got physically abused when they were younger and therefore now have nightmares about it.
6) At this point the audience would understand the persons life and therefore understand the narrative. However, to keep it interesting it would then flashback to real life with the young person being asleep and then a cut to a scene where the young persons bedroom door is slowly opening. At this point we see a large black shadow of a man. This will get the audience thinking and the idea behind it is that everything the young person was just having a nightmare about is going to come true. This will add some emotion to the audience.
7) This lyric will link with the man who just come through her bedroom door, the word enemy will link with the man because he is the man who conflicts all the pain on this young person with domestic violence. Therefore as he comes through her bedroom door, he is an enemy to the young person.
8) We flash back to the dream and we see the young person having pain conflicted on them. The lyric no that hurt makes this relevant as the younger is being hurt by the man.
My main idea would revolve around a young person laying in there bed due to being mentally and physically hurt or scared. Due to this they have nightmares and therefore we see the person having a dream in which they re-see all of these previous events that hurt them mentally. By the end, we then go back to real life and reality, where we go back to the young persons bedroom where we have a long shot of the young person asleep in bed. In the background we then see the bedroom door open and we see some light enter, with this we can just about make out a large figure that looks like a man. As this progresses we realise this is the person that conflicts the pain on this young person.
By analysing the lyrics, it allows me to build up some ideas based on the lyrics, which I could then potentially use for my actual music video. By basing my ideas on the lyrics, it makes it easier for the audience who are watching it to understand it, as they can make links between the music and the moving images.
