Lyric Analysis

I remember years ago - Starts the song with a strong sense of reflection
Someone told me I should take
Caution when it comes to love - Shows warning, therefore makes evident that video will include something to do with love gone badly/foreboding
I did

And you were strong and I was not - Introduction of the 'other half'
My illusion, my mistake
I was careless, I forgot
I did - Explaining that it is the protagonist that is affected most and made the mistakes

And now when all is done - Again reflecting, as something has already happened. Starting to see the relationship through flashbacks
There is nothing to say
You have gone and so effortlessly
You have won - Evidence that the relationship has ended, and that the artist/protagonist is accepting defeat
You can go ahead tell them

Tell them all I know now
Shout it from the roof tops - This section will show the performance/artist to break up narrative
Write it on the sky line
All we had is gone now
Tell them I was happy
And my heart is broken
All my scars are open
Tell them what I hoped would be
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible -Relating to the relationship, which is represented throughout the hardships of the partnership throughout the video

Falling out of love is hard -Showing the downfall of the relationship
Falling for betrayal is worse
Broken trust and broken hearts
I know, I know...

Thinking all you need is there
Building faith on love and words
Empty promises will wear
I know, I know... - Showing growing aggravation and despair form the artist/protasgonist

And now when all is done
There is nothing to say

And if you're done with embarrassing me - Show some sort of resilience from the main character
On your own you can go ahead tell them

Tell them all I know now
Shout it from the roof tops - Same as last chorus, but with more break up focus
Write it on the sky line
All we had is gone now
Tell them I was happy
And my heart is broken
All my scars are open
Tell them what I hoped would be
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible

I remember years ago
Someone told me I should take
Caution when it comes to love - This part of the song is slow, and should be represented through slow scenes of either the couple when they were together, or one/both of them reflecting
I did

Tell them all I know now
Shout it from the roof tops
Write it on the sky line
All we had is gone now - Focused on performance, with slight clips of narrative to break it up

Tell them I was happy
And my heart is broken
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, hoped would be
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible - Use light, slow clips of narrative at the end to provide the music video and relationship with 'closure'

This song provides different ranges of tempo, therefore allowing for a lot of flexibility when planning and producing certain scenes. The helpful thing is that the lyrics within the song could also directly correlate to a good narrative, as it already discusses an obvious break up, which means we simply have to create the breakup scenes in order to create an effective piece. I believe the editing will be pivotal when creating this, as although the songs tempo, sound and lyrics help set a mood, I feel the filters, camera shots and natural lighting will also be a great way to provide the viewer with a better understanding of what the music video is trying to portray, and how it is trying to do it.
