The lyrics are "I am in misery" and in the video these lyrics have been illustrated and amplified by the lead singer being abused mentally and physically by his girlfriend/ex. This screenshot shows him being stabbed in the hand by his partner/ex, but because he is abused so much that he doesn't feel the pain anymore.
There is referance to voyeurism throughout the whole of this video. The main music artist is constantly touching the female and kissing her. The have also dressed the female in tight, cropped clothing to reveal her body and shape. They have extreme close-ups of her body parts for example in the picture below they show her stomach.
"Smooth Criminal" - Michael Jackson
Michael Jackson is an example of someone who has created their own star iconography. Something that has become part of his star image is his dancing and his unique dance moves. In "Smooth Criminal" he presented a move that seemed to define gravity. A few other things that are associated with Jackson are his shoes, his hats and the random words he says.
("Billie Jean")
"Burn It To The Ground" - Nickelback
In the rock genre many music videos are of the band performing live on stage. In this music video it shows the band playing live on stage and there are cutaway scenes to the audience or to a birds eye of view of the concert. At times it shows the lead singer singing along to the music.
