Analysis of Music Video - Baby Girl, I'm a Blur - Say Anything

Mainly performance-based with aspects of narrative and abstract interspersed between clips
The lyrics "the drugs can have my mind, you own the rest you'll find" suggest the man is having trouble choosing between the woman he loves and the drugs that he needs.
He mentions a "beast" twice in the song, which I think represents the drugs. "And only one can set me free, from the beast where I dwell" and "on the roof, we love the beast to death" suggest that he wants to be free of the drugs and she can help him, but he also loves them and doesn't want to give them up.
The camera switches a lot from regular colour to body heat detection/negative, which I think is a really good effect as it gives the impression that everything is very hectic, like when you're on drugs.
I think the small narrative clips thrown in there back up the idea that the song is about a man choosing between drugs and his woman because you see a couple kissing and then later on they're fighting, which could be because of the drugs.
I think the image the video is trying to give is very rocker-style and scary, which I think is achieved and goes well with the style of the song and the lyrics of it.
There are a wide variety of shots used in this video, all mixed together to make the video very fast-paced and exciting. There are a lot of close-ups of the lead singer, which is to be expected as he is the main part of the band. There are also a lot of clips of the man and the woman in the narrative clips and, scattered between clips of the band playing, there are a few very fast clips of their bodies. The video seems to be a montage of clips, of the band playing, of the couple and of random images that are thrown in there. There are close-ups of the band playing their instruments too. At the beginning and end of the video there are low-angle clips from
far away with the lights down so all that can be seen is the band's silhouette and the silhouettes of their instruments against the colourful heat-detection/negative image board at the back. The video starts off with closeups of the band playing their instruments, which I think is a good way to begin as it gives us a little introduction before the singing begins.
The mise-en-scene in the place where the band plays is really interesting as there is a big board behind them with heat detection/negative images on them. I think these images are from the fast clips of the couple's bodies that are scattered in between the videos of the band playing. I think the mise-en-scene is very typical of most music videos as they seem to be in a big, blank, black room where things of their own have been added in for the video. As for the room the couple are situated in, it's hard to tell anything about the mise-en-scene because all their clips are in heat-detection/negative, which means the mise-en-scene just comes out as white.
