I think the obvious interpretation of this song was the themes of love/sex that appear to be fairly blatant. However I think I will interpret the song slightly differently - as shown in the brief notes I scrawled around the lyrics! I think the song is definitely about a release of energy but I don't think this necessarily has to relate to a male counterpart (and that definitely wouldn't fit in with Scarlett's 'independent woman' image) and could be in reference to a release of energy in herself. Analysing these lyrics has really made me think about what I want my video to portray and I think I will base it on showing a duality or depth in an everyday character or persona. At the beginning of the video her expressions will be deadpan and she will be by herself - representing the way she is viewed by those normally around her or even the rest of society as a whole. As the song progresses and there is talk of 'coming alive' the inside of her mind will be embodied by the video as the dancers join her and she is on the street in apparent control of all the pedestrians due to the time lapse shots.
