That "please break my heart" line gets me so much, idk if it's entirely applicable to what the story of the music video is, but it puts this picture in my head of someone who had just killed someone they felt love for and the inability to take something like that back. Where you wish so much to bring them back you would give anything, even the very relationship you killed them over. "Please don't be dead, you can break my heart instead, just please don't be dead" is all that rings in my mind.

I mean the most typical reaction would be that he's in the wrong because she's a woman and you should take almost anything they do to you, almost, because when you find out that she's some jealous outsider breaking in to murder you and your girlfriend/wife or something like that it should cause people to think she's in the wrong.

It reflects how traumatic events work on your mind. If you view this video in reverse (events going the right way) everything goes much quicker and every reaction he had seems logical. But when it’s over, everything plays backwards and starts to seem jumbled (such as in this video) and nothing makes sense. And he, as well as the viewer, wonders why he didn’t do things differently.

[@inneedofbeans3385]

what’s happening is the woman is the intruder, presumably the ex gf, he had gotten home to see his wife/gf tied up. she screams while the ex tries to kill him. they fight for a bit until he kills her. he was defending himself and his wife/gf. (this video represents that we are quick to judge before knowing the whole story) this is just what i’m going off when i watched it in reversed

[@elimcandrew545]

nooooo thats not whats happening

[@CrazyRespawn]

Dont think its his Ex. Hubby was having an afair with the woman with the knife and she found out and came to kill him and tied up his wife. based on his reaction at the end (start of the video) hes sat in shame, not running to check his wife is OK or calling the police or ambulace, hes sitting with his head in his hands. cleary a sign of shame. this is a love afair gone wrong.

[@lifecapricious]

Running through comments I would say that to better understand the story of the video you may need to watch it reversed. Some people even after the end of the video thought the man was the abductor/agitator for various reasons such as his casual attitude and knowing exactly where the woman was tied up; however, if you watch it chronologically you see he walked in casual, tossed his keys on the counter, went to hang up his coat, hears something, drops his coat in a panic as he pulls back the counter to find his wife. The proof that it is his wife is that she is wearing a ring, he is wearing a ring, and the other woman is not (they make a point to show everyone's ring finger). While i would like to defend the guy, they did make a point to show everyone's ring finger. From a filmmaking/storytelling perspective this indicates to me that this was indeed a jilted lover out to make the married man suffer. Pure Theory: (referring to the cast as Husband/Wife/Other Woman. The other woman came to the house for the Husband. Meets the wife and in a jealous fit ties her up, planning to drown the wife in the tub as a suicide. this would leave the man heart broken, and all hers. As the bath is filling the other woman hears the door, and the husband tossing his keys. The other woman grabs a knife, and when she sees the Husband comforting the Wife, the Other Woman goes into a rage. A fight ensues ending when the man finally knocks the other woman out, and into the tub. He sets the breeze block he used on her chest. He weeps knowing this is all his fault as The other woman drowns. The irony is two fold. The Husband likely broke it off with her to save his marriage, and this will ultimately end his marriage. Meanwhile, the other woman was killed in the same manner in which she had planned to murder the wife.

[@BaristaTiffP]

I agree with the theory, but I am just curious about this "other woman". Was she his mistress and was scorned, or just a woman who was obsessed with him and jealous of his wife?

[@Polystyrene11]

In an interview they explained that showing the video in the exact relationship to the song was unfeasible. So the song is about an obsessive boyfriend that murders his lover or atleast the person he obsess over with a breeze block (cinder block to the US). In the video the obsessive one is the woman who has been having an affair or atleast unrequited feelings towards the man and thinks that killing his wife will allow him to love her. Same basic concept but they couldn't get away with a domestic abuse murder on film so they changed the relationship to a justified murder just to get it past censors.

Mans psycho ex tied up his wife and tried to kill him when he got home and found his wife in the closet. The rest is him fighting her till he kills her with the cinderblock and drops her in the bathtub

There is a breezeblocks reversed video

@@laynex_ why did I just read all of it

[@micalishis]

For a video that is in reverse it has quite a bit of twists and turns.

This video is helpful for learning what breezeblocks are.

Lol yes

[@swizzledizzler9417]

a "breezeblock" is the British term for a cinder block

[@LukeRileyA]

Venellope Von Swizzle Makes perfect sense.

[@RealHankShill]

This video is about not making assumptions before you know all the information.

[@voivod6871]

Yes but the first 50 seconds of the film show a man chasing a woman down and smashing the back of her head with a breezeblock then weighting her down in a bath of water, anyone how says they wouldn't make the assumption on first viewing that the man was evil is a liar.

[@RealHankShill]

Well, considering time is running backwards, it should be your first clue that maybe there is more here going on than meets the eye.

[@wmarema93]

I'd say it's about the exact opposite of that.

[@valentinkrajzelman4649]

@@voivod6871 its more interesting that if someone would like to incriminate the man they would just show the first part of the video, in other words the media its very powerful

My first impression was that he accidentally murdered his wife but he just wanted her to stay with him, as I've looked over the lyrics many times before watching and that's roughly what the song's about lmao
