This video gives the sense of being trapped. The two girls seem to be in an enclosed area, surrounded by people watching them. The emotions on their audience are blank and perhaps disapproving. Is this a way of saying that the couple feel trapped due to their sexuality?
The edits and cuts become faster as the song speeds up. All the way through there are mixed cuts between the couple kissing and the audience. It is raining, the audience have black umbrellas but the two girls are soaked. This added to the romance and typical image of lesbians, when we see them kiss.
The kiss is cut up by flashing back to the people watching and clips of the girls running up and down rails as if searching for each other or a way out.
As the song comes to an end, after they kiss and hold hands they simply walk off, showing an image of what appears to be the audience enclosed in the wired fence, not the girls, as we assumed. Is this perhaps saying that now the girls have found each other, they are free...or did we simply have the wrong idea all along?
