They're all dead, but Dan pretends he's still alive while the girls acknowledge that they're dead. That's why the girls are enjoying themselves while Dan wanders around in agony, and at the end of the day he goes right back to being dead. Damn.
Also, Bastille always has such...beautiful songs. They're so meaningful and straightforward. Their videos, on the other hand, aren't quite as easy to see the meaning of.
I have never met my father. And the lyric ‘there’s a hole in my soul, I can’t fill it’ always reminds me of his absence. This songs breaks me but at the same time I also feel like there’s someone out there, feeling a hole in their soul just like me. And I don’t feel lonely at all beacuse there’s someone that understands me, feels the way I do. I love you Dan.
@@obsidianman4990 I was so hooked on this album when it came out. And IMO Bastille's current albums also are also pretty great. They're different but solid.
in my opinion the girls in the video are his flaws literally imbodiments of his flaws. But he loves them and has fun with them and embraces them (theme park etc...) he hugs them etc.. it is trying to say you need to dig up your flaws because they are a huge part of you and embrace them and love them ?? anyone else ??
I kinda think that the the song is a story about how someone died but they want to live one more day to fix the flaws and they had caused before and to make amends with the others who he had hurt
This connects to bad blood In bad blood he is lost in the ocean water by his girlfriend Then the girlfriend tried to kill her self for what she's done now in Flaws he wakes up unaware where he is so he realizes he was actually fighting her too so it broke out in a fight (plus point he's wearing the same jacket from bad blood) now flaws his him being very sorry for the both of them and it leaves off at there.
He's dead. That's why there's police tape around his body. I think the group of girls can see him because they're dressed as skeletons, but that's a bit crazy. Maybe they're dead too, and the skeleton costume is supposed to make it more obvious that they are, idk. Just a guess.
So right, as this came out before Bad Blood's video I kinda feel as if this one foreshadows his death as he is all kind of distant and vague in this one. Also, he wakes up FROM the crime scene where I am assuming he has washed up. In Bad Blood it says he was missing for 34 days and it shows him drowning, the kid in that video could have saved him but didn't and then you see the kid with his jacket. Also, all the skelly ladies could be foreshadowing his death and he could be like a ghost? I feel like all of the videos are related like in Things we lost in the fire when they hand him the gun and then all of the deaths in Of The Night or something? BUT I CANNOT FOR THE LIFE OF ME FIGURE OUT HOW AND IN WHAT ORDER FGS
Went to see them live in Prague last year for the first time ever, it was a life long wish come true. They played this song as an acoustic version and it just took me back to ten years ago when 13 year old me first saw them on TV, decided to buy Bad Blood a week later and become a lifelong fan. It was one the most amazing experiences I ever had. Thank you for everything Dan and the crew. This still slaps ten years later
I feel like in the video their flaw is that they are dead. However, Dan hides his flaw, as he looks alive. On the other hand, the girls embrace their flaws and they show them to everyone, as they are dressed like skeletons. Just my opinion. It's probably not right.
I was a big fan of this album and especially this song. Now years later I listen to and read the lyrics again.... I didn't really care about the lyrics back then but now... it's feels like this song always described me. My roommate (we're Dutch) couldn't find the dutch words to describe me so he said "You always wear your heart on your sleeve". And now I'm back at this song again
What a wonderful way to relate to the song. I am the same way (wear my heart on my sleeve) and I've known others who bury their flaws...This song makes me think about how at the end of it all, "all our flaws get counted." Like a reminder that we will face all of our flaws in our life review when we meet our maker some day, so we might as well "dig them out" and live with purpose.
When all of your flaws and all of my flaws are laid out one by one A wonderful part of the mess that we made We pick ourselves undone All of your flaws and all of my flaws, they lie there hand in hand Ones we've inherited, ones that we learn They pass from man to man There's a hole in my soul I can't fill it, I can't fill it There's a hole in my soul Can you fill it? Can you fill it? You have always worn your flaws upon your sleeve And I have always buried them deep beneath the ground Dig them up - let's finish what we started Dig them up - so nothing's left unturned All of your flaws and all of my flaws, when they have been exhumed We'll see that we need them to be who we are Without them we'd be doomed There's a hole in my soul I can't fill it, I can't fill it There's a hole in my soul Can you fill it? Can you fill it? You have always worn your flaws upon your sleeve And I have always buried them deep beneath the ground Dig them up - let's finish what we started Dig them up - so nothing's left unturned Oooooh Oooooh When all of your flaws and all of my flaws are counted When all of your flaws and all of my flaws are counted You have always worn your flaws upon your sleeve And I have always buried them deep beneath the ground Dig them up - let's finish what we started Dig them up - so nothing's left unturned Oooooh Oooooh All of your flaws and all of my flaws are laid out one by one Look at the wonderful mess that we made We pick ourselves undone

Literally I used to listen to Bastille every single day on the bus to school in 7th grade. I fell in love with them when I saw them performing at Coachella and I decided that I wanna get back into listening to their music fairly recently. They are my comfort artists.
This is my alarm sound and I want to strangle something when it wakes me up. But honESTLY THIS SONG IS THE GREATEST I CANT RESIST WHEN IT PLAYS ON THE RADIO
Over a decade later, Bastilles music resonates ao deeply. Bad Blood is now one of a my favourite albums. The way they capture the essence of mortality and the human experience in it, is both moving and timeless.
I have an idea what the music video is about but I may be wrong...When he first wakes up from the crime scene, I'm assuming he was dead. I think he "died" because he berried his flaws because "without them we are doomed." They he comes back to life because he has this moment of realization, he is like "woah. I need my flaws." (I'm guessing the skeleton people represent his flaws) So, he sees his flaws and he's like "woah, I'm probably better off with them!" So he goes and embraces his flaws and has a GREAT time. Then he has a concert and he tries to stay away from them while he is performing. Then I'm not completely sure what happens at the end but maybe it means, now he is able to sleep knowing he is himself. Hey! But that's just a theory.
So wait, is this the continuation of bad blood? Where Dan's body is washed onto the shore and the skeleton's around him are ghosts like him, but just with decomposed bodies? Or they could be zombies or something, idk. And then in Oblivion, the girl is remembering him by singing a song in his memory. (she's wearing his varsity jacket too)
I just realized literally all of Bastilles music videos are connected in one way or the other. Like in this one he's wearing the same Jacket the girl is wearing for the music video bad blood. And it's somewhat the same setting for one of his other videos I forget which one
Honestly Dan just getting up and walking away from the LITERAL CRIME SCENE where they're investigating his dead body is a power move if I ever saw one.
Braenn Smith It's worth it in the end. There are several songs that used to bring tears every time I heard them, but now they bring the smiles of nostalgia and memory - the pain never goes away, but it does fade and become bearable, and you become stronger as a result.
Am I the only one who wishes the lyrics were "you have always wore your flaws upon your sleeve, and I have always buried them deep beneath the sea" idk I think it sounds better than "deep beneath the ground"
and he wakes up from the crime scene where they found his body washed up on shore, i feel as if there is a storyline but i cannot for the life of me figure it out
I'd like to think that this is set after the events in Bad Blood. It's sure that he's dead, as shown in the beginning, but part of his fallen spirit starts to relive the memories of the nearby fair, because he probably went there a few times in his life time. The girls in the video probably look that way because they're more likely than not reminders of his being dead, three of them being either his friends/friends on his girlfriend, his girlfriend (maybe sister? He has a shoulder slung around her at 2:34) being the long haired girl who he sits next to on the swings. She seems forlorn or sad at some parts, because she's probably still alive--as opposed to the man in the video--and is mourning him. He probably has a choice to remain in this world the way he is right now; a ghost that's only able to see past times, because they were precious, unable to really 'live' again because he has passed. And even though he has company and entertainment and free reign of this new self, he probably understands that he shouldn't cling on to old memories--so he goes back to being dead, in the end. Of course, this is just interpretation, but this song and video have a deeper meaning than what I can explain!
+James Kepler OWL CITY!!!! WHOO HOO!!!! :P And the rest are pretty much the same for me too, except that I've never really listened to Fall Out Boy. And then I also like One Republic, but that's mostly just their song Secrets, but....oh well.
this band is just my absolute favorite! they make such good music in my opinion and every single song is sooo enjoyable! they are just awesome...i put them on the same level as coldplay! just awesome! and Dans voice and hair is soooo fucking sexy! i must now cause i'm a belieber :)

I've been feeling depressed and then it just had flaws as recommended and I was suddenly depressed in a good way, I can't explain but there's a certain kind of depression that makes me happy💖
As I watched with Laura Palmer as our house burnt down to the ground, we counted all the Things We Lost in The Fire. The ash left was worse than Pompeii. "What's with all this Bad Blood?" She cried, "Everyone has Flaws!" "Well, my dear," I answered, "That's how it goes in this life. This is the rhythm Of The Night."
