Billie always puts dead air/blackness at the end of her videos..so those stupid suggested video boxes don’t ruin the end of the video. Also..she directed this video.
In the beginning the instrumental intro is 22 seconds. Her boyfriend who she thought she was in love with 3 years ago was 22. She was 16. It was the year she played at coachella. He used her to gain fame. He had "power" as the man and the adult to not use her for fame. Like she said power doesnt mean fame but he used his power over her to give himself fame
Woah I would have never picked up on the 22 second intro. It's always so interesting the significance of every intracacy within her songs. I'm going to go do more research on this relationship though! Thanks you for your comment! 🙂
Someone mentioned the 22 second intro was to signify his age at the time and that he used her fame and his power to gain fame. Thanks you for commenting! 🙂
I'm absolutely obsessed with this track. I have it on continuous play on Spotify. The snake is real, but I think they used CGI in the parts where it wraps around her neck. But there are pics of her posing with the snake so she was with it during the shoot, well... this is a girl who had real spiders in her mouth so not like she's gonna do too much fake stuff. She is attracted to doing stuff like that.
It had to be a snake in this video. There are so much symbolism about a snake. They can slither in without any one noticing until it is there. This is like how abuse can slither into a relationship and not be recognized at first. Sometimes abuse isn't recognized until the relationship ends I like how the snake has encircled her when she sings "keep her in a cage".
No the snake is not her pet. The snake's name is Archie and appeared in many movies and tv shows. Don't you think calling a Hollywood pro a pet is insulating?
