i believe its about a girl getting hit on the side of the road, when she meets her maker she gets "one wish" she wishes to stay on earth to be with her significant other, she finds she can never be truly with him in her state and now wonders forever.
I would be very grateful if someone could explain what this video is supposed to be... I can usually tell from the lyrics and video, but I can't understand a word she says... I still kind of like it though.
I think when you look at the video and listen to the lyrics it brings it to light. In the video shes floating around almost as if she has no control over her destination, like a residual ghost haunting. The lyrics say (I cut and i spear, and what else is there?) seems to me that she was killed by lightening (and the flash lights and explosions) and is doomed until the next life comes.
I wondered if she was hit by a car ("It was me on that road/But you couldn't see me/Too many lights out) and then talk about "flashlights, nightmares and sudden explosions makes me think that as well. And now, she's stuck in some weird afterlife, like you said, and she doesn't know exactly what's going on and she wants to get someone's attention, but she can't.
Or so it came across to me. I could be COMPLETELY wrong on this...which I wouldn't be surprised, haha
it's a rough song. It took me a while to get use to. The first time I listened to it I was like "What is this racket?" And then I started hearing the words. The song became an experience, a piece of art.
There was a whole lot of dumb right there. It’d be cool if we could see something more entertaining.
Maybe an indecipherabley and indistinct chick that floats around looking for hairy shit?

Who is this singer? I'm fascinated by her. especially with the lyrics included, it makes her pronunciations even more fascinating.
