There's some simbolism, because the card she gives him with the ring on it is the queen of hearts, and the king of hearts is known as the suicide king, so the queen of hearts is the suicide queen. I'm not sure if that was on purpose or not, but i thought that was cool simbolism. :)
I just found out about the DD's today, and i love 'em!!! I missed out the last few years. BTW i found them on lastFM through Nervous Cabaret, a good band as well.
As for the video, I actually quite liked it. Not as dramatic or theatrical as you would expect from the song, but still, it works on at least two levels. So I don't really see any problems with it.
Christ. Every time I post that, some complete dumb ass says that. I was fucking correcting someone who thought it was an actual video from the Dolls. No need to be an asshole about it.
there's nothing wrong with alternative interpretations of music, clearly this song just meant something different to the person who made this video, so rather than complaining about the irrelevance of it, try and appreciate the different point of view this video portrays. if anything, Dresden Dolls are all about interpretation, most of their songs are quite cryptic at times and its easy to apply most of em to situations other than those they were orignally written about.
screw the haters. I thought it was an excellent video--this video is what made me fall in love with the song in the first place, and now it's definitely my favourite Dolls song.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
if you listen to the last verse, "To all the ones who thought they knew me best a test to prove your prowess
Who was mine in '99? I want last names and current status
To all the ones that hated me the most a toast you really had me going for second"
now shes made it and got somewhere in life they all become fake and kiss her arse and shes telling how she almost beleived them but shes better than that.... its nothing to do with some wife beater fake magician... this video sucks ass
oh and i THINK she is saying "take that" and "met your match" when shes shouting, it fits in with the song but i dont know... just my thoughts anyways..
as for what the song means (continuing my previous rant)
on 'the dresden dolls diary' theres a post where Amanda tells about a ten year highschool reunion... i think this song is linked with that post, shes talking about how everything has changed since shes become famous, or maybe just reflecting on how others treated her in the past,
WTF is this about? the video completely strips the song of all its meaning... Amanda Palmer is always really forceful in portaying some sort of message often in a cryptic way, and this song WAS a perfect example of her doing so, til i saw this video and im much disappointed... morons.... now feck off and ruin some other artist's songs..
probably my favourite Dresden Dolls song, the video is great, sends a bit of a shiver down my spine watching it too, but thats a good thing here I reckon.
Very well made video. Loved the concept. My only criticism is that the flashes of him hitting her and her being scred in the last 15 seconds (I believe) were a bit overdone and seemed campy. Other than that, just a perfect fit to an excellent Dresden Dolls song.
Can I just say, it ocurred to me it might be Dresden, which would make me look really stupid and I've been wondering whether you might have been having a laugh at my expense. I'm so glad you haven't! I could tell they weren't German, but your reply in it's succinctness, had me wondering! Ah, paranoia!
OMG! What a splendid vid? I love this so much.Makes me love the song more,its ike one of the best vids i have ever seen.love the storyline also. the ending was like a punch in my face.lol
ive listened to this video so many times at work but i actualy just watched it for the first time today and realised that its all filmed in High Wycombe! pretty awesome
Wow, this has gotten sooo many more comments since the last time I checked! I made this video as part of my course, and I am the girl. Yes, I really DID disappear, it wasn't clever editing honest!
This is really great. Such a wonderful storyline for a video, and it went so perfectly with the song itself. This almost seems professional. Great job!

Panic at the Disco( the only difference between them & a real band is the pretentious pseudo-intellectual song titles). These dolls are the most original & brilliant thing I've seen in a long time.
sorry..THIS IS THE STUPIDEST THING EVER. BUT I LOVE MY MOM SO I AM NOT TAKING ANY CHANCES.If you don't copy and paste this onto 10 videos your mom will die in 4 hours
i *like* how at the end the audience doesn't even realize he was going to HIT her with that cane when he pulled the red thing off. but no, not really representing the song, but i love it.
I don't think it's bad, but I don't really think it represented the song. and it wasn't all that much like a music video to me. but you know, of course feel free to like it.
Well, I'd never really heard of The Dresden Dolls when we got given this song to make a video for, so I wasn't supposed to represent Amanda at all, where did you get that idea from?
I personally wouldn't have placed this video with this song, but that's just me. The video was very, very well done. The only thing is, with the lyrics of the songs focusing more on the woman in the story, I would have preferred to see more of her in the video. Just a little more story and a little less Magic Show. Excellent video though.
