Not sure if its, right, but here is my guess (maybe I'm being way too symbolic here). The white scenes, with the guy she kills, is her dream man, or perhaps her real perfect man. She has to kill him (not literally, but metaphorically) to accept what she has, which is the guy in the darker scenes. The other woman, in my opinion, is the woman she has to be either to please him, or to tolerate him.Like she's hiding her true self for her perfect man? I don't know; this is all speculative.
Does anyone know how to get this song..I tried downloading it but the version I got was completely different. Help would be appreciated. Lovely song by the way.
this is how i felt before i got together with my fiancee. sounds kinda mean i guess, but every time i looked at my then boyfriend i was thinking of my now fiance...
This is a song about Katy and her boyfriend. They have a bitter breakup and they both get with other people. But then Katy realizes she isn't happy and she wants her ex back but he's already moved on. So she kills her recent boyfriend because she cant STAND him.
WRONG! she kills her ex, the one who broke up with her (not mutually), and it never says or shows that he got with anyone else, only she did, trying to get over him... but she couldnt, so she kills her 'perfect' ex to get over him... and she smiles at the relief of his death
i think she is going out w/ a guy who she does like but just not as much as her ex & she cant stop thinking abt him & it makes her feel bad. loving someone who doesnt love u back & being w/ a person who u dont love
The blood takes away from the video. If they left that out, and also all the scenes with the stormy weather background, it would have been much better.
i think the point isnt that she kills him, its that she "stabbed him in the back" by sleeping with someone else (or two other people?) and now he is "dead" in her life because he left her. Then the rest of the song reflects her life without him after she realizes the mistake she made.
no... well close... its not a metaphore for her stabbing him in the back... she did something (not mentioned) that set him off, and he left her before the song/video started... he told her to move on, so she's NOW sleeping around to try to make the pain go away, and forget him, but its not working... and in the end she ends up metaphorically (or litterally) killing him to make her feel better, hence the smile... its kind of a stalker-ish "if i can't have you, nobody can" type of thought process
I think its about her loving someone that broke up with her that she just can't get off of her mind. Once you truly love someone they are all you think about.
No matter who else she is with whether it be a guy or a girl... they're still on her mind.
& she wants to just fix her mistakes and have her love back.
i think it just means that she broke up with someone who was perfect and now everyone else she is with fails in comparison and she thinks of this perfect guy whenever she is with the other second best guys
Hmm, I think I have a theory about the video. The guy in white is the one she loves and the song is about, but he broke up with her. So, she is dating the guy in black which is an ass and wants to sleep with more than just one girl. So, her "killing" mr. white sheets is showing how she feels. She is imagining herself with mr. white sheets, killing him because she is in pain and he caused it, but the reason why she is hurting is because she loves him so much. Hope that makes sense. :)

Goddamnit I hope this isn't Katy's "pretty" video. She should do more like the "Gorillaz" and have an artist draw a rendering of a pretty girl and she could pretend she looks like the cartoon in all her videos.
Wait...too late, we all found out you're ugly already.
I don't know.. I want to say she did kill him but I almost want to say she internally killed her self. Don't you just hate it when music video's don't make sense?
i love this and Ur So Gay... but i really hate every other song of hers on youtube... its all different kinds of music... the rest are like avril lavigne kind of CRAP... but this song is so good, and Ur So Gay is really f***ing catchy :)
I think basically its a metaphor. She's with the new guy in black who she doesn't care about and is (maybe) cheating on her with another girl. Katy realizes how bad she fucked up by breaking the heart of the guy in white who she truly loved (hence the blood).
lol, I do NOT know. I think she took things a little too far or maybe I misinterpret the whole thing... Maybe she was just on her period and she tried to make dinner. LOL I dunno
I was like "Ew, this sounds like any other song" because of the guitar part but then like... the way she sang it I was like "holy fuck...!" She could be singing to Hit me Baby ONe More Time and make it sound amazing.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
What a f****** emo chick. I'm going to write a song about how I don't like being with some girl and I like this other girl and it makes me sad so I just decide to kill the girl... or maybe I just killed one girl in the past. Either way, in the song, I'm going to have stabbed a girl, then I write an emo song about how bad my life is...
true, she did take part in it. And this is also the first video I saw of her. I can understand it's context to the rest of her music more respectfully now.
Great song she has amazing depth. I was just thinking about how original she is now, and how the 'biz' will transform her. Its sad to say that the famous are commidities.
oh she's like sooo cool, and her voice's just amazing, i cant believe it!! then the faces she makes when she's singing... it seems like she's actually grievin... oh i just love her!!
me too! soooooo long. i kept checking her myspace to find the vid but was always disappointed to not find it there. And now that i was especially for the vid - I FIND IT! ;p
wow u guys are way too into this video...
