Suicide Note

(since of the fast cuts, it seems to load and play best after one play through the video)

this is a video I made for a class. It is "jumbled" on purpose. We had to do a 12 frame edit where every .5 seconds we had to cut away.

inspiration by Johnette Napolitano's song "Suicide Note"

lyrics re-interpreted for the video

LYRICS
Every night
You wrote another line
With a bloody, borken, bottle
And every day
You wish it away
Why don't you pull the pin
On that grenade
You cuddle

I wanted to believe
Bodies swinging from trees
Struggling to stand
With your head in your hands
A stoic last stand
Of a dying man

I wanted to believe
As I watched your world
Crumble in your hands
I wanted to believe
As you raised your glass
To your last stand
And I wanted to believe
You would win
The war in your head
That I did not understand
That I did not understand

Every night
The questions poured out
Of your wounded eyes
Damn dark things
Every day
You used to pray
Listen to the black raven sing
You wanted to believe
As you were falling to your knees
Struggling to stand
With your life in your hand
The sad last stand
Of a broken man

I wanted to believe
As I watched your world
Crumble in your hands
I wanted to believe
As you raised your glass
To your last stand
And I wanted to believe
You would win
The war in your head
That I did not understand
That I did not understand

I wanted to believe
As I watch your world
Crumble in your hands
I wanted to believe
As you raised your glass
To your last stand
And I wanted to believe
You would win
The war in your head
That I did not understand
That I did not understand

And the questions pour out
And the questions pour out
I did not understand
I did not understand
I did not understand
I did not understand
The sound of you falling
I did not understand
As the trembling heart of a man
Did not understand
The sound of a trembling heart

[LabyrinthWorm]

no, i'm def. not going to kill myself, :) thanks for the concern though! and thanks for the positive feedback :)

[aviesnumber1lovre]

it wazz good aand all, but, if=t didnt make sense, me myself am suicidal, and thats not how it goes, for one the stool waznt in the kitchen to start out with, two, you could tell you were sitting on the fridge, three, it wasnt real blood and you could tell, forur, wy did you fill the tub up with tap water, the paper didnt realy matter, five, to many knives, when your cutting, you grab the first one you see and start, you dont wait and decide, your not thinking,

but nice try

thogh its obvious!

[LabyrinthWorm]

The video is not a literal interpretation of suicide. It's a metaphor for meticulousness of a process. The video was not intended to be a "this is how people commit suicide". There was nothing literal about the process, also there was not real blood because I am not suicidal, so I am not going to cut myself for a school project. The paper was a metaphor - instead of showing a dead BODY, the paper symbolized the body. think metaphors and symbols, not literally, but thanks for your comments!

vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv­vvvvvvvv

if u r depressed its nt easy toget help and its very hard to tell ppl tht u need help !!! =/

[revolutionikita]

It had to be cut away every .5 (point-five) seconds, not every 5. :)

[j3ffavila26]

Wow -___- 1:34 Ur friggen sitting on ur fridge dumbass.

[EndoSmoke16]

After writing up a touchy suicide note take alotta vicodin and oxycotton and then do it real fast u won't feel any pain. Some people don't hav a purpose in life dats why they need 2 commit suicide

[ichsinke]

I DIDN'T

[Hallstaintedred]

Nice frig bro.

[Zombiesfire]

As Palestinian said stop crying and go help others that want and need help!

[Fuggleification]

and you are one of the reasons for suicide

inconsiderate bastard

[PalestinianV]

hey people from the west, if you are desperate and in sad situation why don't you think to help other people , many people need your help and try to help other is the way of happiness, we welcome you in Palestine like activists against the israeli occupation, many other countries also need you, Sudan, Congo, China ... etc Try to join humanitarian organizations, and die as a hero in helping other, instead of wasting your life.
