Description of visuals Lyrics

Central framing, actor sat I should’ve known,

with head slightly down, I’d leave alone
slowly rising up to look at
the camera.

Close up- Fake blood dripping Just goes to show,

from face, transitioning to That the blood you bleed
actor sat in a ‘blood bath’. Is just the blood you owe?

Shadow of man walking, (with We were a pair,

axe over his shoulder) then But I saw you there
disappearing Arc Shot Too much to bear
(parallel editing)

Holding picture, brushing off You were my life

dirt blood on hands. But life is far away from
Holding same picture Push-in fair

Was I stupid to love you?

Pull-out: Love letters being Was I reckless to help?
read in the rain. Signed XXXX Was it obvious to everyone
else?

Figure appearing and then That I’d fallen for a lie?

disappearing next to the girl You were never by my side

Push in- angry face. Fool me once, fool me twice

Transition to man digging Are you death or paradise?

Central framing- mascara Now you’ll never see me cry

running down face. Sat in
rain.
Arc shot- hands out standing There’s just no time to die.
in the middle of the road.
Bonfire footage
Burning the picture of the
two.
Ripping up pictures and
chucking them into the fire.
Tracking shot- walking slowly
Walking slowly
Figure appearing then
disappearing next to girl
Push in- angry face
Hacking action with blood
spraying on face
Angry face- trying not to cry
I let it burn
You’re no longer my
concern
Faces from my past
return
Another lesson yet to learn
That I’d fallen for a lie
You were never on my side
Fool me once, fool me twice
Are you death or paradise?

Grab for the axe, tries to Now you’ll never see me cry
hit but misses
There’s just no time to die
Grabs axe back- see her
swinging it
Eyes looking into camera, NO TIME TO DIE
covered in blood.
Push in- angry face- but NO TIME TO DIE
EXTREME ANGER
Covering body in soil. Fool me once, fool me twice
Hands are bloody and muddy.
Are you death or paradise?
Tears flowing, thought of
regret?
Now you’ll never see me cry
Push out to reveal

Head looking down. There’s just no time to die
