The lyrics
Take the light, and darken everything around me
Call the clowns and listen closely, I'm lost without you
Call your name every day when I feel so helpless
I'm fallin' down but I'll rise above this, rise above this
Hate the mind, regrets are better left unspoken
For all we know, this void will grow and
Everything's in vain, distressing you though it leaves me open
Feels so right, but I'll end this all before it gets me
Call your name every day, when I feel so helpless
I'm fallin' down, but I'll rise above this, rise above this
Call your name every day, when I seem so helpless
I'm fallin' down, but I'll rise above this, rise above this doubt
I'll mend myself before it gets me
(I'll mend myself before it gets me)
I'll mend myself before it gets me
(I'll mend myself before it gets me)
Call your name every day, when I feel so helpless
I'm fallin' down, but I'll rise above this, rise above this
Forty eight ways to say that I'm feelin' helpless
I'm fallin' down, fallin down', but I'll rise above this, rise above this, rise above this, rise above this doubt
Continuity Editing
The music video is edited smoothly and well with continuity editing as
the music video keeps jumping from shot to shot of different
locations and people, which yet is mixed as it moves from the band
performing, to the actor playing Eugene on the ledge, to the family
members, and then back to either Eugene or the band. This has been
edited well to create a constant montage of clips which build up the
story, showing the different areas and people who are affected by the
suicide.
