Lyrics breakdown

Warpaint – Shadows 

Intro 0:00 – 0:13 (For the intro we will have the actress stood in a city with everything but them rewinding)

I know I'm afraid, I know I'm afraid, 0:13 – 0:19 (for the next two lines we hope to do the same as the intro but only with everything in fast forward with the actress singing. The actress will appear drunk, tired and afraid with an empty bottle of wine to emphasise the lyrics. We hope to use a long shot for this)
I'm drunk and I'm tired, 0:19 – 0:21 
And the city I walk in, the city I walk in, 0:21 – 0:28 (For the next two lines the actress will be walking in the busy city again with an empty bottle of wine appearing drunk)
It feels like it swallows, 0:28 – 0:32 (hopefully a trombone shot will be used in this line to emphasise the lyrics)
With my hand in my pocket, 0:32 – 0:35 (A shot of the actress walking with their hands in their pockets, the camera slowly moves to the ground where her shadow is lit up by a street light)
I feel like a shadow, I feel like a shadow. 0:37 – 0:45

Though I'm afraid, 0:46 – 0:48 (hopefully for the next two lines the actress will be in a quieter, darker street where she is surrounded by shadows on the walls which would represent her mistakes)
Afraid that I have made mistakes. 0:50 – 0:53 
Now there's nothing here for me. 0:56 – 0:59 (a close up of the actresses face is used)
The things you once told me, 1:00 – 1:02 (hopefully for the next few lines we will use a 360 degree pan of the actress and the lights in the background. First turn will be a medium shot and will be a low angle 360 degree pan)
The thoughts you once gave me, 1:02 – 1:05 
Sound like the wind in my ears 1:06 – 1:09 
That blows out the knots I've got in my long brown hair. 1:10 – 1:17 (a close up shot of our actress brushing her long brown hair)

I feel like the shadows I don't even bother for anymore than that. 1:20 – 1:31 (a medium long shot of a shadow)
What did you whisper in my ear? 1:35 – 1:43 (medium shot of one girl whispering into another girls ear with words coming out of the girls ear who is getting whispered to)
What did you tell me that I wanted to hear? 1:47 – 1:55 (the actress is writing in her dairy about previous events, a close up of her face whilst she is thinking “what did you tell me”?)
What was the answer you wanted me to find out? 1:58 – 2:07 There's no lies, the lies, the lies, the lies... 2:08 - 2:19 (For these lines we will have a tracking shot of the actress walking across a field towards a fire for the line after that she will be throwing letters into the fire, and the camera will be showing this from the other side of the fire, jump cuts might also be used for each time it says ‘lies’)


Brought back something, 2:28 – 2:31
A bit for you, a bit for everyone. 2:31 – 2:34
You and all your pieces, 2:35 – 2:37
You and all your pieces made me come, 2:38 – 2:42
And all that love you gave was strong enough to make me stay and now it will be alright. 2:42 – 2:51 (rewind a tracking shot of someone walking away from their house so that they are returning to the house they left)

I feel like the shadows I don't even bother for anymore than that. 2:55 – 3:05
I feel like the shadows I don't even bother for anymore than that. 3:08 - 3:19 (girl dancing with sparklers around the fire) 

What did you whisper in my ear? 3:23 – 3:27 
What was the answer you wanted me to find out? 3:32 – 3:42
There's no lies, the lies, the lies, the lies... 3:43 – 3:54 (girls stood around the fire whilst one is whispering into the other girls ear)
