A Christmas Narrative

Highly Suspect - Lydia (Music Video)
First Watch:
Watch ticking, breaths being taken.
Passed out, tied to rope at the bottom of the pool.
Brightly lit, perfect makeup and dress
Slow, calm camera movements.
Slowly awakens, and realises she is tied down by all four limbs.
Wide open eyes.
starting to struggle.
Big struggle, with lots of bubbles.
camera movement is more viscous.
Manages to untie herself, then realsies she's also tied around the waist.
This is how it ends, with this realisation.
Second Watch:
Blue and orange colour scheme, matches ginger hair.
Ironically a key around her neck as a necklace.
Relatable Lyrics:
Black ocean, cold and dark
I am the hungry shark, fast and merciless
But the only girl that could talk to him just couldn't swim
I am the hungry shark, fast and merciless
But the only girl that could talk to him just couldn't swim
I've seen better days
So unafraid in my youth
I can't breathe, much less believe
So unafraid in my youth
I can't breathe, much less believe
Your eyes are lined in pain
Black tears don't hide in rain
And I tied you to the tracks
When I turned around, I heard the sound
I hit the ground, I know there's no turning back
Black tears don't hide in rain
And I tied you to the tracks
When I turned around, I heard the sound
I hit the ground, I know there's no turning back
I can't fucking breathe, much less believe the truth
I pick up a mag, aim for this head, and shoot
Better days, so unafraid in my youth
I can't breathe or believe the truth
I pick up a mag, aim for this head, and shoot
Better days, so unafraid in my youth
I can't breathe or believe the truth
Your eyes are lined in pain
Black tears don't hide in rain
And I tied you to the tracks
When I turned around, I heard that sound
Black tears don't hide in rain
And I tied you to the tracks
When I turned around, I heard that sound
