If you could only see the beast you've made of me Turned her into a beast full of passion, desire and lust Performance element with an evil sexy look in her eye
I held it in but now it seems you've set it running free
Screaming in the dark, I howl when we're apart Needing him, howling for him, desperation Shown in a dark room and screaming looking distressed
Drag my teeth across your chest to taste your beating heart Could be a metaphor for wanting his heart to be hers Dragging her nails and biting a topless man in a sexual way
My fingers claw your skin, try to tear my way in Wants to get inside him, she wants to be part of him or constantly on his mind Clawing and caressing a topless man in a frenzied way
You are the moon that breaks the night for which I have to howl Quick shot of the moon
My fingers claw your skin, try to tear my way in Clawing at the man again but he’s now show with lipstick and scratch marks all over him, he’s trying to get her off.
You are the moon that breaks the night for which I have to
Howl, howl She’s on top of the topless man howling
Howl, howl Performance element again going a bit crazy flinging her arms everywhere
Now there's no holding back, I'm making to attack Desperation again, she’s tried but now she really means it, she’s ready to attack for his love
My blood is singing with your voice, I want to pour it out
The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound
I hunt for you with bloody feet across the hallowed ground
Like some child possessed, the beast howls in my veins Show arms with veins moving upwards
I want to find you, tear out all of your tenderness[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/f/florence_and_the_machine/howl.html ]
And howl, howl
Howl, howl
Be careful of the curse that falls on young lovers Look what’s happened to me/us, be careful next time
Starts so soft and sweet and turns them to hunters
Hunters, hunters, hunters
Hunters, hunters, hunters Walking slowly and eerily looking for him in a dark wooded area looking a mess and dragging her feet
The fabric of your flesh, pure as a wedding dress Smearing blood on a white dress
Until I wrap myself inside your arms I cannot rest She will carry on until she’s in his arms walking slowly and getting faster
The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound and faster
I hunt for you with bloody feet across the hallowed ground and faster
And howl then running
Be careful of the curse that falls on young lovers
Starts so soft and sweet and turns them to hunters
A man who's pure of heart and says his prayers by night
May still become a wolf when the autumn moon is bright
If you could only see the beast you've made of me
I held it in but now it seems you've set it running free
The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound
I hunt for you with bloody feet across the hallowed ground
I held it in but now it seems you've set it running free
Screaming in the dark, I howl when we're apart Needing him, howling for him, desperation Shown in a dark room and screaming looking distressed
Drag my teeth across your chest to taste your beating heart Could be a metaphor for wanting his heart to be hers Dragging her nails and biting a topless man in a sexual way

I personally think this song is about someone bringing out something in your personality, your animalistic side. Some say this song is about a sexual relationship between man and woman and an animalistic passion being created, a passion that almost stops you acting human because you want them so much. I would create a narrative video of a woman meeting a man and then quickly becoming obsessed. I would show the man trying to slow the relationship down but the woman becoming more and more eager as time goes on. It would end up with the woman coming across as almost insane, chasing and stalking the man. It would show the character unable to accept the fact that her man doesn’t have the same passion, desire and lust for her therefore leading her to carry on chasing him. The story could end with her eventually finding him and unable to control her animalistic behaviour killing him by accident.
Now here are the ideas for Blinding;
Seems that I have been held, in some dreaming state Show the singer laid on a messed up bed zooming out from above
A tourist in the waking world, never quite awake Show her stood in a street with everyone fast forward apart from her miming the lyrics
No kiss, no gentle word could wake me from this slumber
A tourist in the waking world, never quite awake Show her stood in a street with everyone fast forward apart from her miming the lyrics
No kiss, no gentle word could wake me from this slumber
Until I realised that it was you who held me under
Takes me from 0:13 - :59
Felt it in my fists, in my feet, in the hollows of my eyelids show fast clips of body parts said
Shaking through my skull, through my spine and down through my ribs have eyes painted on palms of hands and open them like blinking, possibly glow in the dark paint
No more dreaming of the dead as if death itself was undone
No more calling like a crow for a boy, for a body in the garden
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love
dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love
dreaming like a girl so in love with the wrong world Show her dancing in the same position but this time the mans gone
And I could hear the thunder and see the lightning crack
And all around the world was waking, I never could go back Running
'Cause all the walls of dreaming, they were torn wide open
It finally it seemed that the spell was broken Becoming free[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/f/florence_and_the_machine/blinding.html ]And all my bones began to shake, my eyes flew open eyes drawn on palms of hands
And all my bones began to shake, my eyes flew open close up of eyes opening from different angles
No more dreaming of the dead as if death itself was undone Show her sat in a social situation with everyone talking around her as if she is invisible, they’re on fast forward.
No more calling like a crow for a boy, for a body in the garden
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl so in love with the wrong world
Snow White's stitching up the circuitboard taking shots goes to blurry image
Someone's slipping through the hidden door snorts something
Snow White's stitching up your circuitboard stumbling around camera spins around her
No more dreaming of the dead as if death itself was undone starting to stand up
No more calling like a crow for a boy, for a body in the garden
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love looking at her surroundings
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl so in love with the wrong world looking confused
Snow White's stitching up the circuitboard Snow white is a metaphor for cocaine
Someone's slipping through the hidden door
Snow White's stitching up your circuitboard
Someone's slipping through the hidden door (SCREAM in song) show her scream with the song and starts to trash the room, show plates being smashed and possibly play them backwards briefly then forwards, zoom in on the small pieces hitting the ground. End with her falling on the bed again and fade out, zoom out.

I think this song could be about either a death or a break up in a relationship. The girl has woken up to reality and doesn’t want to accept what has happened but realises she has to stop “dreaming like a girl so in love with the wrong world” the “wrong world” being the dream world of what she wishes was still there, (her boyfriend). The girl may start to fall into a state of depression leading her onto drugs; I would time the drug taking with the lyrics “Snow White's stitching up the circuitboard” which would then lead onto Florence
Another idea for this song may be that the song is literally about a Snow White like girl. The girl is asleep and in some sort of state, almost ghost like whilst everything else is going on around her. I could set social situations up where she is invisible to other people, for example she could be sat in a bar and all of her friends could be sat around drinking and laughing and the character could be sat just singing into the camera. A twist could be added into this by making the character sing in slow motion when filming so when you speed it up to match the lips to the real pace lyrics it looks like the character is at normal speed whereas the people around her are in fast forward. I would still have the breakdown at the end of the track with her smashing a room up.
After reading through both ideas for both songs I decided to stick with my original song choice of 'Blinding' as I feel I can do more with it and I wont be stuck to a strict sotry line, I have room to make it abstract and random with a brief story line.
