The Stunt Lyrics And Lyrics Analysis

You've got this feeling that you found
You get the feeling when you come down
Another day in the same damn town
Too sick and tired to look around

Don't you worry, you're beautiful
Don't you worry, we've all been there before
Where you are, where you are

With your fears on fire and a wild desire
And you run so fast but you can't take flight
And are you alright cos' i don't think that you're fine
And just as she smiled a tear fell from her eye and she said

I'm an excellent mother
But I can't provide a father
I won't talk about your flaws cos' I am too important
I am too important

There are no words, that I could write or rehearse
I don't know how you sound, I don't know how you work
How you work

I tried to use my armour
But I was on the warfront
You are a terrible man, you pulled a terrible stunt
You pulled a terrible stunt

(Oooh's here)

I didn't say anything cos no one talks about it
We're all just too important to realise our flaws 

Ohhhsss

I didn't say anything cos no one talks about it 

We're all just too important to realise our flaws 

We decided on the idea of the music video being about a broken hearted girl since her dad left her because of the lines "I'm an excellent mother, but i can't provide a father" and "You are a terrible man you pulled a terrible stunt" by using flashbacks it can show how she got to the dark place that she is in now, which will be of the mum and dad arguing. We also wanted a split personality or a guardian angel looking out for her from the lines "don't you worry you are beautiful" so it is that something that is keeping her going.

We also think the theme should be reflection as throughout the artist is reflecting on herself, the situation and her life. Instead of doing it like this we want to do it a different way by using mirrors etc, so she is literally reflecting on herself. A chasing scene will also be involved with her lost self we decided this from the line "and you run so fast but you can't take flight" we want to show her trying to run away from her troubles.
