Lyrics (Meaning
Implied?)
From watchingthe videoandlisteningtothe lyrics,itiseasyto establishthatthe monster(whoissinging) wantsthe oldladiessoul
and he has all these little,creepymanchildrentohelphimsucceedsohe isthe ‘daddy’of themall. The lyricstothe musicvideo
are verycreepyandunsettlingtosaythe least.Throughoutthe whole 5minutesand50secondsof the video,all we hear
repetitivelyis‘Iwantyoursoul’‘I will eatyoursoul’and‘come to daddy’ ina veryaggressive manorsonot onlyisitdisturbingfor
some people,itisalsoveryirritating.However,Ithinkthat’showitismeant to be,the lyricsare meantto sinkinandhaunt you
and playon yourmindto fitinwiththe overall theme/genre of the video.
Tempo The overall tempoof the songwas veryfast,upbeatandaggressive.Myownpersonal opinionof the songwasthatit wasjust a
groupof people makingaracketand beingverydestructiveandviolent.The characters(mainlythe little manchildren)were very
active,forexample,theywererunningaroundveryfastandmakingalot of noise tryingtointimidate the woman…Thislinks in
withthe lyricsas theyare alsoveryintimidatingandloudandboththe lyricsand videocanbe portrayedas violent.

Genre I wouldcategorise thismusicvideoasa drum& basstype genre mixedwiththe verynoticeable aspectsof monsterhorror. Heavy
metal wasone of the firstthingsthat sprungto mindwhenIheardit as I hate thisgenre of music,however,Ithink itcouldalsobe
classedaselectronic/technomusicbecause of howupbeatandalive itis.
CameraTechnique Due to thisparticularmusicvideobeingsofastmovingandactive,it’sa bitall overthe place sothere are a verylarge vary in
camera anglesandshots.Extreme close upshotsare usedto showthe monstersterrifyingface –the fact itis so close makesit
more effectivebecause it’salmostunpleasanttolookatso it’senoughtorepulse the viewers.Aswell asthis,trackingshotsand
panningshotsare usedoftento showthe movementandinterrogation of all the little menchildren,there isuse of atwoshot
