LYRICS ANALYSIS
Verse 1Every boyfriend is the oneUntil otherwise provenThe good are never easyThe easy never goodAnd loving never happens like you think it really should
Analysis: I think this part of the song sounds very hymn-like and therefore I am going to shoot it in a church - wedding.
'The good are never easy, the easy never good' - almost like preaching. OUTSIDE CHURCH
Verse 2Deception and perfection are wonderful traitsOne will breed lovethe other hateyou'll find me in the lonely heartsunder 'I'm after a brand new start'
And I don't belong to anyone
Analysis: When the lyrics mention deception and perfection it makes me think of wedding vows. There is a quirky twist when she says about breeding love (after marriage) and hate (not conventional). You'll find me in the lonely heart: makes the audience question why she is there. Under I'm after a brand new start - this makes the audience feel like she is not committed or interested in getting married. When the lyrics say under - I will lift a veil off her face and she will speak the words (lip-sync) this is ironic and I have turned it into a bit of a pun.The phrase I don't belong to anyone conveys her dominance and how she doesn't want to be possessed by men. INSIDE CHURCH
ChorusThey call me HomewreckerHomewreckerThey call me HomewreckerHomewrecker
Analysis: My protagonist is a homewrecker as she wrecks people's lives and what they can call home and be used to - she takes it away. This is exemplified in Leann Rimes' lyrics: 'Cause I know I've been waitingEvery day of my life
To be with you, to be with you.
In your arms I know where I belong.
I've never known this feeling before,
But it Feels Like Home.
In your eyes I know what I can be.
You've opened up your heart to me, oh
And it Feels Like Home.
As this is upbeat I will probably have dancers in this section
Verse 3Girls and their curls and their gourmet vomitBoys and their toys and their six inch rocketsWe're all very lovely 'til we get to know each otherAs we stop becoming friends and we start becoming lovers
And I don't belong to anyone
I will define my storyline with my protagonist flicking through an obsessive journal full of pictures of the men's hearts she has broken, and her next 3 targets. This will show her obsessed. I think this fits in well with this section as she is talking about stereotypical girls and boys and poking fun "gourmet vomit" and "six inch rockets". The lyrics "we're all very lovely till we get to know each other as we stop becoming friends and we start becoming lovers" shows the destructiveness of heartbreak. The phrase I don't belong to anyone conveys her dominance and how she doesn't want to be possessed by men.
ChrousThey call me HomewreckerHomewrecker (I'm only happy when I'm on the run)They call me HomewreckerHomewrecker (I broke a million hearts just for fun)They call me Homewrecker ]Homewrecker (I'm only happy when I'm on the run)They call me HomewreckerHomewrecker (I broke a million hearts just for fun)
Analysis: For continuity I will again have dancers. As for the lyrics this is where I formulated the idea for an extreme heartbreaker character. "I'm only happy when I'm on the run" and "I break a million hearts just for fun" shows that she does take pleasure in breaking heats.
Verse 4I'm only happy when I'm on the runI break a million hearts just for funI don't belong to anyoneI guess you could say that my life's a messBut I'm still looking pretty in this dressI'm the image of deception
Analysis: "I'm only happy when I'm on the run" and "I break a million hearts just for fun" shows that she does take pleasure in breaking heats. The way the tone of this part of the song is deep and full of mystery and adventure I want to portray my protagonist running away secretly from her 'lover' in the night. This again could fit in with the phrase "I don't belong to anyone" which is how she exited the last scene. "I guess you could say that my life's a mess, but I'm still looking pretty in this dress" could show her care-free and guilt-free attitude and also could link back to the wedding scene. "I'm the image of deception" I thought I could film my protagonist in the mirror writing in lipstick 'homewrecker' or the name of the album or the name of my artist... the effect of writing in lipstick is often shown as a type of confession in horror movies and this is effective...
BridgeWhen everything is life and deathYou may feel like there's nothing leftInstead of love and trust and laughterWhat you get is happy never afterBut deep down all you want is loveThe pure kind we all dream ofBut we cannot escape the pastSo you and I will never last
AnalysisAfter this part of the song, the beat changes and the tone is of something omnipotent and almost has a religious feel "When everything is life and death". I had to think for a long time about who this character could be who my protagonist could aspire to be like for this section. I thought of the Queen of Hearts "what you get is happy never after" (developed on in my influential media texts post), and therefore will use the green room to portray another world in which she belongs... it is almost like a delusional dream type thing. In this I will have revisit the boys who have had their hearts broken and perhaps see the consequences of this, the headline, "kiss the boys and make them die" (in my inspirational media texts post) has made me consider them killing themselves in some form because they cannot cope with the loss of love and heart break. "so you and I will never last"

"I'm only happy when I'm on the run" and "I break a million hearts just for fun" shows that she does take pleasure in breaking heats. However at the very end I will have my protagonist walk into a pub/bar type setting where her third target will be lined up to have his heart broken, then she will literally nod and wink at the camera to confirm the audience's thoughts that he is the next target and then she will walk towards the next victim as the last "Homewrecker" there is no musical accompaniment to make it sound more personal like a realisation ... fade out.
