Drown With Me: Music Video: Synopsis

Here it is, straight from the e-mail of the director. Slightly controversial, but no need for worry, there's nothing explicit... mostly suggested.

DROWN WITH ME-synopsis

-try to keep up with these random thoughts and pictures – try listening to song at the same time- it will confuse u even more- exactly my point-

Band. Freeze frame. Picture. Put down picture. One wall covered totally of band pictures. Spy cam: she took her hand out of her shorts. Her face flushed. Must have been masturbating. Messy room. Empty aquarium like an altar. Embrace wall. Hit wall. Curse wall. Tear wall. burn pictures. Gather ashes. Put in pot. Cut pics. Sprinkle in aquarium water. Pot grows plant. Mini dump in aquariums: used undies, used condoms, used teddies, album cover, pig’s heart, eggs. She strip tease the plant. 2 cups of milo. Ashes mix in. She swallowed one. Flirt with plant in pot. Angry. She toss the other milo at the plant. Plant in aquarium. She stares at it. Save the plant. CPR. Just got messier. Plant uprooted on floor. Quite dead. She sleeps with it. (or die with it, we don't really know.)

End here.

Version 2 ending
Or with hope:
She opens door. See girl holding a pot. Look inside. A single seed in pot.

are these all coming out from the director after he "immerses" himself in the lyrics? Is it more about him or what the lyrics convey?

"drown" suggests water ... hmmm...

I like the single seed ending though ... in line with Godfather McLuhan .. the seed becomes the medium :-)

my totally non-professional 2 cents for what it's worth.

Depends what you mean by 'Christian song'... I, as a Christian, did write the song, but it's not a worship song.

And don't worry... there will be no masturbation in the video. It's part of the script, but we're not showing the person acting it out. It's just implied.

My mantra when it comes to this issue is... any masturbation should be kept behind closed doors.
