Establishing shot is of a female toilet door. The camera tracks as the door opens into the toilet, revealing a girl who chucks back a pill into her throat. She runs out of the toilet and down the hall. She then runs through a classroom, as kids look in awe, she jumps out of the window.
The next shot shows her cannonball into a swimming pool in the sun. A POV shot shows her surface and see a massive fire outside the pool. She gets out of the pool and walks towards the fire - comprised of school books burning.
As she gazes into the fire, bailiffs come along and pick her up. She is carried round the other side of the pool to a table strewn with snapped credit cards and bills. A shot of the men behind her as she glances at them before setting a match and chucking it on the fire. She runs away.
As the chorus sounds, the visuals cut between the girl walking through some woods and the fire.
The camera zooms into the fire and zooms out, revealing the fire as the end of a cigarette. Zooming out further reveals the girl sitting at a bar smoking a cigarette and doing a soduku puzzle. The camera pans to the left and she is seen flirting with the man, she flicks her cigarette onto the table and a fire starts again.
The girl runs away, and the visuals cut between the girl running and the fire at the bar.
The final part of the song shows the girl arrive home, only for her house to be only embers, burnt down. Zoom out and imply isolation and loneliness as the video ends.
