In class, we watched 3 music videos which focused on abuse. The first video was about domestic abuse, the second was on verbal abuse and the last one was about bullying.
The first music video was about a woman who heard screaming on the other side of the wall. She says that it would be pointless to call the police because they'd either come too late or not even come at all. The singer says that she couldn't sleep at nights because of all the screaming and shouting. She then says that one day, she hears loud screaming and a short while after, she hears a pound and then an ambulance.
The second music video was, again, about a woman who gets abused but this time, it's not domestic abuse but actually, it's verbal abuse. I didn't really understand the video as it was a bit confusing for me but I think she's saying she's being put down by her husband and occasionally being abused verbally by him. He always degrades her. Later in the video, I think she mentions how her husbands mother came and she then says something around the lines of: "And now it's your turn". Which means that it's her husbands turn to get abused. As I said, I did not understand this very well.
In the third and final song, it is a man who wrote a song about a child who suicided in the 19th century. The child gets bullied at school and he says that his parents give little to no knowledge of the bullying he gets at school. He then goes into the forest and has paintings hung up on trees. He goes to the forest to relax and be at peace because that was the only place where he wasn't getting bullied. He then goes to school one last time. The boy throws an apple to his teacher and proceeds to take out a gun and kills himself with it. Blood splatters onto his classmates.
