"Quicksand" and how to use the camera and FinalCut Pro

In order to understand the meanings for the video and to plan each shot, me and my project partner listened to the record and typed up all the lyrics. This is crucial in aligning the narrative of the video to the record:


I saw a girl on the train with a flower in her hair,
On my way to Sander city.
A bright eyed angel, beautiful stranger.
The way she’s laughing with her friends looked so pretty.

I wonder if she has somebody,
I wonder if she needs someone to talk to,
Late at night.
But love, it’s just so complicated.
Trying to drag this broken heart a-stone
Back out into daylight.

I guess I’ll never really understand,
Thought that I would always be your man.
But we let the whole damn world slip through our hands.
Gave you room to breathe, it was never enough,
You pushed me to the edge just to make me give up.
I didn’t jump but I’d had enough, of the damage done,
Just running on quicksand.

It’s no surprise to find three years down the line,
Closed eyes never lie.
Was it really so hard to be a little bit honest?
Tricked yourself to think what you were doing was harmless.
Thinking I would never recognise the signs.

And now you told me that you’ve found somebody,
And you’re out there somewhere,
Pretending it’s all alright, faking that smile.
It wasn’t that I couldn’t really figure it out,
I guess I always knew inside you’d never be the one to stick around,
And now you’re out of style.

I guess I’ll never really understand,
Thought that I would always be your man.
But we let the whole damn world slip through our hands.
I gave you room to breathe, it was never enough,
And you pushed me to the edge just to make me give up.
I didn’t jump but I’d had enough, of the damage done,
Just running on quicksand.

Don’t go (what you looking for?)
Find that... (Looking out that open door).
You’re always there you wanted more,
It’s time to see, gotta settle the score.

I guess I’ll never really understand,
Thought that I would always be your man.
But we let the whole damn world slip through our hands.
I gave you room to breathe, but it was never enough,
And you pushed me to the edge just to make me give up.
I didn’t jump but I’d had enough (I’ve had enough),
Baby, you had better understand,
There ain’t no chance I’d ever be your man again.
Just rewind, if you try, I won’t buy it.
All the tricks and the lies are behind it.
You can look but you’re not gonna find it.
Running on quicksand,
Running on quicksand.
