2. โtake us downโ
This gesture reinforces the lyric, and therefore draws
audience attention to it, which amplifies the
message that she is being fought against and is
resisting.
3. โI wanna yell itโ
Again, this literally illustrates the lyrics. It also
establishes a connection between the two set ups.
4. โdo we speak or are we just nodding
our heads?โ
This is disjuncture, the lead singer is so restrained by the
doctors and the situation that she does not nod her head,
it appears to be nodded for her as the doctor gives her a
pill.
5. โyouโll find a wayโ
Smirk of lead singer in performance detracts from
the struggle of her in the hospital, distances the
singer in one set up from herself in the other
6. โdonโt reach too farโ
Literally tries to reach out and is restrained,
disjuncture between lyric and gesture
7. โcanโt pull us underโ no.1
Ironic, as at this point she is already โunderโ:
she is unconscious.
8. โIโll be depleteโ
Acknowledging her own downfall in the performance setup by gesturing how she will be deplete, yet disjuncture
with the hospital set-up, in which she continues to
struggle.
9. โnow dump it on meโ
There is a connection between the performance and the hospital here,
and it appears as if the singer in the hospital is taking orders from
herself in the performance. This amplifies the message but is ironic,
she does not allow herself to be force fed, but rather spits [dumps] it
on the doctor, literally illustrating the lyric.
10. โif I go quiet will the itch go down with
me?โ
Amplification of key lyric, as the dancer comes
descends from his jump on the lyric โdownโ, reenforces the question to the audience
11. โnever mind that it was never there
nowhereโ
Agreement in action and in lyric draw attention to
this key moment, and firmly introduce the key
concept of the lead singer losing the dancer
12. โpull us underโ no.2
Again, they literally are pulling her under as she
says this lyric.
13. โpull us underโ no.3
Again, as she sings this she is falling unconscious
and her struggle is ending.
14. โpull us underโ no.4
In this last connection between lyric and action,
there is amplification. The lead singer is doing
everything she can to escape, and this is strongly
reinforced by the lyric.
