Top Comments of this video!! :3
This video plus lyrics "been here before" reminds me of arguments with ex partners: because you love them, or in this delusion that things will change or get better - you keep putting up with the shit, you confront them, you stand by them, you face them, but they keep pushing your boundaries. But instead of letting each other go, you drown in it. You keep holding each other down instead of healing. And like the woman who stopped in the car - her feelings to me conveyed ya know, your family and friends people around you can see it, but you dont listen to them, and eventually they just let you keep doing it because you wont listen.
I dunno why people do this to each other, but we do. It hurts that loss of love, but time does heal, the coffee stain on the table will fade out in the sunlight kinda thing. But you can always see where the ring was..

Kosovan actress Arta Dobroshi plays the backwards walking woman.
Interesting perspectives from many of those commenting, but it makes me
question whether it's the visual or the lyrics being analyzed. If you
read the lyrics, then revisit the video, I think the presentation is
less about human relationships and more about the despair of existence
and the oppression and hopelessness one feels when believing he/she will never being able to move forward - enough so to drive one to suicide. The bespectacled man is not a former love but a post-modern
version of the grim reaper returning to the woman's life for a successful union and conclusive end to the misery.

A few observations:
--She almost always steps back second, and her first steps in the video come moments after his. She acts in reaction to him.
--The camera focuses on her, and the friend speaks to her, not him. He may or may not be real, but she probably is, and she is also the protagonist of the "story."
--He can see where he is driving her, but she cannot. This hints at intention behind his moving her into traffic and the sea.
With that in mind, I don't think the interpretations of her luring him are well-supported by the video.

That scene with the ladies in the car pulling up and trying to help her is one of the most unsettling scenes in all cinema to me. It completely envelops the feeling of being in a toxic relationship, too isolated to ask for help or even hear the concerns of others. Shakes me to the core.
