| LP WithYou: Video Treatment - A Place For My Head |
Intro
Starts of in a dark and creepy old basement. At first, the camera's focusing on a spider crawling on it's web, pans out to reveal the lp members in various places around the basement. Goes to a veiw of Brad playing the intro chords. When drums come in, it goes to a veiw of Rob (on drums!) Then goes to a shot of Chester sitting down in one corner. Then goes to a shot of Mike standing in centre of room
I watch how the
moon sits in the sky/in the dark night
shining with the light from the sun
the sun doesn't give life to the moon assuming
the moon's gonna owe it one
Mike starts rapping + the screen changes to a veiw of the moon through the basement window
It makes me think of how you act to me/you do
favours and then rapidly/you just
turn around and start asking me/about
things that you want back from me
Goes back to Mike rapping , then to shots of various spiders, building webs around the basement.
I'm sick of the tension/sick of the hunger
sick of you acting like I owe you this
fing another place/to feed your greed-
while I find a place to rest
Goes to a shot of joe, in another corner of the room. Then back to Mike.
I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
(you'll see it's not meant to be)
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head
Goes to Chester as he starts singing. A spider crawls on the chair that he's on and goes towards him, before it touches him, he stands up. As he sings 'a place for my head', he lifts his hands up to his head and changes into Mike, who is in the same position.
Maybe someday I'll be just like you/and
step on people like you do and
runaway the people I thought thought I knew
I remember back then who you were
you used to be calm/used to be strong
used to be generous/but you should've known
that you'd
wear out your welcome/now you see
how quiet it is/all alone/i'm so
Mike brings hands sown from head + starts rapping again. Goes to shot of Rob Again. Then to a shot of a spider coming down from the ceiling and almost landing on Mikes shoulder, but just in time, Mike moves (still rapping), (Both times when Mike + Chester move from the spiders, they don't know ther're there).
I'm sick of the tension/sick of the hunger
sick of you acting like I owe you this
find another place/to feed your greed-
while I find a place to rest
Goes to shot of Chester. The area he is standing in suddenly gets covered in spiders building webs in quick time, Chester is in normal time and is oblivious to the spiders. Goes back to Mike + same happens to him.
I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
(you'll see it's not meant to be)
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head
Goes to shot of whole band, the whole basement is now coveredin webs, but all the spiders r gone.
(Quiet) You try to take the best of me go away, (x4) (last go away is Loud)
Camera is on Chesters head + shoulders. His head is hung. On last 'Go Away' he lifts head up and his eyes are glowing red).
(Loud) You try 2 take the best of me go away (x4).
Goes to shot of whole band againg. Chester's jumping around and singing. You see all the other's eyes flash red one member after another.
Chorus again.
All the windows break + the webs are blown away, then everything starts shaking.
Go away. + music break.
Camera scans over a giant spider, bigger than the house, from the legs to the body.
I'm so sick of the tension/sick of the hunger,
sick of you acting like I owe you - this.
Find another place
to feed your greed
while I find a place to rest.
The giant spider rips the roof and house off the top of the basement.
But then Linkin Park disappear.
Song ends.
When the music has finished, the last shot is of the basement as it was at the beginning. Only Chester is in it. He is sitting on a crate in the middle, camera zooms in to his eyes. They flash red, then bthe screen fades out.
