Kylie Minogue - Burn (Music Video)
Black screen, sound of a flaming fire, a text that says “Kylie Minogue in Burn” appears and fades out.
We see a silhouette of a woman posing in front of a large fire, the sound of the fire gets louder, Kylie Minogue’s voice speaks “Sometimes I sit, staring at the window trying to figure what life is all about, but life just passes me by. All day, you sob alone about your miseries and drown yourself in a sick love song, If it was all pretend, life is obviously too short to even care at all.. If smoking, drinking or bruising myself won’t kill me, my memory will” the voice over ends and we hear rising dramatic violin building up till the screen goes completely black again and we hear absolutely nothing.
“8 hours earlier” fades in and fades out.
Burn, the song, starts playing.
Lips, legs, hands and eyes. City lights and dark skies.
“How do I let go of you when you’re always on my mind, You said this world sucks so we made our own where peace we could fine” Kylie Minogue sings as she looks into the camera, you could feel the softness and the vulnerability.
A shot of Minogue trying to drown herself in the bathtub, the scene is disturbing and we see that she can’t drown herself.
Another shot of Kylie crying in the corner, wiping tears off of her face, smudged make-up, her hair is a mess.
We see Kylie’s lover, he’s very big and very masculine, and he’s at a gas station, as soon as he finishes he flirts with another girl. A sudden flash and we see the guy screaming at Kylie mouthing “You’re useless!” and he abuses her, this scene is very disturbing, and then we see Kylie facing a mirror, she lifts her shirt up and we see body is filled with bruises she hides every day.
At the beat drop, we see a beautiful scene where Kylie is watching the camera, her pretty eyes sparkle and reflect flames, a tear rolls down her cheek and her face gets sad.
Special effects and such are added in the beat-drop scene.
“You knew me so well and now that you’re gone, no one else tries to understand me, all that I needed, was the one thing I couldn’t find and I can no longer see” Kylie sings into the camera again and we see another scene where she goes into a bathroom and cuts all of her hair and is crying.
She goes somewhere, and meets the same girl that her lover flirted with, she knocks her off with a stick and gets her phone and keys, She goes into her apartment and steals money and searches all over the apartment.
She walks into a clothing store and gets out with a shopping bag, then she gets into a cab and arrives at an airport and she sits in the plane and lands somewhere in the middle east.
What could Kylie be doing in the middle east?
Kylie holds her phone and we see a message "I'm there! I missed your ***** so much (heart) (wink)" and goes into a bathroom to change.
Kylie sings in another scene "I’m so sick of love songs, so tired of tears, so done with wishing you were still here, I’d sell my soul just to see your face and I’d break my bones just to heal your pain" looking directly in the camera as well.
At the beat build-up, the screen goes black, suddenly. When the beat drops we see Kylie wearing a very racy outfit with a Niqab, the camera zooms out and we see her holding her lover with a leash In front of everyone, and everyone is watching. This scene is in slow motion and they’re both walking, Kylie in specific is walking fiercely.
Kylie then goes deep into the woods, walking and pulling her lover. She throws him in a cage and locks it, she screams at him and he's screaming for help.
She throws roses on him, and spills gasoline all over him and the cage, and she then lights a match, and throws it at him, then we see Kylie wearing a niqab does a dramatic slow motion walk-away from the fire in slow motion, takes off her niqab and reveals her pretty face, we see a beautiful scene where Kylie is watching the camera, her pretty eyes sparkle and reflect flames, and then she smirks.
“Burn everything you love, then burn the ashes. There’s just too much that time cannot erase” another voice over from Kylie at the end.
The end.
