Lyric Analysis

For my music video I have chosen to use the song 'The Days Have Turned' by John Frusciante. The song is about the sadness and loneliness he feels as an artist whose music is distant from the world as he is an introvert and wants to be self expressive for his own reasons. The idea of tiredness is key in this song as he is seemingly done with the trivial nature of his life and the conflicts it causes with the art he wants to create. I will be presenting the audience with a clean and simple video, showing the loneliness of being depressed, introverted and giving up.

I will achieve this by working closely to create natural lighting and adding detail by showing close ups of different objects or parts of the body to reveal more about the individual.


The days have turned away from me
The lights no longer shine on my head
And people turn away from me
No more do they look to me with respect
Well, I know now
It was the first time
That was fun 
Now the life I've resigned
When I feel I've got problems
How wrong I am
I'm awaiting life as another man
Don't crowd me
There's riddles in the shadows
They're thrown the way that I'd expect
And people never seem to know
What they least suspect is coming next
Well it seems like times elapsed
And I've stabbed life in the back
I'm searching for what it means
To never be anything
And I know now
It's the first time that was fun
Now from life I've resigned
When I feel I've got problems
How wrong I am
I'm awaiting life as another man
