Question!

Question! The video, for 3 minutes and 48 seconds, was fast, beautiful, and contained many scenes. It began with a boy, covered in white make-up, walking towards a gate. There are children playing around him, although they are only heard. The boy pulls out a slingshot and aims it towards a red bird. The guitar starts and the boy shoots. When the rock hits the bird, the heavy music starts.

The video is basically a play, revolving around a girl and a boy who meet in the forest. The girl is looking at the berries, a look of curiosity and possibly hunger. The boy hands her a batch of berries, urging her to eat them. When she does, she transforms into an adult, and spontaneously collapses. The boy, who appears to be her lover, sits by her. She is dead.

It is revealed at the very end that the entire play was a birthing mother's dream, and the last image is of her child. Although it is never heeded through the video, the lyrics to Question! tie into the video precisely, and some of the lyrics give the ending away.

The video actually has its own character, aided by the creepy looks from the guitarist, the boy, the bird, and the scenery itself. It is a dark video, but to a nice extent. It matches the lyrics to the song, basically showing you the song while you watch.

The video can be viewed here, and I would highly suggest it. It is beautiful and the music is even better, giving it just enough character to definitely put it on my favorites list.
