I really liked this video, it fit the song perfectly, telling not to judge and point the blame on other people. It did remind me a bit of Ariana Grande and Mika's Popular Song video, though which gives it four stars.
The video starts with Hayley in her car seeming a bit upset or angry.
She gets out and walks down towards a trap door, which she goes down.
The next bit shows her in a dark room, with photographs on the ground. She continues to walk, and gets to a room where *gasp* her fellow paramore members are tied up with rope! She sings the hook of the song at them angrily as they look down.
Then she has a microscope and is looking at them and just holding it up.
The next scene shows her at a tea party.
She pours tea for her guests, who are all happy, and chattering away. The other members of Paramore are seen there as well, and this part fades into her singing at them again. Back at the tea party again, something Hayley sees is shown close up- but too close, I couldn't see what it was. The other Paramore members start to look a little odd, and as the other guests leave they fall unconscious on the table.
Hayley is shown in a flashback putting something in their drinks and as she sings "I'll point you to the mirror" she is shown looking in a mirror that is on a wall of many other mirrors, which is also the back cover of their album Brand New Eyes, minus Hayley.
More singing, this time with her fellow band members, as Hayley (who, by the way is looking fabulous with pink hair) kicks ropes around. Hayley then leaves, and as she walks up to the trapdoors entrance, her band members plead to be released, yet again on ropes. She shows them no mercy though, and closes the door.
