Including a Relationship between the Lyrics and the visuals.

Throughout my music video I want to show a relationship between the lyrics and the visuals, therefore i have decided to focus on the lyrics from my track:

uh
uh c'mon
watch out
uh c'mon
oh oh.....

Gave you chances on top of chances
Opportunities taken for granted
My reality is all your exshalities
Cause insanity
Why you askin'me?
Took my kindness for a sign of weakness
My own blindness cause my sadness
No longer am a slave over your madness
I am glad it's finally over

Who do you think you are now?
I can't believe you've got the nerve boy
Who do you think you are now?
I can't believe you've got the nerve boy

See I'm tired of all the games
That you seem to like to play
See what you can do for me
Is forget you knew my name
See your qualities are less than pleasing
I got more than one reason for leaving
It's time to close shop, open new chapters
See new beginnings is what I'm after
Get your skeletons up out my closet
Don't make me lose it, I just might lose it

Who do you think you are now? (Yeah)
I can't believe you've got the nerve boy (Can't believe)
Who do you think you are now? (Yeah yeah)
I can't believe you've got the nerve boy (Yeah babe)

Who do you think you are now? (Who do you think you are)
I can't believe you've got the nerve boy (Yeah yeah yeah)
Who do you think you are now?
I can't believe you've got the nerve boy

See I'm tired of all the games
That you seem to like to play
See what you need to do is forget you knew my name
I'm a play ya to you've left
Cause you talkin' me to death
See I ain't even sad that I'm here all by myself

Who do you think you are now?
I can't believe you've got the nerve boy (Yeah yeah)
Who do you think you are now?
I can't believe you've got the nerve boy (Yeah yeah)

Who do you think you are now?
I can't believe you've got the nerve boy (Yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Who do you think you are now?
I can't believe you've got the nerve boy (Yeah yeah)

Oh oh
Yeah yeah
Oh oh
You've got the nerve boy
Oh oh
Yeah yeah
You've got the nerve boy (Got the nerve boy)
You've got the nerve boy

The first verse imediatley shows us that this is an inpowering song. "No longer am a slave over your madness I am glad it's finally over." The female artist is glad to be rid of the 'ex-lover' she is referring to. Therefore I will need to include a male, in order to maintain a relationship between between the lyrics and the visuals. The artist is obviously angry, I picture having the female pushing the male away, with her 'diva' attitude.
A music video, with an R'n'B genre, which contains similar ideas to mine is Rhiana's 'Take A Bow'. Although this song is slower than mine, the general idea of the narrative element is what I am aiming to achieve! 



Another video which shows a similar narrative is Beyonce's song 'Irreplaceable' This also follows the R'n'B genre. 


I plan to take inspiration from both of these examples whilst filming my own music video. The lyrics from both songs relate to my track therefore I believe including a similar narrative would work well!
