This song represents the surprise in life, maybe a unwanted or unexpected situation. But the purpose of this video and the meaning behind it is portraying a positive message, as the lyrics say, 'I'll get by, I'll survive.' It represents a strong person dealing with chaos i.e the lyrics carry on, "When I fall and hit the ground, I will turn myself around, don't you try to stop me,' this shows that the person/ character is optimistic, positive and unstoppable with what they want to achieve.
Mise-en-scene within the video is focused on the fairy tale stories, as the title displays, 'Alice in wonder land', but it has a dark, eerie vibe instead a stereotypical positive, sweet, airy atmosphere.
The costume chosen is a black gothic flowing dress, this presents the character in two lights as one tells the viewer the characters personality, as it may be, innocent and feminine but with this appearance, it gives the female an edginess to her character as well as a darkness inside her.
The feelings portrayed in the video are mainly scared and lost and this is shown clearly to the viewer by including close ups of the character. Close-ups help to show expression and feeling; when another character is introduced half way though, it presents a stereotypical villian. The macro element of mise-en-scene makeup, is used a huge amount to get across the character is mad and rather insane.
The locations also helps to let the viewer understand what is going on and where the character may be heading.
Other mise-en-scene also includes surreal, unnatural make up, which describes a crazy nightmare.
