The video is black and white and grainy, skipping
from time to time like an old movie reel. Throughout
the video none of the words of the song match up to
what billy is mouthing and other people in the band
take over talking at times.
Before the song starts the band is in a little room
with a low celing (billy can touch the top with no
trouble) one wall is completely filled with writing,
another on the opposite side is replaced completly
with a window.
The song starts and the band stands around mouthing
things that don't go with the words like "who cares"
or "why love me". When it gets to "when will i see
her again" the camera cuts outside to a woman holding
a rose, standing on the street, just looking up.
Back to the little room where Billy is still
mouthing words to the camera until the woman catches
his eye. He presses his hands to the window and looks
down longingly at the woman. He mouthes something to
the effect of "love me" but the woman only looks down
to the rose.
Whe it gets to "she'll never listen again" Billy
seems to not stand it any longer and he goes to the
writing was and scribbles at it wildly. Meanwhile the
rest of the band is also trying to communicate with
the woman. The woman only cups her hands around the
rose.
Finally, at "life just fades away" Billy turns with
the rest of the band to the window. The woman pulls
one of the petals off the rose, looks up with her
mascara streaming down her face and crushed the rose.
"dust to dust" ends with billy shrinking to the
fetel position on the window while the rest of the
band turns away.
