The video starts with "Tonight Tonight" playing out of a radio in a messy
bedroom. A girl (very young girl, 8 or 9, but is dressed like an adult and
there are no toys in her room, she is bruised and looks like she's been
crying) walks in, looking out the window, then leaning her head against it.
She turns the radio off. *And the embers never fade, in my city by the lake, the place where I was born...* The girl crawls into bed and shuts her eyes. *As the wind-up toys wind down, muffling the sound of a life hidden underground...* Cut to the girl's dream. A boy (wide-eyed, blond haired, innocent, probably gets beat up every day, looks about 12 or 13) appears before her. He has a gold collar and white feathery wings that are attached by gold machines. *Believe...believe in me..believe, believe...* She looks up, and the light around his head makes a halo effect. He nods to her and she steps a little closer. *That you can change, that you're not stuck in vain....You're not the same, you're different tonight...* Cut to a shot of the landscape of her dream. It is blacklit, full of pipes, broken-down walls, and windows showing a rainy night and a junkyard outside. Another girl is outside playing in the junkyard. The girl and the "angel" are just looking at each other, mesmerised. *Tonight, tonight...Crucify the insincere tonight, tonight, we'll make things right, we'll feel it all tonight, tonight...* The girl steps up to the "angel" and he reaches out and puts a hand on her face. He whispers something ("Don't be afraid" or something of the like) and pulls her close. She looks up at him and a peaceful smile grows on her face. *The impossible is possible tonight...* He kisses her forehead and wraps his wings around her. Believe in me as like I believe in you tonight...* Cut back to the girl sleeping. She is smiling now.
As the song fades out, cut to another bedroom, this one belonging to the boy
in the dream (without the wings or machines). The boy looks out the window
in the same way the girl did before she went to sleep. Before the last note
of the song, the boy turns off his radio and sits on his bed. The video
fades there.
