--------------------------------  

We first see a panning shot of an apartment or hotel from the outside, an older fashion kind. Why older fashion with green plants growing out of it? I'll explain this later. Once inside the building, first Anais takes us into it and we see her singing to the camera, "Won't someone tell me what is happenin to me" And then we see Anais looking around as if curious, which gives us the feeling she's somewhat lost, but wants to explore, as she goes on, "Why am I so missunderstood". And then we see a panning shot with an image of a portrait of an old man in the background above her, which represents a guardian or her dad always watching over her. Dads often missunderstand their daughters inner feelings and desires, and the daughter can feel over protected or feels they may have to hold back their urges cause of guilt or what their dad's expectations of them, which can cause confusion in a girls life. And seconds later, she sings "Why can't they see". The "they" represents the boys, because right after she says that, an image of a boy is seen sitting on the rail of the stairs above her. Then Anais goes, "now I'm caught between the devil and the angel that I used to be" which means Anais is stuck between being daddy's little angel and the devilish temptations to explore boys. The room spins around her like she's caught in this whirlpool of feelings and emotions.

Then Faye's scene comes next. We see Faye in a black dress trapped in a cage on what looks like a big bed. She sings, "They say I'll understand it all in good time" as the scene focuses on her grabbing the lock of the cage, and then we see an image of the key to the lock around her neck. This represents that a girl does have the key to open herself to the world or to the opposite sex, but many girls keep themselves locked in a cage, despite that. She is torn because of either guilt or societies image of a girl her age, but she is fustrated as she sings "But age ain't nothin' but a number in my mind." So many girls feel like they're old enough, and sociey often uses age to identify a girl's maturity. Faye continues to sing, "Goin crazy with this push me pull me, caught between the wrong and right" as we see Faye staring at a guy between the bars of the cage. The cage represents her inhibitions(restraining herself from acting upon her desires). But again, she does have the key, she has that choice to open herself up anytime.

The chorus comes on next as we see Play singing in the mics, and Faye ends the chorus by saying "booooooooyyyyssss" as she grabs the key, which indicates she wants to either give in to her desires or she's saying, 'look, i have the key and it's up to me.'

Next we see Anais singing as she is chasing the boys up the stairs, she sings... "I started writing down my deepest secrets, Seven days a week of truth and fantasy, Got the feelin' that the way my life is, Got to be prepared for changes" indicates that the boy's aren't really ghosts or this place is haunted. She is haunted by her own thoughts. The boys are her fantasies, and she is imagining them.

Next we see Faye still stuck in her own cage, singing, "Won't someone tell me what is happenin' to me, Why am I so missunderstood, Why can't they see?" As she sees the image of a boy on the other side of the cage again. Her hair is half way across her face which represents her half shyness and the other half looking out, but her body language is now very obvious, leaning on the cage, grabbing on to it, scraping it with her fingers, like an animal yearning to get out. She goes on to sing, "Now I'm caught between the devil and the angel that I used to be" As she can't take it anymore and sticks the key into the lock's hole, she has made her choice. I thought it might have been someone else putting the key into the hole, but it's Faye cause I see the black nail polish.

Now the chorus goes on with them singing on the mics, we see a close up on the girls, on Rosie with this rebellious look as if she's fustrated being held back. And then we see her writing down "I must not chase the boys" on a tablet. She is caught between the same thing Faye and Anais are, just by her actions. You see Rosie with one leg covered up and her other leg very exposed with ripped stockings. This is another representation like Faye's hair covering oneside of her face and the other side open. Again, these images represent the fight between the angel and devil.

Getting back to Rosie, you see the room around Rosie messed up, pages torn like a tornado came in their and ripped everything up as she sits on old fasion chairs and tables. Remember I mentioned I'll get to the older fashion building. I'll bring it up now. The old fashion style in the room is a representation to the old ways of thinking, like how girls have to wait till marriage or be adults before they can have fun and open up to boys. This hotel room Rosie is in(in fact all the girls are in) are in an old fashion style. We even see the books ripped up in Rosie's room. Often times books are great, but nothing can take the place of real experience. Rosie is fustrated, it was no tornado, she sings with fustrations and turmoil, it is her that has ripped everything in the room, she doesn't want to just learn from books or write on a tablet, and just like Faye and Anais, she wants to open herself up to the real thing.

Next we see Anna, as she sings, "They can try to make me write a thousand lies, But that won't ever change the way I feel inside" as we see her writing, what really does look like a thousand times in the room. What she is saying is that even though they tell her she should not chase boys, she doesn't feel that way, okay, that was obvious, but again, it's another seen representing the fustration, actually, for Anna, it's more sadness as she croutches down in a ball like position in a dark room writing. Maybe her scene was more filled with loneliness rather than fustration like the other girls since she is the youngest and doesn't have as much urges like the other girls. Then you see, I never caught this the first few times I watched it, but a boy's hand come from behind and swipes the back of Anna's hair, as she quickly looks behind, the song goes on "They've got their opinions but I just don't care" Anna sees no one behind her. Again, like Anais, she is imagining the boys.

The chorus goes on again, and we see Rosie leaving her room as the torn papers on the ground scatters, and Rosie looks out the door, as we see the scene is less dark with more light and color represented by the green plants and sunlight. And then we see Faye out of her cage, running after the boys and the green plants are around her. Why green plants? I feel they represent newness, a growth, something with feeling and aliveness, an openness to nature. As Faye runs, their are bits and pieces of sticks or maybe parts of the cage or something on the ground. And we see Anais chasing the boys as they dissappear in thin air. We see the green plants again growing out of old fashion type ceramic vases on the sides of her. The old fashion vases may represent again of the old ways or even maybe the girl's old selves, and the green plants represents again the newness or growth out of the old.

In conclusion.........
The video brings up many images that represents the meaning of the song. They say "The moral of the story, is I got no choice, I must not chase the boys." But I don't think the title is meant to be taken literally, just like how you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover. This song I feel represents a moral dilemma of a girl's bridge between what she used to be and the changes of what she is becoming. How it can be an emotional battle for a girl by what society or guardians/parents expect from her, but despite all that, it doesn't take away the fact of what she feels for her own needs and desires.
