Music Video
A music video directed by David Slade was released shortly after the single's release. According to the Fuse TV program IMX, the video is similar to Slade's previously directed music video, "Sour Girl" by Stone Temple Pilots, featuring a strange environment and human-sized rabbit characters as well. The music video is similar to Lewis Carroll's novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, featuring a little girl that follows a rabbit into an alternate reality.
It features the band performing in an alley, where a girl follows a pink human-sized rabbit to an alternate reality. The band are seen performing in the location as well. The location is mostly made up of the color pink, featuring a pink sky, pink flower petals encircling the area, and the girl is dressed and pink as well. The band are shown performing in the alley again, covered in black paint. Meanwhile, in the alternate reality, the girl continues to follow the rabbit until it leads her to the top of a hill, where she sees AFI performing the chorus. Although she seems happy, she is devastated after realizing the pink rabbit has disappeared. A whirlwind of pink flower petals begin to encircles her, and although she struggles to set herself free, she disappears, leaving behind her pair of golden ballet slippers. The pink flower petals then burst out of vocalist Davey Havok's chest at the end of the video.
An alternate version simply features the band performing in the alley and covered in black paint, but does not feature the girl, human-sized rabbits, or the alternate reality itself. This is the more infamous version, and is often found on the Internet, rather than broadcast television.

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or video:
“Franceska: I was happy in the life I built up for myself. I put a fine high wall of music around me and nothing could touch me. I was safe and secure. And then you had to come along and knock it all down and I hate you for that.
Maxwell: On the contrary, you love me.”
—Muriel Box (b. 1905)
“It is among the ranks of school-age children, those six- to twelve-year-olds who once avidly filled their free moments with childhood play, that the greatest change is evident. In the place of traditional, sometimes ancient childhood games that were still popular a generation ago, in the place of fantasy and make- believe play . . . today’s children have substituted television viewing and, most recently, video games.”
—Marie Winn (20th century)
