Chelsea Smile: Not So Innocent After All
Music Video Delves into Darker Meaning of Popular Song
By [Your Name]
Bring Me the Horizon's popular song "Chelsea Smile" has taken on a sinister new meaning thanks to the release of an official music video that explores the song's gruesome inspiration.
The video, directed by Patrick Casey and Edelweiss, depicts the creation of a "Chelsea grin," a facial scar inflicted by slicing a person's cheeks from the corners of their mouth to their ears. This savage act, also known as a "Glasgow smile," has a horrifying history as a tool of violence and intimidation.
In the video, the band members perform the song while intercut with graphic footage of the procedure. The disturbing imagery serves as a stark reminder of the pain and suffering inflicted by this cruel practice.
While the video's content is not suitable for all viewers, it has sparked important conversations about the song's dark undertones. The band has expressed its desire to expose the horrors of violence through this artistic medium.
You can watch the full music video on YouTube. A full setlist of Bring Me the Horizon's May 28, 2022 performance is also available on Setlistfm.
