Flip the screen of the tube instead
Horror films in black and white
Pull the shades from day to night
I knew I was
Looking for thrills
I lose myself
I knew I was
Looking for thrills
I lose myself
Looking for thrills
My mind is full of video tape
Hit the streets so hard
Take your body in the night
My mind is full of video tape
Hit the streets so hard
Take your body in the night
When the moon comes out
I know where I wanna be
When the moon comes out
I know where I wanna be
Run the scene like a million times
Spinning out as the tension climbs
Horror films in black and white
Pull the shades from day to night
I knew I was
Looking for thrills
I lose myself
Looking for thrills
I knew I was
Looking for thrills
I lose myself
Looking for thrills
My mind is full of video tape
Hit the streets so hard
Take your body in the night
(Take your mind)
My mind is full of video tape
Hit the streets so hard
Take your body in the night
(Take your mind)
When the moon comes out
I know where I wanna be
When the moon comes out
I know where I wanna be
Run the scene like a million times
Spinning out as the tension climbs
Horror films in black and white
Pull the shades from day to night
I knew I was looking for thrills
(Hot inside like a middle school kid)
I lose myself, looking for thrills
(Flip the screen of the tube instead)
I knew I was looking for thrills
(Horror films in black and white)
I lose myself
Looking for thrills
My mind is full of video tape
Hit the streets so hard
Take your body in the night
(Take your mind)
My mind is full of video tape
Hit the streets so hard
Take your body in the night
(Take your mind)
My mind is full of video tape
Hit the streets so hard
Take your body in the night
(Take your mind)
My mind is full of video tape
Hit the streets so hard
Take your body in the night
(Take your mind)
When the moon comes out
I know where I wanna be
When the moon comes out
I know where I wanna be
When the moon comes out
I know where I wanna be
When the moon comes out
I know where I wanna be
My mind is full of video
My mind is full of video
My mind is full of video
My mind is full of video
I lose myself
(My mind is full of video)
I lose myself

The song Video by Morgan Page (feat. Tegan and Sara) seems to be an ode to the power of movies and how we can completely lose ourselves in them. The lyrics describe the feeling of being "hot inside like a middle school kid" and "looking for thrills" that can be found in the tension and excitement of a horror film, as symbolized by the black-and-white horror movies that are referenced throughout the song. This desire for thrill-seeking and adventure is further emphasized by the repeated lines "my mind is full of video tape, hit the streets so hard, take your body in the night" which suggest a sense of urgency and excitement.
The lyrics also touch on the idea of escapism, as the singer runs scenes "like a million times" and "pulls the shades from day to night", suggesting a desire to shut out the real world and become completely immersed in the movie experience. The repeated chorus of "When the moon comes out, I know where I wanna be" further emphasizes this idea of escaping into a world of darkness and fantasy.
Overall, the song Video seems to be about the power of movies to transport us to another world, to give us a sense of adventure, thrills, escapism, and excitement. It captures the magic and allure of black-and-white horror films and celebrates the way in which movies can completely consume us.

This is waaaay better than bodywork I agree. So catchy! Love how Sara basically dominates it for once.

I feel like Tegan for being the composer of most of the singles gets the attention often, but Jesus when Sara does her thing is something magical and special
