Video Review - Better Than I Know Myself

It's a tale of two Adams in Mr. Lambert's newest video. I know you guys are probably getting tired of me talking about this guy, but this video is so good. I can't let this one go un-reviewed. I just can't. Ugh. Let's just get on with it, shall we?

Let's start out with Dark Adam. This version of Adam represents his darker side. He may be sexier in this version (in my opinion), but he has a lot of vices. He drinks, he sets stuff on fire, and he doesn't seem to care about anybody but himself. Everybody has this version of themselves, the selfish one.

I like dark, brooding guys.

The other version of him, Light Adam, is exactly the opposite. He meditates, doesn't drink, and keeps everything neat and tidy. He may be a little more reserved, but he still has his appeal. He is the essential good boy.

Please don't cry, baby.

 The main chunk of the video is spent showing the extreme difference between the two Adams. It is revealed mid way that the two actually can see each other. Light Adam is often very distraught by what is going on with Dark Adam. Dark Adam shows no regard for his actions or care that he is causing his twin such distress.

It's like looking in a mirror. A really messed up mirror.

In the end, Dark Adam recklessly sets fire to the room, depleting their shared oxygen and killing them both. The video ends with a scene of a single Adam walking down a barren street. This time, he is a good mix of both light and dark.

Is it weird I have a thing for guys with two different eye colors?

The real meaning behind this video is balance. You cannot be too extreme one way or another. If you are too good, you will live a life in regret of what could have been; if you go over the top with being bad, you will end up destroying yourself. Balance is what every person needs to achieve, and it can be difficult to do so. Now, if only I could just connect this theory a little more solidly with the lyrics...

Double your Adam, double your fun!

BONUS:

Dark Adam drinks vodka. Light Adam drinks tea.

Now complete with totally realistic fire!

HNNNGGGG SO ADORABLE!
