Placebo – “Taste in Men”

The video is about a love triangle depicted by the 3 of Swords. The video begins with a woman placing Tarot cards onto a table then a camera shot of the last row of cards ending with the 2 of Swords and to the left The Lovers. The singer is caught up in a never-ending cycle of watching his lover with another man, then getting back together with her but then the other lover comes around…

Upon awakening, was it all a dream or a hangover?

The follies of a fool’s journeys.

“All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts”

(Shakespeare, As You Like It Act 2, scene 7, 139–143)
