It's interesting that they chose a very different type of bruise for the video, I'm not quite sure why.....any ideas?

I'm not entirely sure what it's meaning is. I like the theories about being judged on what you wear, but I can't see how it's said in the song. Perhaps I'm just stupid with these things.

Yes, it's about pressure to conform image-wise. I think the video contains giving each other lovebites because it represents the juxtaposition of the song title. The models in the video are all very beautiful and pristine and bruises (and indeed lovebites) are not very physically becoming.

Apparently this song is about being beaten up for what you wear or what you look like. That's why Brian Molko recorded it naked, which I think was very dark and witty.
