Pierce the veil 'King for a day' Goodwin Theory


Pierce the veil king for a day – Goodwin

Whenever the chorus of the song is playing within ‘king for a day’ the band is usually put onto the screen showing them playing their instruments and the lead singer singing towards the camera.

When the beat picks up within the music the scene takes a more intense perspective, moving from two bank workers to people robbing a bank together.

The lyric “You told me think about it well I did” May possibly show a meaning towards the narrative of Vic and his Kellin robbing the bank, showing that he has thought about this plan for a long period of time, considering whether or not to run the plan.

The notion of looking towards the bank manager gives the impression that he is a tyrant within the workplace, for instance within the opening of the music video it shows the bank manager happily telling the Kellin and Vic that they are going to have to work overtime along with cutting some of the workers’ pay checks for a while.

When the scene changes towards the ‘Gang’ area, it shows the individuals within the area dressed in stereotypical gangster clothing, wearing tank tops and wearing baggy trousers etc whilst also showing Vic in his formal wear showing the difference between the two people.

The structure of this music video shows a bank workplace being put under a dictatorship by the manager by him cutting pay checks and forcing workers to work overtime (Presumably for his own financial gain) which eventually leads to the workers including Kellin and Vic to fake a bank robbery, making it seem as a real robbery so that they are able to take the money from the bank and distribute the money amongst the workers and also the people who helped to stage the fake robbery.
