This is listed as the number one new wave song by this website so I thought I would check if it had a video so that I could analyse it. As you can see, it does have a video, so here is my analysis.
The fists banging on the table connect the visuals with the music. This is also quite an angry gesture which sets the scene for the aggressive music, the dark lyrics ('some people want to abuse you'), and the sinister visuals. The setting is a conference room which has it's dark connotations emphasized by the low key lighting. The table and chairs are black which connotes death and evil. The walls are red which connote danger and denote blood. We see a shadowy silhouette with a cane who also looks sinister. The silhouette is a link to the notion of looking.
