• The video shows a naked woman with a wound in her stomach chucking animals down a hole which is infested by some kind of carnivorous insects. The size of the animal that she throws into the hole gets bigger every consecutive time; first it's a lizard, second, it's a small snake, third, its a bigger animal which looks like an iguana, and finally, a python. After each time the insects in the hole devour the animal, the hole in the woman's stomach gets bigger. The insects in the hole might signify the drug, or the craving for the drug as a whole. The size of the animal might symbolize the size of the craving, the need of the drug - you start with little amounts and you move on up. The increasing size of the hole in her stomach might show how the drug slowly kills us. As in the video, the woman eventually succumbs to her own wound and falls into the hole, which shows that the craving for the drug is what eventually might kill you in the end. >>
