Yep this is one of my favourites on the album. The video is a little too Lady Gaga for my liking, although the costumes are really good. I would have liked it if the video was more about the themes in this song.
Anyway about the song meaning, it's very self-explanatory, it's about falling out of love with your partner. "adverts in between" could suggest it's more specific, and that it's about someone who works in TV a lot and so does not spend enough time with the narrator any more.
But yeah I love the imagery that comes with this song; the idea that the couple breaking up is a shield and a sword is a good idea. Clare's got some skill, although most of the songs on Light After Dark can be too vague lyrically, this shows she's a promising artist, and musically, I love the album. The songs are full on alternative pop, and her voice is unyielding yet beautiful.
I'm pretty sure the video was supposed to be a parody of Gaga and Katy Perry (maybe others, too, but I didn't recognize 'em). 'Katy' and 'Gaga' are both in the vid.
