Katy Perry's "Bandaids" Video Depicts Harrowing Near-Death Experiences

In the past year, pop star Katy Perry has been reflecting on the end of her marriage to actor Orlando Bloom. This emotional journey is captured in her new single "Bandaids," which was released just last week.

The song's lyrics convey a sense of regret and unresolved feelings, with Perry singing "It's not what you did, it's what you didn't. You were there, but you weren't." This sentiment is further explored in the music video, directed by Christian Breslauer, which depicts Perry's character experiencing a series of harrowing near-death experiences.

From narrowly avoiding electrocution to surviving a car crash, the video paints a vivid picture of the anxiety and uncertainty Perry has faced in the aftermath of her divorce. However, despite these traumatic encounters, the video ends with Perry finding a moment of calm as she spots a white daisy growing from the ground - a symbol of the resilience and self-reflection she has gained.

Ultimately, the video concludes with Perry causing an explosion at a gas station, as she listens to the empowering chorus of her previous single "Woman's World." This powerful imagery suggests that while the end of her marriage has been emotionally taxing, Perry is determined to move forward and embrace a new chapter in her life.
