"Useless" The Music Video

Mike: So your Shinji Ikari?
Shinji: ...
Mike: You really are the silent type, the exact oposite of Chester.
Chester: I heard that!
Shinji: ...
Deejay: So, um Rei...want to go out some time?
Rei: ...
Deejay: Why aren't these characters saying anything?
Sound Tenchnician: Well, either they're in inner-thought...or the voice-over guys haven't arrived yet.
Voice Over Guys (at once): Sorry we're late!
Deejay: So what about that question I just asked you?
Rei: I'll think about it...
Deejay: Yahoo.com!
Chester: So is Shinji here gonna talk or what?
Shinji: ...
Mike: Waddaya know, he still ain't talking. Hey, Shinji voice over guy, what's going on?
Shinji's Voiceover: He's thinking...
Deejay: Well put on the thinking transmitter!
Thinking Transmitter Tenchinican: Well, I have to channel it through you guys...
Deejay: Why?
Technician: Because that's the point of the whole music video thing...
Deejay: Oh yeah! I forgot, we go into his thoughts and like...sing and stuff...we're Gendo Ikari?
Technician: In the green screen room, where you all should be.
(They all move off, Shinji follows, his head low...)
Technician: No, you stay here...
Shinji: Okay...
(He stands there, a chair comes up, a spotlight shines on him, he sits down and puts his head in his hands. We zoom into his head...and we fade into the inside, where he is still sitting, but surrounded by memories and people he knows, plus of course Deejay Gamer, Mike Shinoda, and Chester. They begin to sing as the memories come to life in the background.)

[Mike]
I live without love
[Deejay]
I live without hate
[Mike]
I live without caring
[Deejay]
I live without sharing
I live without living
[Mike]
So much taken
Not much given
[Deejay]
I live
[Mike]
But why
[Deejay]
I live
[Mike]
I'd rather die
Because

(Shinji falls off the chair and into a void, he continues his decent as memories fly by and Chester stands to the side of the falling Shinji)

[Chester]
I can never live the way I want to
I'm useless
So useless

Everything I do is to please you
I'm useless
Just useless

(Shinji falls down, Chester continues moving down, Shinji sees Gendo and Rei talking with a spotlight on them in the distance as Mike and Deejay pop into the foreground)

[Mike]
You love her more than me
Now I can never feel free
[Deejay]
I just can't please you
You wont get a clue
[Mike]
You use me
[Deejay]
Abuse me
[Mike]
But I don't care
[Deejay]
Even though this burden
Feels like too much to bear
Now with all you've put me through
[Mike]
I hate you! I hate you! I hate you!

(We xtreme zoom into Gendo, then zoom out to see Chester)

[Chester]
You thought you could abandon me
Now I'm useless
So useless

Now you take advantage of me
But I'm useless
Just useless

(Shinji runs, memories zipping past, Mike and Deejay spin around in the foreground)

[Mike]
Why do you make me feel this way?
Like I just can't stand another day?
[Deejay]
I want to be loved
I want someone to care
[Mike]
I don't like to be shoved
Not here, not anywhere
[Deejay]
I live
[Mike]
But why
[Deejay]
I live
[Mike]
I'd rather die
[Deejay]
I live
[Mike]
And I cry
[Deejay]
I live
[Mike]
I wonder why

(Mike and Deejay spin and disapear, the cycle of the spin finishes and Chester comes around)

[Chester]
Why I can never live the way I want to
I'm useless
So useless

Why everything I do is to please you
I'm useless
Just useless

Why you thought you could abandon me
Now I'm useless
So useless

And now you take advantage of me
But I'm useless
Just useless

(They all stand in a spotlight as we switch between shots of them singing and Shinji looking like he's about to lose control, standing in front of a mirror, instead of his reflection, he sees his father in the mirror)

[Mike]
I'm not getting anywhere at this rate
Now I'm finding that it's you I hate
[Deejay]
I'm not getting anywhere at this rate
Now I'm finding that it's you I hate

[Chester]
I'm not getting anywhere at this rate
Now I'm finding that it's you I hate
[Deejay]
I hate!
[Mike]
I hate!
I'm not getting anywhere at this rate
Now I'm finding that it's you I hate
[Deejay]
It's you that I hate!

(Shinji punches the mirror and it shatters into a million pieces. We see his hand is now bloodied)

[Chester]
Maybe I'm letting this get to my head
I'm useless
Just useless

Somehow I think I'm better off dead
Because I'm useless
So useless
[Deejay & Chester]
I'm useless...

(We zoom out and see Shinji raise his head, a tear going down his check, we fade to black...)
