Sometimes it (really) hurts

Over time I'm realizing just how severely growing up without cable deprived me as a child. In high school one of my favorite bands was Stabbing Westward -- Darkest Days was an excellent record, and their self-titled one, after which they broke up, never got the props it deserved. All they did was whine about how mean women were, and how much they hated themselves for not getting more women, and I related.
I always thought their best song was "Sometimes it Hurts." I especially loved the climactic, self-deprecating bridge, set to one of the weariest melodies I've ever heard: "And after all this time, you'd think / I'd understand the way you feel / But no / I only think about myself / And it's driving you away / I always knew it would one day."
But finally seeing the music video, I have to ask: What's with the midgets? And the crane that drops the lead singer on his face? Confusing times, those teenage years.
