The music video for "The Kill (Bury Me)" by 30 Seconds to Mars tells a surreal story through visuals that match the lyrics about insanity. It is filmed like a movie with opening and closing credits. The video directly references the plot and themes of the horror film The Shining, transforming the song into a surreal cinematic narrative that applies Goodwin's theory by using visuals to represent the lyrics.
