Missile (song)
Encyclopedia
"Missile" is a song by IAMX from the album Kiss + Swallow. It was released as a single in 2005.
There have been two music videos released for "Missile." One consists almost entirely of an upside down, overhead shot of Corner in a bathtub, with his head underwater and a strip of tape over his mouth. Over the course of the video, the message written on the tape changes from 'LOVE ME' to 'HATE ME' to 'HELP ME' as a hand appears in shot and forces his head to stay under. The second features Corner's girlfriend at the time, Sue Denim (musician) of the band Robots in Disguise
and, in keeping with IAMX's music, is highly erotic, featuring S&M and bondage, with Denim as a dominatrix
of sorts, with Corner at her mercy. The video ends with her giving him a glowing capsule and forcing him to swallow it, at the same time as the lyric "You're taking my life away" is sung.
It has been released as a promo single.
