The video for this song is thought provoking. Does the meaning of the video correspond exactly to the song? I don't know. But it shows an attractive brunette idolizing a famous blonde whose persona is manufactured behind the scenes. The brunette's attempt to emulate backfires because her friends know she isn't being genuine. Meanwhile, the famous blonde's effort to appeal to fame similarly backfires, and in the end they have the same fate. So, is the TV in the video a metaphor for the telescope that needs turning around? Is it saying that believing what you see of stars on TV can distort one's perception of reality like a telescope can if you look through the wrong end, because in either case, you aren't seeing the whole picture? I am not sure if this is what the song is trying to say to, but in either case, I think its an excellent commentary on self-image.
