The single 's release was ill-timed , coming out shortly before the 9/11 Terrorist attack . The video was released just barely before the 9/11 Terrorist attack . The imagery in the video focused around a disturbed man in a small room and the band playing in front of a backdrop which switches back and forth between a city skyline and flames , with the flames superimposed over the skyline towards the end of the video . In fear that this could be viewed as insensitive after the tragic 9/11 attacks , the music video was subsequently banned from MTV due to its depiction of falling buildings . The video can be seen as an enhanced feature on the actual single and YouTube
