How does the mise-en-scene of The Killers ‘For Reasons Unknown’ add to the meaning of the video?

For reasons unknown is a concept ad performing video, mainly concept. The lack of make up in the video gives the idea that the band members are natural. This contrast with all other aspects of the video that are so obviously fake and unrealistic, or abnormal, such as wearing sunglasses at night and suits in the desert. The costumes could link with the title and symbolize confusion. The band wearing suits in the desert is an odd thing to do and possibly they don’t know why they’re doing it - ‘for reasons unknown’. The props could relate back to the lyrics. “I’m not who I used to be” (or something along those lines) could relate to the idea of the desert being dead and old – reinforced by the close ups of an animal skull, symbolizing his past/old self.
This contrasts with the video of Nicole Scherzinger and 50cent which appears to have no hidden message or concept. The bland backgrounds contrast with her bright clothes so Nicole is the focus of the video.
