Not Good Enough for Truth In Cliché

Not Good Enough for Truth In Cliché is the second single by post-hardcore band Escape the Fate. It is the tenth track on their first full length album, Dying Is Your Latest Fashion. The song is usually interpreted to be about murdering a lover. A demo version and music video were also recorded previous to their album release.

The video for the song begins in a setting called the Capulet Cafe, the first of many references to Shakespeare's play Romeo And Juliet. The camera then pans to a girl, presumably the Juliet the song speaks of, drinking from a small vial, as the band begins to play in an abandoned room, which we soon learn, via a flashback, is the now empty Capulet Cafe, which the band previously played at, on Juliet's birthday. Juliet appears to be a waitress at the cafe. Throughout the video, Ronnie and Juliet share glances, and even begin to kiss, during the second chorus, before Juliet's birthday cake is delivered. During the breakdown of the song, Ronnie is sitting in the closed Capulet Cafe, before it has been abandoned, and Juliet appears, and subsequently begins to throw things, flip tables, and cause damage to the cafe, while arguing with Ronnie. As the breakdown ends, one of them drops what appears to be an airline ticket, and Juliet produces a vial of red liquid. Ronnie drinks the liquid, kisses Juliet, and they walk off hand in hand, to lie on the floor.
