!!!"Holding Out for These Tropes":
* {{Cowboy}}: There are outlaw cowboys dressed in black, and a good cowboy dressed in white, and all of them ride on horseback.
* DamselInDistress: Bonnie is quite the proverbial one in Western style, calling out to the angels for help and invoking them to send a KnightInShiningArmor to save her.
* EvilWearsBlack: The evil outlaw cowboys dress up in black and threaten her.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: At the beginning of the video, Bonnie sings, "Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?" Minutes later, her question is answered... in the form of a white-clad hero cowboy on a white steed.
** Also, his appearance is portrayed in a picture frame foreshadowing his arrival about a second before she takes it.
* ForTheEvulz: These outlaw cowboys burn down Bonnie's house and attack her just for fun.
* FreezeFrameBonus: Blink and you miss it, but there is a picture frame that shows a monochrome picture of a cowboy in white seconds before Bonnie takes it in her bedroom---a {{Foreshadowing}} of the proverbial KnightInShiningArmor.
* GoldAndWhiteAreDivine: The angelic backup singers dance around wearing white dresses with a bit of gold around the collars and the edges.
* GoodColorsEvilColors: The hero cowboy on a white horse and the angels represent good and wear white, while the outlaw cowboys and their black horses represent evil and wear black.
* HellishHorse: The demonic outlaw cowboys ride on these black horses in their battle with the angelic white cowboy.
* HollywoodDarkness: While the night is totally black when Bonnie's house burns up, the MountedCombat between the two cowboy types has the night being lit in blue by the full moon, and shadows are still strongly apparent.
* HorsebackHeroism: The white cowboy KnightInShiningArmor rides a white horse in his effort to rescue Bonnie.
* HouseFire: The video starts with Bonnie's house being set on fire, and Bonnie runs out to escape the imminent destruction.
* KnightInShiningArmor: In this case, a heroic cowboy knight in angelic white armor on a white horse, which is also mentioned in the song.
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: What's unusual is that the outlaws' neon whips are enough to start a fire. Who knows?
* MountedCombat: It's the white hero cowboy on a white horse vs. the black outlaws on black horses. And the white cowboy shoots the black riders one by one.
* MusicVideoOvershadowing: Song: A woman desperately waits for a hero to rescue her and love her in return. Video: Bonnie's house gets set on fire by demonic {{outlaw}} {{cowboy}}s, and she escapes from her home and gets surrounded by these cowboys and calls for help, invoking the angel choirs to help her hold out until an angelic hero cowboy arrives on horseback to drive the outlaw cowboys away.
* OurAngelsAreDifferent: These female angels wear white, and they invoke a choir of angelic singing for a cowboy hero to show up.
* {{Outlaw}}: The demonic cowboys are quite the bunch in burning down Bonnie's house and threatening her with [[WhipItGood neon whips]].
* PreciousPhoto: The photo that Bonnie takes from the nightstand in her bedroom is that of a white-clad hero cowboy, indicating that she is anticipating his return from far away.
* RevolversAreJustBetter: The hero cowboy's revolver is definitely better than the outlaws' neon whips, and it is enough to shoot these riders off their {{hellish horse}}s one by one.
* TheWestern[=/=]TheWildWest: The main setting for the music video.
