Since the band's inception, they had tweeted cryptic images, varying from smashed glass to flowers. The pictures culminated in an image of fire followed by the band tweeting that something would be there in "a few minutes" on May 14th 2010.
About 2 hours later, the video for The Space In Between was released via Pichfork Media. The following day, the band updated their website, YouTube and Vimeo profiles with a hi-definition (480p, 780p and 1080p) version of the video.
The guitar performance in this song was also featured prominently in an early teaser video which can be found here.

Video
Warning:Spoilers
The video, directed by Rupert Sanders (who is primarily known for creating video game advertisements) is set in a hotel room, and opens to the corridor outside. It cuts to a shot of an ajar door, and of an over-running sink, to show that something surprised the room. Once the vocals come in, we are given a shot of a recently-murdered (albeit singing) Bride (Mariqueen Reznor) sitting against a bed, surrounded with blood. Following close up shots show that a struggle had occurred, and show a long-burning candle near a stack of papers. A shot of another, unmoving, dead body, that of the Groom (Trent Reznor) in a pool of his own blood.
We are then shown a woman speaking on the phone, and a man (Atticus Ross) watching motorbike racing on the hotel's television. The video gives the implication that these are the killers, although no definitive answer is ever put forward. The video cuts to show the candle has ignited the stack of papers, and gives us the close up of the murdered man's face. We are also shown a knife, presumably the murder weapon (although the wound coming from the Bride's head could imply a gunshot wound).
The remainder of the video shows the spread of the fire engulfing the corpses and their half of the room, and the apparent nonchalance of the supposed murderers. The video also reveals that there is apparently another man in the bathroom, but only his feet and hands are ever seen. The video cuts out abruptly as the Bride and Groom are totally consumed by the fire.

Lyrics
THESE HAVE BEEN TRANSCRIBED BY EAR. ANY PERCEIVED ERRORS SHOULD BE EDITED IN UNTIL WE HAVE OFFICIAL LYRICS.
All our blood lying on the floor Sense the crowd expecting something more. Opened up, proudly on display, What we tried so hard to hide away Blinding light illuminates the scene Try to fill the spaces in between Arms entwined in a final pose Narrative drawing to a close Still remain the things we couldn't kill In your eyes I can see it still How we choose the framing of the scene Hate begins to spill across the screen Blinding light illuminates the scene Try to fill the spaces in between
