Synopsis
Meg Myers performs in a stark bedroom-like setting while an unseen lover moves around her, touches her, and responds to her physical and emotional intensity. The invisible presence gives the encounter a supernatural quality, turning desire into something both intimate and unsettling. Childlike details, including cartoons playing on television, a teddy bear sweatshirt, socks, and underwear, contrast with the video's overtly sexual atmosphere. As the encounter grows more intense, the boundary between affection, fantasy, and menace becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish.
Factoids & Trivia
- The video premiered through Noisey on January 14, 2014, shortly before the release of Myers' *Make a Shadow* EP on February 7, 2014.
- Myers said the concept was developed collaboratively by her team. The idea of making the sexual partner invisible was chosen because it felt more powerful than casting a visible man.
- The contrast between dark sexuality and innocent imagery was deliberate. Myers connected the combination to the tension between wholesome and darker parts of life.
- The production was completed in a single day, according to Myers. She later described the shoot as strange and difficult because of the video's deliberately uncomfortable tone.
- Myers said that a former boyfriend ended their relationship after struggling with the video's darkness and sexual content.
- The song itself was not intended by Myers to be only about sex. She described it as an expression of vulnerability and a deeper emotional feeling that was difficult to explain directly.
