Synopsis

Gonjasufi wanders through an abandoned, sun-bleached Los Angeles, pushing a shopping cart and moving through streets stripped of ordinary life. Traffic lights, buildings, and scattered urban objects appear damaged, deserted, or burning, creating the impression of a city after an unspecified catastrophe. His solitary journey mirrors the song's themes of guilt, self-reproach, and spiritual exhaustion. Shot in a stark, dreamlike style, the video turns familiar Los Angeles locations into a hostile wasteland where the performer is left alone with his thoughts.
