Synopsis

I See Stars perform "3D" in a stylized, effects-heavy setting where live-action shots of the band are surrounded by shifting colors, geometric forms, and digital distortions. The visuals move between performance footage and abstract imagery, matching the song's blend of electronic textures, clean vocals, and aggressive screams. Rather than following a literal storyline, the video creates a restless, futuristic atmosphere that reflects the track's themes of waking up, rejecting false appearances, and breaking free from manipulation.
