Music Video

Wiki

Synopsis

A construction worker moves through a stylized city and pauses when he encounters a group of mime artists performing in the street. After tossing them a coin, he is drawn into an unexpected, electrifying spectacle. The video shifts between live-action performance, full animation, and motion graphics, creating a dark, gothic, cartoon-like atmosphere that mirrors the song's edgy electro sound. Rather than following a conventional narrative, it presents the band as part of a strange theatrical world where street performance, surreal imagery, and animated intervention collide.
