Synopsis

Meg Myers performs in a stark, shadowy setting as the video gradually turns an intimate confession into a frightening psychological breakdown. At first, she appears vulnerable and restrained, singing directly to the camera with an uneasy calm. As the song intensifies, her movements become increasingly erratic and aggressive, suggesting that grief, desire, and frustration have taken physical control of her. The performance builds toward a near-possession, with Myers unleashing the song's emotional climax through wild gestures and an explosive scream.
