Synopsis

Two women in white perform a ritualistic dance before a seated church congregation. Their movements begin as graceful and synchronized, but gradually become more unsettling as the setting takes on an ominous, almost supernatural atmosphere. Bare feet, stark costumes, barred architectural details, and expressionless faces create a tension between innocence and menace. By the closing moments, the dancers' altered eyes and increasingly eerie behavior transform the performance into a dark visual meditation on grief, fear, and inner struggle.

Factoids & Trivia

• "I Kill Giants" was released in 2013 as part of The Naked and Famous' second studio album, "In Rolling Waves."

• Alisa Xayalith has said that the song is about losing her mother to breast cancer when she was a child. She initially felt uncomfortable with how personal the lyrics were.

• The song's title was inspired by Joe Kelly and J. M. Ken Niimura's graphic novel "I Kill Giants," whose central character escapes painful reality through a fantasy world involving monsters and giants.

• The track was originally intended for the band's debut album, "Passive Me, Aggressive You," but was not completed in time.

• The official video premiered in late October 2013, around the release of "In Rolling Waves."

• The video's stark church setting and choreographed two-person performance give the song's autobiographical grief a symbolic, almost ceremonial visual language.
