An urge to change, a yearning to traverse the subconscious. As we drift, rootless and restless, into the interior of guitars and other gateways, so does reality shift (from real-world to fabricated, from an industrial, lifeless landscape to a natural one, from underwater to the martian desert) in this lyric video with surreal and fantastical elements.

And did we find it?
