He wanted to visually express the desolation of the lyrics, the feeling of powerlessness and failure caused by an unattainable goal, may it be the killing of your own demons or impossible love. The video translates&nbsp;anger and despair in a fictional desertic war,&nbsp;through the deep gaze of a soldier child: alone, threatened, helpless, but still standing up and untamed, at the centre of a world falling around and above him.
