Music video

In the music video , the band members are shown fishing . The world becomes more and more oppressive, however, until the gravity subsides and everything is torn up into black clouds in an apocalyptic scenario. This begins gradually and increases more and more, for example by initially only drawing fish, then trees and later also the water.

content

The song is about the guilt you have for not doing something about grievances. Most people ignore warning signs. The song appeals to common sense to take action for a better world. This should not be talked out of by those who are afraid of change and want everything to stay as it is. It may be that they condemn such acts, for example classifying acts as actionism or terrorism . Discussions and demonstrations are important, they have the power of the word.
