This video was incredible in my opinion. Bryson told his story and it's relatable and understandable to us as his viewers. He is likening the feelings and general path that led him to his lover as a desert. The love he has for her is very strong, as indicated through his lyrics and body language here but is troublesome and exhausting, like being lost in a desert, perhaps because she does not reciprocate in the same way and because of unfaithfulness. The dichotomy is exemplified through her appearance-she is beautiful but is dressed in black, harsh clothing and dark makeup. She is his darkness and cause for his sorrows. They "meet" in the desert, while both of them were lost and yearning for someone to make them feel found but the meeting is strong and the feelings that ensue launches them into chaos. From the beginning, it was not meant to truly work. They both "fall" violently, represented by the sand vortex, into a form of love but it casts them into a confusing place in which their perception of life and love is skewed. This is represented by the distorted images of clocks, buildings and him finding himself at alternate locations, like running on the moon. The shadow hand reaching out to the hourglass symbolizes him reaching out to try and salvage the relationship against time but this effort only makes him feel trapped. He is unable to make her understand his feelings and to "find" her mentally and emotionally and this is symbolized by the maze sequence seen. She is the the centre of the maze but Bryson is still "lost" and has not found her in this respect. The clocks represent the inevitability of the relationships end. He is aware of her unfaithfulness but she is surprised that he figured her out. He wishes they could rewind time and mend their broken relationship and this is visualized by the time piece that spins counter-clockwise near the end. He reminisces on all the times they had together, including the romantic ones and they are seen kissing as the shots rewind at speed. The final message is that love, all it's feelings,bliss, pain and heartbreak are all sequences that exist in the hearts and minds of only the individuals involved and this is visualized by the casing of the hourglass. It is an internal world, different from the lives and perceptions of the world and people outside. It usually does not last forever and almost always kneels to the power and destructive nature of time. In love, time is distorted in our view and people change as time passes.
This is my songgggg... but am I the only one that feels the song slow down while listening to it or distort ... maybe it’s just me idk lol.... my favorite song on the album tho
