Music video

The music video premiered with the song on February 29, 2024. It begins with illustrations and scenery in relation to the lore created by the band (coinciding with the German, French and Spanish voices at the beginning of the song). It then shows the duo playing in a mainly music venue filmed at The Athenaeum Theatre in Columbus, Ohio. The empty venue begins filling up with people who are known as the "citizens of Dema", all of whom are not showing any emotion. Tyler then details a plan to the citizens, before passing out as the video reveals that he was actually possessing someone else; the duo are then shown arriving on an island, presumably the continent of "Trench".[3] As of March 4, 2024, it has garnered over 4.2 million views on YouTube.
