[Opening shot]
The music video opens with a sweeping aerial view of a vast and rugged Icelandic landscape. The camera slowly descends, revealing Sigrún standing alone on a desolate hill, framed by a dramatic, overcast sky.



I don't know why I am
The way I am

As Sigrún begins to sing, the camera focuses on her, capturing the raw emotion in her performance. She walks with purpose through the rugged terrain, the wind whipping her hair and clothes.



The lyrics "I don't know why I am, The way I am" resonate against the backdrop of the harsh, natural beauty of Iceland.

Earth is Trembling
Earth is trembling again
Charken mountains
In the dark lands
Ashes on boots
I got to Head on

Interwoven with the performance shots are powerful visual metaphors. Close-ups of Sigrún's boots covered in ashes symbolize her journey through adversity. The camera also captures fleeting glimpses of her looking skyward, as if seeking guidance from a higher power.



I'm banished
I got to head on, baby!
Banished and scorned
I'm banished
Just heading on!


As the chorus hits, the imagery intensifies. Shots of volcanic landscapes and steaming geysers reinforce the lyrics. The viewer feels the elemental forces at play, reflecting Sigrún's internal struggles.

Oh, the tempest roars
The thunder crashes
In the heart of the storm
My spirit lashes



A seamless transition takes us to a new location, showcasing the contrast between the dark, foreboding land and a roaring volcano. Sigrún stands in front of the eruption, her presence a defiant force against the elements.

There is Sulphur
In the air
I'm breathing
Help me Jesus
To get through it



Sigrún continues to sing with unwavering determination. The lyrics "Earth is Trembling, As long as I'm breathing" take on a visceral quality, mirroring the dynamic energy of the environment.

I'm banished
I got to head on, baby!
Banished and scorned
Just heading on!



The bridge begins, and this time, the visuals intensify even further. The camera captures the earth quaking beneath Sigrún's feet, emphasizing her resilience in the face of adversity. The juxtaposition of her solitary figure against the vast, turbulent landscape creates a powerful visual contrast.



I'm shaking the Earth
Distancing continents
I live in ice age
While they're burning

The music video takes a contemplative turn, with moments of stillness and introspection. Sigrún's gaze pierces through the camera, conveying a sense of inner strength and resolve. The lyrics "Distancing continents, I'm shaking the Earth, I live in ice age, While they are burning" resonate deeply against the backdrop of the stark Icelandic environment.



As the video approaches its climax, Sigrún's performance reaches its peak. The visuals amplify the intensity, with sweeping shots capturing the magnitude of her presence in this unforgiving landscape.

Idon't know why I am
The way I am
Banished by Humans
Banished and scorned
I got to head on, baby!
I'm banished
I'm banished
Banished





The video concludes with a wide shot of Sigrún standing on a cliff, gazing out at the turbulent sea. The wind whistles around her, echoing the strength and determination she has shown throughout the video. The final frames fade to black, leaving the viewer with a lingering sense of Sigrún's indomitable spirit.

Idon't know why I am
The way I am
Banished,
Banished ...

[Lyrics]

I don't know why I am
The way I am

Earth is trembling
Earth is trembling again
Charken mountains
In the dark lands
Ashes on boots
I got to head on

I'm banished
I got to head on, baby!
Banished and scorned
Just heading on!

Oh, the tempest roars
The thunder crashes
In the heart of the storm
My spirit lashes.
There is sulphur
In the air
I'm breathing
Help me Jesus

I'm banished
I got to head on, baby!
Banished and scorned
Just heading on!

I'm shaking the Earth
Distancing continents
I live in ice age
While they're burning

Idon't know why I am
The way I am
I'm banished by Humans
Banished and scorned
I got to head on, baby!

I'm banished
I'm banished

Banished,
Banished...
