The opening scene shows a busy highway, with typical daily noises. The cars all simultaneously break to a stop, and all noises cease. People slowly get out of their cars, and a close-up shot is shown of a foot touching the ground. As soon as contact is made, the piano intro of the song starts. Throughout the song, people leave their houses and abandon everything they’re doing, and begin to walk towards a specific area. The sky quickly turns dark with blood-red stars, and people begin to march in an almost militaristic, slow march, all in perfect synchronization.
The marchers slowly begin to break off into groups of about ten, and all form single lines along the side of the road. The people all have blank, vacant looks on their faces, and look as though they have no conscious thought of their own. Throughout the entire video, random numbers are seen flashing along the bottom right-hand corner of the screen (example; 98.048, 87.458, 67.787, etc.), slowly counting down to zero. The final shot is a bird’s eye view of a long road, showing thousands upon thousands of people in lines of ten. One final number flashes across the screen (0.0001), before a cut to black.
Throughout the video, Infinite can be seen playing in a meadow surrounded by trees. The three band members are kept out of focus, and their faces are never completely clear. Eric Quillington is seen singing into a megaphone, Greg Oldson is playing a piano, and Matt Roberts is sleeping on the ground. All around the band are people formally dancing in pairs, and are all dancing in perfect synchronization. As the video progresses, the dancers’ movements become increasingly robotic and lifeless. It also becomes more apparent that Eric is screaming at them through the megaphone, almost as if he’s begging them to wake up.
