ive been a fan for ages and just seeing them evolve and grow into what they are now today, is so amazing. it really shows how much they have progressed because of the amazing quality and production value of this mv. i truly love everything about it. the symbolism from the drowning part, the whole aesthetic of the song and video, even the lighting in this. they really deserve a more global and much (much) bigger audience. im soso proud of them and excited for more content!!
Already in love with this song. Especially because I have had a tough week and this song speaks chapters to me. Honestly makes me so grateful to The Sam Willows. Now suddenly they are out with another song when I need it most! Xx
my theory: from the start, the car is on the road which shows that everyone is on their own path and the lamposts could mean like positive light shed on you could be the people around you. the car opposite passing by can represent people passing by comments or seeing lightly of one and not realising that one is depressed or struggling as they didnt notice, just like how everyone is normally. the car represents feeling trapped and they are trying to run away but they cant. ben is taking the wheel which could mean that everyone has to take charge of their life and sometimes it might be hard for people to because of toxic ppl. them looking outside of the car might be that they are trying to find a way out (solution) for their probs/stress. the water that they are trying to depict themselves drowning in could be then again feeling drowned by emotions n everything in life, being afloat as narelle is seen trying to stay afloat when she was 'flapping'(IDKHAHAH) her hands and not die. the rain/water might be pressure "raining" on them or the emotions (crying) that they go through as seen. the wiper only worked once which could mean that they were trying to brush things off but couldnt. the awkward moment w narelle staring at u is that she doesnt know what to do but in the end she realised that there was a better way/alternative to the prob so they fight and run. its obv also since when narelle's "wake up call" or realisation was with the lyrics "oh i'll light a fire i'll light a beacon out in the cold" which meant that they wanted to fight back. in the end they go crazy because of all the stress and hardship but once the car (represents problems) was lifted as 'weight lifted frm their shoulders' possibly by someone as in the lyrics they were calling out for help (most likely internally) from somebody that they finally could be free. OR them walking away could just be them trying to walk away from their problems as seen that they had no expressions while walking away like feeling dead. throughout the video, the lights that were used didnt have much yellow in them (except the road lamposts if u count that) which represents happiness and joy, but more darker tones which represents more negative emotions. especially seen from the water, it is not blue but black which represents mysteriousness, often associated with the unknown or the negative, plus black is the absence of colour(emptiness), it evokes strong emotions and could mean/be overwhelming. the water also had pink which is emotional in character and psychologically it is a powerful colour. theres ofc more easter eggs or theories but u just have to know that the whole point of the vid is to show that everyone has their struggles that we face and feel many emotions all at the same time. so as someone who cares, we should all look out for each other and get through the tougher times knowing that you are not alone and people care. it is never the end or the ending. there is always a journey. ❤️
This song resonates my life in so many levels. And this video just captures how hard it is to deal with issues in our lives to the point that no one can somehow help us but ourselves. It feels like drowning, in need of space to breathe. That no matter how we try to run away from it, it keeps on gaining at us. But like any problems in life, we can survive it. We don't have to carry all the burden, and it's okay to ask for help (like a beacon out in the cold). This song is not about dealing things on our own, but a motivation that everyone can overcome struggles in life if we let others help us as well. As always, awesome work! I'm just a recent FanWillow, and I'm glad I found you guys! Can't wait for the next album.
They are just so amazing! Like every song /music video hits you in a certain way that gets you to feel different types of emotions. That, my friends, is pure talent.
Awesome song. As usual :) i agree with that so good at saving someone else but i cant save myself bit. Its like when u boost others but u cant boost yr self so u get left behind
I only thought only BTS can gives me a goosebumps then I realized this video also gives me a goosebumps. It really got to me. this so is so beautiful, thank you so much 😭

Whenever I'm depressed or my anxiety triggers this song is my calming pill... it really is very calming and very relatable
Somebody save me from myself repeating this video ever since 12am......
Dark and Emotional but it is SO. DAMN. GOOD.
XOXO
This song now holds a very special place in my heart.
So underated they deserve more!!!!
1:37 to 1:42, this harmonizing of their voices is powerful - wish there were more times when this blending could occur.
