Music video observations[]
The video opens with a group of white robed personas seen running intently towards the camera. Lee is seen riding a vehicle traversing a road within tall trees - a woman on the driver's seat, two men quietly sitting on the passenger's side.
White robed personas surround Lee in a dungeon like setting.
The scene switches to what seems to be something that resembles an underground dungeon. More white robed personas are seen, some wearing a fox half mask, while others hold onto a glass containing white liquid. Lee grabs a microphone and begins singing as a dancer gently moves around her, trying to hold her down.
We are then introduced to a white dog staring into a tunnel as the scene once again switches to Lee, this time in a full suit covered in fur resembling something inhuman - a beast.
Full bodied fur suit resembling that of a beast.
The scenes continuously switch parallel to each other, one scene being beastly Lee dancing in the dark tunnel, the other scene reflecting Lee's band of black, leather clad individuals in a fierce battle against the white robed personas previously seen in SAMARITAN.
The video ends with Lee's group aggressively heading towards the opposing force.
Trivia[]
- The white robed personas are wearing a Wintercroft Fox Half mask.
- Her outfit is a Rose Print Full Dress and Leather Armour Sleeves by COMME des GARÇONS.
- The white dog seen in the video is Lee's pet, Ghost.

Lyrics[]
- Verse 1
i saw you there at night
your shape appeared in the distance
your face distorted in the light
and out of breath, i closely listened
your hungry eyes glow with fire
and light up my humid hollow
just like me, the treacherous kind
- Pre-chorus 1
the warning's spelling out your name
the winds are shifting, are you in?
- Chorus
oh, oh! you make my waters flow
now look how tall i grow
i'm not human
oh, oh! with you, it's magical
the urge is animal
i'm not human
- Verse 2
i felt you take a bite
your calming voice silently whispered
how do you see your life in time?
and is it worth all of these blisters?
these broken limbs are worn and tired
but our words are not yet written
our ember still burning inside
- Pre-chorus 2
the warning's spelling out your name
are you ready to begin?
morning will put out this flame
the winds are shifting, are you in?
- Chorus
oh, oh! you make my waters flow
now look how tall i grow
i'm not human
oh, oh! with you, it's magical
the urge is animal
i'm not human
- Chorus
oh, oh! you make my waters flow
now look how tall i grow
i'm not human
oh, oh! with you, it's magical
the urge is animal
i'm not human
- Outro
i saw you there at night
your shape appeared in the distance
your face distorted in the light
