Music video
The music video was directed by Lieven Van Baelen and released on YouTube on 17 June 2014. The setting is reminiscent of The Hunger Games and the Maze Runner. However, it also has deep rooted connections with the 1987 film The Running Man, which shares a similar story of an audience watching a man run through a game and having to fight new armed competitors as they appear eventually gaining freedom, much like the protagonist of the music video.
