SYML says of the video, "The main rhythm throughout this song is based around a simple but familiar beat found in latin and afro-cuban music. It invokes movement. Acting this movement out on a piano is one thing, but to see it physically communicated through a human body is another.
A lot of the footage is taken from “one-take” performances where they would let their bodies flow through the whole song, front to back, instead of taking it scene by scene. The result is more moving than I could have ever hoped."

Lyrics.-
Some ancient call
That I’ve answered before
It lives in my walls
And it’s under the floor
If this was meant for me why does it hurt so much
And if you’re not made for me then why did we fall in love
A knock at my door
I thought I was alone
Unaware of what I thought I needed
I dropped like a stone
If I’m not mistaken then I was the last to know
And if you return for me I’d never want for more
You’re dislocated, don’t be like that
And you smile when you dive in, like you’re never coming back
So hold my body, yeah hold my breath
See your face when I black out, I’m never coming back
Fear of the water
You’re dislocated, don’t be like that
And you smile when you dive in, like you’re never coming back
So hold my body, yeah hold my breath
See your face when I black out, I’m never coming back
Fear of the water
You’re dislocated, don’t be like that
And you smile when you dive in, like you’re never coming back
So hold my body, yeah hold my breath
See your face when I black out, I’m never coming back
Fear of the water
