No Way Out

This is the third creative work on a song by the Halflives band and, more importantly, the third work on a song from the album “How Much a Heart Can Take Before It Breaks”. I had a dream to do a work on each song from it.

I wanted to write something on myself. But I had no idea what exactly. And then this song sounded in the speakers. I thought “Oh! Its name is quite short and accessible for writing!”. I started the clip. An idea arose in my head that you could remove the hand on the background of the screen or, rather, on the background of the clip, where Linda also touches some invisible glass, showing that there is no way out of that city.

So the symbolism of this work is that the song talks about the fact that there is no way out of some internal state. Similarly, I have no opportunity to get to the band’s concert now, and all that remains is to touch the glass of the monitor.

“Life is slipping through my fingertips
I’m just a wreck lying in the abyss
At times I feel that I’ve lost it all
I’ve lost the war

I don’t know who I am
Don’t know what to say
But I’ll try to anyway
Just wanna say goodbye
Live another life
But I can’t

And I can’t breathe when I drown
I’m ten feet underground
And every day it feels
There’s no way out
I’m trapped in my own mind
And everything’s a lie
‘Cause every day it feels
There’s no way out
(There is no way out)”
