The music video opens with a body of dark blue water, followed by an urgent-sounding synth that mimics an alarm, building tension before transitioning into a jazzy, drum-led section of the song accompanied by a distorted voice welcoming everyone back to Trench. Vocalist Tyler Joseph slowly chimes in with the lines, “I created this world/To feel some control/Destroy it if I want it/So I… Read more »

The alt-hardcore act originally released the single in September but has given it an almost holiday-edge decoration to it. The first version was featured on Apple Music’s Breaking Hard Rock playlist.

With softer vocals as well, the song sounds like it could be in an alt-rock version of a Hallmark or Lifetime holiday… Read more »
