Music video

The video for this single was shot on 30 September in Berlin.[citation needed] It was released online on 19 October 2007. The video consists of a dream world in the mind of Sharon's character. The band is shown tied to walls of their cells, along with various surrealistic scenes. In the end of the video Sharon is shown in a hospital bed with images from the dream sequence flickering on a screen connected to her mind via wires.

In an interview, den Adel discussed some elements of the video:[1]

<templatestyles src="Template:Blockquote/styles.css" />

The story is very short and very simple actually. It's a dream. A lot of times she sees a lot of schizophrenic things, you know, happening in her mind...

Lea: It's you in a hospital-bed there...

Sharon: Yeah, and they are monitoring my dreams, so they are analysing what I'm dreaming. And that's basically the video and it just suited best with the lyrics, because it's very difficult to express things which are very symbolic, which you can't really show in images like "hope". How do you express "hope", you know? Or "believe in something" or "keeping something real" or "people who are fake". You can image that very well in a way of a dream. That's why we did it in that way.

The video contains many elements and imagery from the 2000 movie The Cell.[original research?]
