The video for "Arcane Clouds” is the continuation of “The Pale Moon”, where a lonesome soul in a cabin far away from civilization agonizes over his journey towards the end of life. All faith and hope is gone and the character is starting to lose his mind. “The video(s) are shot at a beautiful location in Elverum, Norway and the main character(s) are visually inspired by ‘The Lovers’ (René Magritte). We wanted to capture the mood of the record and bring the viewers further into our story. It’s portraying the lonesome soul and his minds, towards the end of life. We wanted to have still shots and no moving camera to make it all seem like the time goes slowly by, and just portraying everyday chores at the cabin. He is followed around by his mind (the second character) waiting for his time. The ending is a visual metaphor of the character finally accepting death, laying down into the bed and leaving earth.”
The video was directed by AVKRVST and co-directed, shot and edited by Simen Skari.

Lyrics:
ARCANE CLOUDS
I know the ghosts will hunt me down
Into deep dark clouds they go
Finding new ways to make me drown
and I know they’ll find me somehow
All I know
is that time went by
I know my life here on earth
is passing by
Trespassing into darker clouds
Accepting that all my ghosts
will hunt me down
I know that you want me to try to
hunt them down
All i know now
is my mind
I know that you want me to try to
find a way
Down we go
into deep dark clouds
