 The video features animation from Steve Cutts, a London-based artist whose work commonly features images
inspired by tech, the human condition, and modern society.

It starts with users mindlessly staring into their phones as they fall into a manhole.

A woman is seen senselessly "liking" posts on her device.

Another woman tests a filter on a selfie, which doesn't reflect her dark reality.

Other provocative scenes include one where a man harasses a woman on a train while bystanders stare at their
gadgets...

...or this one of an opportunistic selfie-taker who poses as a fire burns away in a building behind her.

The imagery of users getting "lost" in their mobile phones ties into the lyrical themes of the song, which poses
the question: "Are you free?"

Throughout each scene is one frantic character who is trying to make sense of the world around him.

The video isn't about just cell phones, but also popular images projected through them: At one point, a woman
in a tiny bikini and high heels who's undergoing cosmetic procedures grins at the viewer.
