“Devil’s Dance / Should’ve Known”

“Devil’s Dance” is a dark, poetic descent into the mind of someone trapped in the cycle of addiction, where the desire to get clean crashes endlessly against the unchanging walls of the self. Set entirely within the confines of a single, dimly lit room, the video blurs reality and hallucination as time folds in on itself and escape feels like a dream just out of reach. Shadows of the band flicker across the walls, miming and performing not for her, but at her—manifestations of her own tormenting thoughts, a private concert of demons that refuse to let her rest. As the lyrics ache for clarity, the visuals deliver the truth: even when the body is still, the mind keeps dancing with the devil. It's an unflinching portrayal of internal captivity—haunting, beautiful, and tragically familiar.
