Synopsis

Directed and animated by Ryoji Yamada for King Gnu's Prayer X, this music video adopts an abstract animated style to examine mental health struggles—paranoia, anxiety, depression, and thoughts of suicide—without revealing plot details. It depicts a color-drained, monotonous environment where the protagonist is caught in an unchanging routine that gradually erodes his mental stability, conveying a somber and unsettling atmosphere through visual metaphor and pacing.
