According To Dan Smith The Song Is Written As A Conversation Between Two Victims Of The Eruption Of Mount Vesuvius Stating In An Interview "I Was Reading A Book That Had Some Picture Of The People Who Got Caught Up In The Volcanic Eruption. And It's Just Such A Kind Of Dark Powerful Image And It Got Me Thinking About How Boring It Must Have Been Emotionally After The Event. To Be Sort Of Stuck In That Same Position For Hundreds And Hundreds Of Years. So The Song Is Sort Of An Imaginary Conversation Between These Two People Who Are Stuck Next To Each Other In Their Sort Of Tragic Death Pose." The Official Music Video Was Filmed In Los Angeles And Palm Springs California. It Was Directed By Jesse John Jenkins And Produced By Tova Dann. The Video Was First Released Onto YouTube On 20 January 2013 At A Total Length Of Three Minutes And Fifty-Two Seconds. It Currently Has 728 Million Views The Highest Out Of All The Band's Songs.

He Steals A Car And Drives Into The Desert To Escape Them But The Car Breaks Down And He Soon Realizes He's Been Infected As Well. He Climbs A Mountain And Looks Out At The View Before Turning Around To Reveal His Own Eyes Have Turned Black As Well. The Story Is An Allegory For The Eruption Of Mount Vesuvius In Pompeii.
