Video Directed by Christine Rho in Los Angeles Oct. 2013

Lyrics:
The way I lay my eye, The way I lay my eye on you
Away, I relive, I rely on you

We came across the river, we saw the light.
We passed the bridge with towers, way past Midnight.
We came into the fire, without a fight.
A world entwined with lovers, alone at night.

The way I lay my eye, the way I lay my eye on you
Away, I relive, I rely on you

We jumped and climbed the ladder, to reach the sky
We looked down at the gutter, to see the stars
We met and lost with other, came out of sight
Our Souls melt one another into the night

The way I lay my eye, the way i lay my eye on you
Away, I relive, I rely on you

By the time we were on our way
We remembered the light of day
We decided to run away
it was time we went out to play..

(Frequency/Stanway)

Lay my eye has a synthesized and sensual energy with an ominous feel, foreboding sense of impending danger.

Christine Rho, who directed the video explains: «The video explores the duality of human nature and specifically the idea of control versus vulnerability».

It presents two varied personalities presumably belonging to the same person marking a sharp contrast to her strengths, weaknesses, and rawness.

We follow a young woman, who, in her "control/robotic" state is cold, strong with a machine-like automation to her surroundings, which also reflect this sterility.
Then there is the "human" version of her, the vulnerable, messy, and feeling side of her, translated through the grit and grime of her natural surroundings.
Both characters mirror each other and are reflections of the same person. They are fragmented versions of one, searching for the whole.
«I wanted to play on the notion that maybe the robot was human all along while the human was the fraud» says Christine.

At the end, the "control/robotic" version of the character finds a glimpse of her humanity through a release of her control in a Machine VS Human kind of way.
