The music video is about being on the road, waiting to reach the person who has been in the distance for some time and looking forward to arrive in the destination soon with glowing hope behind the sights with full of sadness, frustrated feelings and suspicion.
The video begins with the scene of isolated despaired man in the middle of the road with his car who is actually living there in these gloomy days. While rummaging among the meal leftovers and some empty bottles, he accidentally finds out the letter from his lover citing to wait for him to come to the aiming place soon, that ignites his hope pushing him to take off the road.
“Just some months are left to bring it to the life”, although during being on the way he sometimes faces with the loss and tiredness, the second hope-flame appeared after noticing the ship while waking up in the morning before stopping to cross the sea and taking overnight on the shore.
