5 . The Rakes – Strasbourg |

6 . Thrice – All That’s Left |
| Thrice’s track “All That’s Left” explores themes of existential crisis and the quest for a meaningful life. As a metaphor representing the song’s thematic essence, the music video, directed by Brian Thompson, portrays the band performing amidst collapsing surroundings and the induced panic and doing so, metaphorically represents the song’s thematic essence. |

7 . The Pipettes – Judy |
| The Pipettes’ song “Judy” narrates a playful, cheeky story about a girl named Judy, the whole packed in a retro-pop style. The cartoonish music video shows Judy driving around in a car, with a change in lyrics where Rose of The Pipettes sings “stuff” instead of “arse.” |

9 . Trivium – Anthem [We Are The Fire] |
‘Together, let’s show the world what we say’
|
| Trivium’s “Anthem [We Are The Fire]” is a rallying call, urging listeners to stand against adversaries and dominate, encapsulating a spirit of unity and defiance. The music video, directed by Nathan Cox, showcases a narrative where the band arrives at a mansion to perform, and as fans flood the venue, the initial party-goers are left in confusion. |

‘So detached and in your cue Your pullin let it move you’

11 . The Architect – Jacqueline |
| The Architect’s song “Jacqueline” samples Doug E. Fresh and Slick Rick’s work, among others, and so embodies into the track, an old-school hip-hop influence. |

12 . Markus Nikolai – Bushes |
‘then someone’s probably makin… uhh…’
|
| Markus Nikolai’s “Bushes” lyrics include repetitions of the phrase “in the bush… bushes in the park,” among others, which might be explored for meaning. And this is exactly what the director of the music video does where “bush” refers to a private pilosity. Our prudishness forbids us to say more. |

NB . You may wonder what are these “Quotes” attached to certain photos above. Well! For a specific song, we select a still image from the video on one side and choose a lyric from the song on the other side. We ensure that the lyric has a connection to the image, although sometimes the connection may be far-fetched or based on a double entendre, creating a humorous or meme-like combination when the two are merged together. Et voilà!
