Trivia

Interesting facts about Exits. By Songfacts.

This song conjures the imagery of a dystopian future, inspired by tech billionaires who are buying bunkers in New Zealand. Now the sea eats the sky But they say it's a lie And there's no birds left to fly We'll hide out Vocalist Yannis Philippakis told Q magazine: "All the post-millennial dread that everybody's swimming in at the moment is very much present."


Philippakis explained to NME that the song paints "a visual picture with words about the state of where we're at, and all the preoccupations that we have. The environment being one, also the state of surveillance and all of the ways that we attached to the outside world. There isn't any privacy." The singer added that he came up with the song after fantasizing about living underground. "It's set in this warped and surreal landscape," Philippakis said. "It's not necessarily a dark place, but you can take refuge from the outside world with the hope that you could come above ground at some point."


The song's music clip was filmed by director Albert Moya in minus 10 degree temperatures in Budapest. It stars English actor Isaac Hempstead Wright (Game Of Thrones) and French actress Christa Théret (Renoir). Philippakis said: "We wanted to make a video that went with the song that was like, a set of surreal vignettes."
