‘Elevate me’ is a song by the band The Cinema Escape. The song is about being completely devoted - almost destructively obsessed - with a ‘higher power’. An all-consuming passion or love for something and someone, that slowly turns into an addiction:
 
‘Elevate me, baby, I can’t escape these walls […] Innovate me, baby, I live just to get old […] Generate me, baby, I can do no more’.
 
The clip is based upon this text.

The clip is set inside a social media cult, in the shadows of neon light. It’s a ballad between two people that are stuck inside an inescapable situation. The girl in the video has become addicted to social media and retreats to a social cult institution. She has disappeared from ‘real life’. The other person, her father, desperately wants to save his daughter getting drawn into this ‘new’ world. A dark and sinister world that is watched by the glowing red eye of a camera. In the clip Big Brother not only sees you but owns you.

The shrine is made to represent the manifestation of this higher power that we could call: social media. It’s a nod to Santa Muerte, a part of Mexican-American folk Catholicism, that honors the personification of death. We know the downside of social media, we even know the dangers of it and how addictive it can be - yet - we still have it.
