Music video

The music video starts off with Elena looking towards a light, with also Olga and Marina looking towards a light. Then it zoomed to Olga sitting on a building rooftop, where the sky is pitch black and features Olga with dark angel wings, noted as a Dark Angel. Then features the group on a rooftop singing to the song.

Throughout the video, it features a woman in her home, where it appears she is depressed. She then starts crying briefly on the group. After the group sing in the second verse, it features the woman standing up from her couch and she stands with her hands wide, a similar pose to the Crucifixion of Jesus. Then after the group finish singing the last verse of the song, it features the woman sitting on the rooftop building, staring into the city, with her new angel wings, who is noted now as a guardian angel.

gollark: Ethically, I don't think other people have the right to stop someone from deciding what stuff they can do with their own body/life/whatever.
gollark: You can't just tell people to not be "insane" or whatever, and it's their body/life/whatever.
gollark: What should be legally allowed or whatever and what you *should do* are different things.
gollark: Well, I personally feel that there's not much of a good ethical case for *forbidding* it, although you probably should try and make sure they actually want to.
