Seven Hours After Violet have just released a new music video for their track “Float.” The band—featuring members of System Of A Down, Winds Of Plague, Left To Suffer, and more—shared the clip in advance of Mental Health Awareness Month this May.
Speaking on the track, the group’s Shavo Odadjian offered: “The song speaks to the threat of suicide, but more than that, it’s about hope — the push and pull between pain and recovery. We want this track to be a beacon for anyone battling those inner wars.”
Adds frontman Taylor Barber: “‘Float‘ is about the feeling of waking up with depression rooted deep inside you. Feeling like a ghost in a shell — existing, but not living. It’s about being consumed by the weight of the world without confronting the inner battles. It’s important for us to express our emotions and let people know they’re not alone.”
The song was originally released with the band’s self-titled debut album last year. While the lyrics deal with the feeling of depression and how it affects interpersonal relationships, the video blends performance footage with a fictitious account of a woman struggling with her own mental health challenges.
The video at times gets heavy, with overt but not outright references to self-harm and suicide, but it eventually leads to a call to promote the non-profit organization To Write Love On Her Arms. For those that don’t know, that organization’s efforts are “dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide.”
