"Above all, 'Prisoners No More' is a dance song about being free," Keenan says. "We want this video to get people to dance and forget about the mundane rituals of daily life."
Don't expect too much dance music on their new record, Vita Nova, though. Keenan says each song on the album, which will be fully released early next year, is pretty unique stylistically.
For this track's video, the band stuck with their science fiction aesthetic and crammed the clip full of graphics and space backgrounds to complement the performance and silhouette shots. The band's friend Scott Conditt directed the video, using black lights and light-reflective materials to create the cool effects.
Check out lyrics for the song, along with the video, below, and see A Life of Science when they perform at The Rogue Bar Friday, December 30. For more info on the band, log on to www.alos.us.
Prisoners No More
As we run away into the night
Alongside miles of dragonflies
And chemicals inside our heads
They light the way
And so like needles through the threads
We make our way across the darkness
And starlight glints cascade across
Your startled skin
Prisoners no more
We'll stop at nothing
The winds will send us to a
Higher low
We're gonna make it
As we run away into the night
Alongside miles of dragonflies
And chemicals inside our heads
They light the way
We're gonna make it
As we run away into the night
Alongside miles of dragonflies
And chemicals inside our heads
They light the way
They light the way
