Paradise Lost - Darker Thoughts (official Music Video) Apr 2026

Nick Holmes stated the song explores themes of "choosing the wrong path," failing to look before you leap, and living with the consequences of "dubious decisions".

The video features a unique, fractured aesthetic born out of necessity during the early COVID-19 pandemic.
