‘Intuition’ is a song of self-discovery and resilience. The lyrics narrate the story of trusting one's instincts even in the face of adversity. The track explores the transformative process of embracing change, coming undone, and losing everything to find a deeper connection and love. The repeated motif of closed doors and the one that remains open relate to the existentialist idea of taking a leap and choosing one thing in contrast to keeping all your options open.
Whereas the song itself focuses on the positive connotations of trusting one's gut feelings; the music video on the other hand highlights its potential pitfalls: The subject is literally being played by a mad scientist, who creates this video by hooking his patient up to his experimental 8bit electrochemical infusion set. All the depicted romance is now nothing but an experimental infusion. We see the subject being drugged and played and witness the limited scope of its paradigm, his false marionette-like subjectivity and the neglect of any evidence based approach while he struggles through archetypal levels of the game-world. This matrix-like setting shows the risk of being manipulated and seduced by forces that work on a meta level, while still thinking you are acting according to your own laws. Accordingly, it can be read as radical social critique.
