Simon Shackleton - This Is Who We Are

This Is Who We Are is a haunting exploration of identity, humanity, and the relentless struggle to find meaning in a chaotic, fractured world. Through a powerful blend of cinematic visuals and evocative lyrics, the video tells the story of a lone figure navigating an abstract yet emotionally charged landscape-a reflection of the inner turmoil we all face.
The imagery is rich with symbolism: a desolate shoreline, rising mist, celestial light, and shattering forms mirror the song’s themes of self-doubt, resilience, and transformation. The silhouetted protagonist embodies the fragile human spirit-searching, reaching, and breaking under the weight of existential questions. As the song crescendos, the figure confronts awe-inspiring visions of the universe, only to dissolve into the very fabric of their surroundings.
