2AM by Foals. Cat and mouse in the maze

Music video of the song «2am» for Foals. It was presented on February 15, 2022, and is directed by the winner of the best video clip of the year at the 2021 MTV Awards, Tanu Muino (also the author of videos for Harry Styles and Rosalía), and recorded in January 2022 in Kyiv, Ukraine, the native country of Muino, with an entirely Ukrainian team. It was a preview of the album "Life Is Yours" released four months ago, in 2022.

Foals frontman Yannis Philippakis is trapped in a choreographed video of hedonism, in Tanu Muino's brilliant realisation for 2am.

Philippakis is locked in a game of cat and mouse with a mysterious woman, who he follows through a maze of studio environments, finding himself in the middle of tricolour stages.

Lyrics.-

It's 2am and I've gone and lost my friends
but I can’t sleep alone again
No I can't sleep alone, I just wanna go home
and it’s 2am again

And all these years I’ve been running from my fears,
but I can’t sleep alone again
And all my life I've been looking for a light
that I can't reignite again

I know that it’s all over when we go,
when we go our way
I hoped that we'd be stronger
but now we know, now we know.

No I can't sleep alone, I just wanna go home
but I sleep alone again
I've been here before, I was always wanting more
but never knew when to end

I'm black & blue I was always there for you
but now you've gone again
No I can't sleep alone, I just wanna go home
and it’s 2am again

We know that it's all over when we go,
when we go our way
But I hoped that we'd be stronger, but now I know...
now I know...

It's the nights
when I keep you in my mind
that I hoped that I'd be fine
but I’ve started showing signs of another late night
of another night time
oh I hoped that you'd be mine

It's the nights, it's the nights,
when I keep you in my mind
oh I hoped that I’d be fine,
but I've started showing signs of another late night
of another night time

I lost myself again, I just need time to mend
Some quiet and some care, some time to repair
Would you be my guide? Take me by the side
Make me up a bed, forget the things I said

I lost myself again, I just need time to mend
Some quiet & some care, some time to repair
Make me up a bed, forget the things I said
The things I said then

at 2am
at 2am
at 2am
at 2am
