Cover art for Dopamine lyrics by Smile Empty Soul

Sean Danielsen of Smile Empty Soul:

"The video just portrays an addiction to media and ignoring personal relationships, it keeps it pretty simple, but the song is about a lot of things combined into one thing. I like to allow people to judge what they think the song might mean with the lyrics, I won’t go too deep into it, but I always try to put more than one meaning into my songs these days, to find it to be a little fun exercise."
