Synopsis.

Alpha Sock, Hippie Sock, Jock Sock and Dork Sock have one thing in common – the series of abuse and humiliation that their former owners put them through. They are pushed into a life of lawlessness by a society that regards them as smelly outcasts. Each day is a repeating circle of violence and crime with the sole purpose of getting hands on enough drugs to numb every fibre in their fabric. When a heist goes wrong, the violence escalates and the socks are forced to confront the horrors that made them into what they are.

Sunit, Pelle and Tonni enjoyed working with this talented crew and music talents. ‘Musicvideoes are truly great in order to experiment and find new forms, also because it is a storytelling format that is widely open and is in an tremendous move these years’.

Lyrics (UK version)

Press reset shut the system down and start over
Because we forget night after night after night
Press reset fuck the problem and leave it at home, no pull it up by the root start over, do your thing

I’m awake at night
I’m broke
I stop to empty the bottle once again
I’m friends with the night
I’ve boarded the train, i’ve god my foot on the pedal all night long

The light casts a long shadow over Norrebro
And the rain pours down and gets your shoes wet
I live life through the bottle until the bottle is empty
A grownup kid who likes smoke and rum

Press reset shut the system down and start over
Because we forget night after night after night
Press reset fuck the problem and leave it at home, no pull it up by the root start over, do your thing

There’s a lot to be said
About big city romance
There’s a lot you can become
If you dare

Whether you’re a boy or a girl
Make your temperature rise
You know what we like
You’ve done it before

There’s a lot to be said
About big city romance
There’s a lot you can become
If you dare

Whether you’re a boy or a girl
Make your temperature rise
We know what you like,
We’ve done it before

Press reset, shut the system down and start over
Because we forget night after night after night
Press reset, fuck the problem and leave it at home, no pull it up by the root start over, do your thing
