Punk air rhythms and a fantasy tinged with supernatural horror. With this video, Grimes delves into the so-called “dystopian cyberpunk”, unleashing a very particular visual imaginary. An aesthetic that agrees, without a doubt, with his music.

But there is still more. Bowie's producer Tony Visconti has said that the lyrics and video for Lazarus and other songs on the album were overseen to become a kind of "self-epitaph" for the artist.

The close-ups of his gaunt face, with very expressive gestures and grimaces, are striking. The lyrics say: «Look here, I'm in heaven ”.
