CTRL-Z gives us a two ends music video placing human and his behaviour in the very heart of actuals planet’s questioning. Here, the audience is writing his own destiny and the destiny of humanity. The artist is inspired by the “Gamebooks”, where the protagonist wanders in labyrinths and regularly has to choose his destiny represented by doors to walk out. 

The track was made from the acknowledgement that Human Being is colonising more and more space to the detriment of other living beings on a planet where the Earth Overshoot arrives earlier each year. 

He concludes that Humanity still has to learn to live in symbiosis with nature and suggests a modification of ways of living. Everyone has to take responsibility for its behavior and acts, or pay the price.
