Music video observations
The video begins with various shots of glaciers and icebergs, then to Jonna Lee, clad in a white coat. She then walks along the shore, now wearing a jeweled crown, while shots of waves and the sunset/sunrise is seen. The faceless figures seen in the previous video reappear, sitting in various poses while encrusted with jewels. The scene changes to Lee in a white jumpsuit with a cape holding a flag with the letter "I", standing on the peak of a mountain. She then proceeds to dance, and the faceless figures mimic her movements. The video ends with Lee presumably running away from them as they chase her.
Trivia

Lyrics
Stretching out before my eyes
All riches a ruler requires
Regal shimmer, blinding shine
All hollowness when all this is mine
Through all the shallow depths, I had to wade
This could have become my darkest hour
Enough of days of living in the shade
My icy heart will turn to gold
Gazing underneath this tidy sky
Claim my land of frozen soil
Rest my eyes on this grand view, making it mine
Can you follow me never to be found
Tasting salty in the great blue we will shine
Improbable place unknown
Untouched and undestroyed
Here I let my armies grow
Our voices will loudly crow
Whoever needed identity to reign
Make them believe to cure their drought
I want the world rushing through my veins
My icy heart will turn to gold
Gazing underneath this tidy sky
Claim my land of frozen soil
Rest my eyes on this grand view, making it mine
Can you follow me never to be found
Tasting salty in the great blue we will shine
Can you follow me through the second round?
Can you taste the pale white salt against your tongue?
My icy heart will turn to gold
Gazing underneath this tidy sky
Claim my land of frozen soil
Rest my eyes on this grand view, making it mine
Can you follow me never to be found
Tasting salty in the great blue we will shine
