The alt-rock band has dropped its animated video for “Wake Me When It’s Over.”
The track is number three on their final album, In the End, released last April.
According to Rolling Stone, the video was made in a collaboration between the band and students at the Limerick School of Art and Design, located in the Cranberries’ hometown of Limerick, Ireland.
The clip features a woman running and evolving into different animals before transforming back to herself.
Creative director Tom Clancy said the woman “could be interpreted as representing mother nature, through a feminine superhero who is attempting to overcome all that crosses her path. On her journey, she morphs into various animals whose habitats exist between land, water and sky.”
“While ‘Wake Me When It’s Over’ is obviously about [late] Dolores [O’Riordan’s] personal experiences, the directors take on it as a song about the destruction of our natural environment,” drummer Fergal Lawler tells the outlet. “In keeping with her long held belief that the listener can always decide for themselves what any of her songs are about.”
