The video opens with a close-up of the FKA's lips while she sings about being her significant other's "sweet little love maker."
"Finding time / To make my words better / Lately I'm / Not so present now / Not enough / For your constant found," she sings.
As the camera pans out, the scantily clad "Video Girl" singer is hanging suspended in space, all tangled and tied up in what appears to be her own braided hair.
"So lonely trying to be yours / When you're looking for so much more," FKA twigs sings in the chorus.
According to a press release, FKA twigs is actually performing shibari, a Japanese style of rope bondage, Rolling Stone reports.
FKA twigs explained what it means to use her own locks to be in the awkward positions.
"Using my own hair represents me at one time being suspended and held back by my own fears," she said.
Toward the end of the bondage-heavy erotic cut, the "Two Weeks" singer becomes submerged in a pool of black liquid substance before liberating herself. The ropes melt away, and she is finally able to dance and stomp with her hair unbraided and wildly free.
"How does it feel to have me thinking about you? / Wishing my words were enough to consume you / (So lonely trying to be yours) / How does it feel to have me thinking about you?" she sings.
