Kostis Theodosopoulos, Director - "Detecting the subtle irony behind the lyrics of the “Big Rip”, I was transported associatively to the cinema of Hal Ashby. I remembered “Life is a State of Mind” playing off-camera as Mr. Chance walks on the surface of the lake, dipping the nose of his umbrella into the water. And I thought that perhaps in a parallel universe somewhere nearby, Mont is waiting for him, having just escaped her own funeral, smiling defiantly as she revs her motorcycle. Along with them, Theodore - like another Harold - with his burgundy accordion and trippy gaze, gives an unaffected rhythm to this bittersweet farce that will never end."

Maria Aliferi, Actress - "The concept of the video is pioneering, modern, clever, cute, and disruptive. It's about a whimsical dead woman who resurrects and leaves because she's too kooky to stay."

Dimitra Vlagopoulou, Actress - “It's a surreal funeral with something playful, revolutionary, and funny at the same time. A dead bride has a big surprise for the guests at her funeral. Or is it her wedding? A discordant farewell performance, a mysterious guest watches from afar, a resurrection, and of course, the bouquet tossed into the air for the next lucky one. Two ceremonies for life and death become one with the bouquet, a relay that must never fall. The concept narrates something dual, sweet-bitter and romantic together, where fantasy seems to deceive reality and make everything a little more beautiful, lighter, more dreamlike. The same playful and lighthearted mood is evoked by Theodore's Big Rip. This song is like a conspiratorial wink, like a crooked smile."

Moved beyond 
Across the line 
Went too fast too soon too far too wide 

Pushed so hard 
Against the stream 
You can’t turn back now you are not free 

And this looks like the break point 
There is nothing we can do 
I’m gonna tear apart 
I’m afraid you will too 

Crossed the line 
What have we done 
It’s the straw that breaks the camel’s back 

Moved beyond  
The tipping point  
Went too fast too soon too far too wide
