Self-Sabotage: the deliberate subversion of oneself. Destructive or obstructive action that hinders the person who acts. See also: The Lord’s Prayer.
The Lord’s Prayer is inherently violent towards the one who prays it. Self-Sabotage is an exploration of the Lord’s Prayer based on and inspired by Derek Webb’s electronic all instrumental album ‘Feedback’. It follows six characters in a narrative with no words – only the music to parallel the stories. Their lives, like moving icons, open windows into the great mystery of communion through self-dethroning sabotage.

"The Lord’s Prayer is inherently violent towards the one who prays it." WHAT?? Is this a joke? Sorry, I don't get this...or the video.
Love how the beat and the visuals (flashes of light) are synced. There is a sense of what is going on inside is lined up on what is outside. In response to us, Jesus says, this is how you should pray...When the music on the inside (my soul) fits with the outside environment (The Kingdom of Heaven) then that is when the vehicle emerges into the light. There is a point in the video where the subway car emerges and the sound is a little bit more glorious.
