The music video is directed by Metakaji, revolving around the concept of capturing the essence of longing and intimate moments through an hourglass
The dreamlike element and haziness of the music video for Rumah definitely shows how 'hazy' and dreamy our childhood can seem once we grow up. Centering around the hourglass, the band shows that time is fleeting and moments in our lives will turn into treasured memories.
