Last week, Tyler dropped St. Chroma, which featured him whispering over militaristic stomps.
A week later, he dropped NOID, admitting he was paranoid about how stardom made him a target.
The black-and-white video serves to hammer Tylers consternation home.

The self-directed video offers almost three minutes of visuals for fans to decipher frame by frame.
The short runway to his new album is becoming Tylers trademark.
Hes been open that he doesnt think we need to know anything else anyway.
Go the fuck outside and listen to the damn art or the music.
Because I dont like talking too much.
Talking too much breeds gossip.
At least hes consistent.
But instead of holding a mask, Tyler is wearing a brown leather mask.
His veil could be fairly interpreted as a reference to the charade of modern celebrity.
The masklooks like Tyler, but its a slight variation concocted to conceal his true identity.
Hes whatever character someone imagines him as.
Like he told Carter, we dont know him.
