Heart Shaped Bed seeks to create a bridge between sexual desire and emotional abyss. Echoing the androgynous vocals, the main character fluidly shifts gender identities across four acts – from coping through intimacy to escapism in the form of euphoria, it reflects on one's ego and its coping with breakdown and heartbreak. It is an homage to a cliffhang, a heartfelt funeral of the tortured self and the disappearance of the other.
