Music video

The video for "Stricken" takes place in an abandoned asylum. There are two women in the video. A man has an affair with both of them. As a result, the man's original girlfriend is shown upset and screaming. The other woman is shown having sexual intercourse with the man. The man, on the other hand, does not show emotion to the very end, with hands on his face. All the while, Disturbed is shown playing, in the background, and random objects are either dropped or thrown.
