The music video for "Pompeii" by Bastille tells the story of a man living in the abandoned city of Pompeii. Shots show his dilapidated living situation and him riding through ruined streets, establishing the city is dead. He encounters people whose eyes have turned black, indicating something is wrong with the city. Later shots show the man's own eyes beginning to change. The video ends with the man isolating himself and completing his transformation, mirroring the beginning of the video and concluding the story.
