Discover the story of the song > Amok – Atoms For Peace

The protagonist asks his partner to share her thoughts with him for a penny. He is struggling with intrusive thoughts and is trying to control them, but they keep coming back. He fears that these thoughts will lead to a disaster, and he is sending out positive energy to counteract them. The title refers to the protagonist's desire to go wild and uncontrollable (to 'run amok') and the penny represents his attempt to pay for control over his thoughts.
