The video for "1000 Meere" has more of a storyline. The video shows the four band members in different parts of an abandoned train station, walking over the tracks and staring into the distance rather melancholically. Eventually the four boys meet up and ascend one of the trains, which starts moving while the band performs inside one of the carriages. Near the end of the video the train starts speeding across the ocean while the band members climb onto the roof of the train.
