The video ends with an open end, considering that El Tio is the lord of the underworld who rules in the mines, which were of use for people for a prolonged period of time, whom miners sacrifice a llama from time to time to avoid from being cursed, the boy could be seen as a big sacrifice to redeem the miners from El Tio's undesirable influence. They arrive at a mine where the demon is supposed to be, but everybody with their hearing intact could be cursed by the demon, thus the boy had to face the demon alone and out-voice him with his scream to stop him from cursing others. Together they go to the place where the demon should reside. He told them the demon could be found in desert, where there once was a town in which people worshipped the demon and he cursed them to kill themselves. The prophet said anybody who could hear the demon would fall under his control. El Tio is considered as the lord of the underworld, to whom mortal people offer gifts in exchange for protection, or to ease his anger. The disfigured man reveals that he is a prophet who was cursed by a demon (El Tio) because he didn't worship him anymore, and abandoned the society where the demon resided. Together, they meet a disfigured man who was abused, considered a leper by society. By screaming, the boy resolves the situation and revives the old man's heart (in the video, by buying him a new heart).

Definitely one of the best songs of 2013! However, the music video is quite puzzling no? There is a dark story behind the music video.
