Tom DeLonge and Blink-182 split earlier this year on great terms… only the opposite . So now the former frontman is on his own. His solo album, To the Stars, due on April 21. The first single, which has a maybe-maybe-not subtweet title of “New World,” was released last month. And Thursday brought the first video of DeLonge’s post-Blink career for the aforementioned track.

The video is a distillation of all the angst DeLonge sang about with Blink for almost two decades: The guy’s breaking things and sullenly walking down a street by himself. Based on nothing but pure speculation, it seems anything but coincidence that the singer’s breaking a drum set, demolishing a bass guitar, and using a SLEDGEHAMMER to dismantle a piano. At times, he uses his Stratocaster as a weapon. At the end, his loyal guitar is repaired via duct tape and ready for the road. Nope, absolutely zero subtext here to dwell over. Let’s move on.
