about
Sturdy, digitally droning bass sounds from Camilo, reinforced with a pounding wrecking ball of drums by Sander, topped off with the nonchalant, angry vocals of Imara. The song "Blind" emphasises the dilemma of the EP Half Hanged, because do you even dare to share this song on social media after the criticism provided: "Get off of those screens, the socialite machine. Oversharing isn't caring, if you don't stop comparing. The life of a phony, no one's ever been so lonely!"?
lyrics
Focus on me, focus on me. I think I got what you like
Focus on me, focus on me. I got the perfect light
Focus on me, focus on me. I only need one more like
Inside I'm pure, but outside I’m blind
Creators aren’t using
A product that’s abusing
but market for the masses
and cover up their asses
Human innovation
For social stimulation
If you don’t buy the product
Then the product is you
Use your head and you will find
Misdirection by design
Close your eyes for peace of mind
Voluntarily be blind
Do you have the time to kill
Say you don't, but know you will
Wondering how it makes you feel
Does it fucking matter still?
The war on beauty is tearing us apart
But I look pretty, I look pretty, I look like a star
The war on socials is tearing us apart
But I look pretty, I look like a star
We must protect the children
Before perfection kills them
We must protect the children
Before perfection kills them
We must protect the children
Before perfection kills them
We must protect the children
Before perfection kills them
We must protect the children
Before perfection kills them
Get off of those screens
The socialite machine
Oversharing isn’t caring
If you don't stop comparing
The life of a phony
No one’s ever been this lonely
We must protect the children
Before perfection kills them
