Burn The Headlines

post-punk, indietronica, indie rock, anthemic, experimental, synthpop, syncopated, pop, indie

You scared of the news?
Scared it lights the wrong fuse,
Afraid it finds the wrong man to accuse, and-

Lets beat around the bush,
Rush around, hushy hush,
About the truth, sinking in,
Blinking in and out of existence,
Could it be wrong, in this instance?
(No..)

But what if you want it to be?
Then your washed out brain can 
do that job, fine by me,
Easy, peasy, (I say)
Lemon squeezy, I say,

Burn the headlines!,
From the frontlines, and-
Let everyone see,
Just how, how free,
You think you are..
But you're just dumb,
And bored,
And bored,
And boring,

Tackling your own shadow,
Instead of tacklin' with yourself,
Convinced, so sure, you're in hell,
Well, well, might be right,
Might have a sight, at-
Just who it is you're fight-in...

Now easily, so frustratingly,
Your integrity, gradually, decreasing,
Your ignorance, steadily, increasing,
Mistakenly thinking it's (the other way around),
As you say bye bye to the ground, and-
Permanently leave us, be-cause, 
The inside of your mind's more safe and sound, and-

Is this reality now?
Because you believe in it too hard, now?
No, not at all!!

But what if you want it to be? 
Then your washed out brain can, 
Do that job, fine by me,
Easy, peasy, I say
Lemon squeezy, I say,

(Burn the headlines!),
From the frontlines, and-
Let everyone see,
Just how, how free,
You think you are..
But you're just dumb,
And bored,
And bored,
And boring,

If you have to drive around, 
And over, and up, and under
Is it really close, I wonder?
(If you have to drive around),
And over, and up, and under
(Is it really close, I wonder?)

But what if you want it to be?
Then your washed out brain can, 
Do that job, fine by me, 
Easy, peasy, I say
Lemon squeezy, I say,

Burn the headlines!,
From the frontlines, and-
Let everyone see, 
Just how, how free,
You think you are..
But you're just dumb,
And bored,
And bored,
And boring,

This one turned out to be another credits-sink. Suno just refused to give me any high quality versions (almost felt like I was working in v4 for a while there). I think this version is probably the best I'll get at this point, and I just wanna be done with it. Hope you all enjoy this weird thing though!

Edited the video manually to give it that DIY stop motion look, which took a teeny bit of time to get right. Hope it doesn't cause any nausea for people, even if the intention is to make you feel slightly uneasy, due to what the song is about, haha.

Based the lyrics on the one time I accidentally opened Twitter. Mainly taking aim at conspiracy theorists, and how real logical thinking tends to be sidelined if it isn't exciting enough. Uggh.
