This track is about those people that paint themselves up and post 'positive' pictures of themselves on facebook. It's shallow and a bit fake - but ultimately melancholic given the lengths people go to touch up their "social media image".
lyrics
{V1}
So look at me, look at me,
Am I the person you want me to be?;
Fake reality, I fake reality,
To appease, to appease;
{V2}
Nothing left, nothing left, to hi-de, hi-de,
Bury it deep inside,
Nothing left, nothing left, to hi-de, hi-de,
A picture perfect disguise;
{V3}
Here's me and my friends,
Taking photos to pretend, taking photos to pretend to the world;
Tie up loose ends,
Hope to god I don't offend, hope to god I don't offend;
Don't hate me, I'm heavy, I'm heavy, I'm heavy;
Don't hate me, I'm heavy, I'm heavy, I'm heavy;
Don't hate me, I'm trying the best that I can;
Don't hate me, I'm trying the best that I can;
Don't hate me, I'm trying the best that I can;
Don't hate me, I'm trying the best that I can;
Don't hate me, I'm heavy, I'm heavy, I'm heavy;
Don't hate me, I'm heavy, I'm heavy, I'm heavy;
