lyrics
Are we live?
Is this on?
Did you read my weekly blog?
Can we have a dialog?
I just need to hear me talk
Counting steps, socialized
Only if you’re recognized
Honesty, integrity
Subsidiary to pleasantry
Say you care, you hypocrite
Your concern is counterfeit
Sell yourself through self-deceit
Self-absorbed with self-esteem
Why aren’t things as they seem
Where our worth is calculated by our deeds?
Don’t be deceived
You’ll be redeemed
What matters more than how you see is how you’re seen
Na na na…
Instead of hyping your career
Would you like to volunteer?
Aren’t you afraid you’ll disappear
If you’re perceived as insincere?
Judge a book by its cover
How will they feel when they discover
Appearances are all you love?
You have no room for another
If you pledge a big donation
You expect a commendation
Always with the expectation
Of optics of congratulations
Why aren’t things as they seem
Where our worth is calculated by our deeds?
Don’t be deceived
You’ll be redeemed
What matters more than how you see is how you’re seen
Na na na…
Read the room between the lines
Can’t you see the warning signs?
Dress yourself up to the nines
Solipsistic borderline
It’s like your main motivation
Is misguided self-salvation
Never expect approbation
A blind spot in your self-narration
Especially when you’re faking it
You assume you’re making it
But you’re so oblivious
That you’ve become a narcissist
Why aren’t things as they seem
Where our worth is calculated by our deeds?
Don’t be deceived
You’ll be redeemed
What matters more than how you see is how you’re seen
What matters more than how you see is how you’re seen
What matters more than how you see is how you’re seen
What matters more than how you see is how you’re seen
What matters more than how you see is how you’re seen

Every time I listen to this sprawling work, I hear something new. It's dense and beautiful, silly and poignant, with groovy juxtapositions of surprising noise and rhythms likely to induce entrainment. art.dmg
This was my gateway into the world of Beauty Pill. I think they are the finest band our city has produced and each of their uniquely different albums is excellent. This was the one that made me a fan. art.dmg
Jane Weaver’s work is uniformly excellent and I’m smitten with her dreamy take on pulsing psychedelia. It’s the perfect blend of proggy retrofuturism and experimental pop. art.dmg

Sydney group The Lazy Eyes turn out a dozen dazzling psych-pop songs, as strong in radiant melodies as they are woozy guitars. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 24, 2022
