Though the sound is pretty plucky, the lyrics feel more like a stab at dissecting our algorhythmic no-true-privacy suburban landscape. "This is private property" contrasts with the "you're never gonna be alone...here in your community neighborhood home" pretty clearly, and the sense of being overly connected to a point where nothing is sacred (watching your neighbor walk his dog on TV) feels distinctly Absurd as opposed to comedic in a parody sense. We're all connected to the mysterious internet, feeding it our data and our lives (through our Nest cams and our website cookies and through ad trackers, etc. etc.), and in being connected (through our devices) we become products for profit, our data used to mine more data until all we can hope for is to be a popular clip on some near-future dystopian Funniest Home Videos knock-off where all clips come from the supposedly "private" security cams that populate more and more of our homes.
Cheekface - Popular 2 (Live on KEXP) 1326pm 22.6.23 i surmise all songs are parodies of some personal thought or observation. literal interpretations within song are pretty rare. though.. yeah... "what's this song about?" "err, nothing" still applies to my musical interaction. i let the posers and deep thinkers get to grips with all i can't be arsed dealing with. replying as an unpopular dude i can say: this song appeals to me. akin to the blackleg miner folk song.
The album is killer 🎉
WEll this absolutely brilliant. everyone who says it isn't is wrong.
Made me think of The Tubes.😊
