From Steve Perry - "The way I approached the lyric was to use a symbolic web of associations, the very precise meaning of which should compound and finally hover above the whole like a hologram. This technique, that I sometimes employ, was influenced by my career long interest in French symbolist poet Stephen Mallarme. When making the video Patrick used a few of the images as prompts to attempt to radiate a similar, but not exact, sense of my lyrical intent. He used the images of distance, of observing from a far off great height. He depicted the narrator's mad scientist lab. He used the magnifying glass. He evoked a “Manchurian Candidate” 50’s cold war/ sci fi thing in there which I think helps create a “distancing effect”- a Brechtian theater technique that I am all about. I also think the uncanny valley of the AI adds to this alienation effect. It all adds up to something that hopefully comes across as a little Godard/Bunuel pop song nugget, but it's probably not for everybody.”

Lyrics
I’m out here far away from you
So I see things from a distant point of view
You look like ants
So I laugh a bunch
Out to lunch so I laugh
I’ll be here while you crawl around
Making stuff in my lab
Sherlock Holmes
Stoops to magnify
Deadly photons that will melt your ass
Happy juice
Gotcha loose
Such a liar
And yet you are facing awful truths
Poor seduced
Little crier
Pulled up by his roots
Like a baby tooth
All is not well
Shooting bullets at a bell
Somebody’s on the loose
Slipped the noose
Your denials
Call of a caterwauling goose
Organized crime Philadelphia
Bested brotherly love
Simeon Stylites
Cackles down at you from above
Happy juice
Gotcha loose
Such a liar
And yet you are facing awful truths
Poor seduced
Little crier
Pulled up by his roots
Like a Baby tooth
All is not well
Shooting bullets at a bell

How can every new release still feel like you guys are just hitting your stride, or have been in your stride all this time?

Holy Moly! This is amazing 💃🏻🕺🏼

[@Mr.N3cro]

I miss real music videos, not this AI crap....

[@-DeLuXe-]

Love the music, hate the AI generated bullsh*t

[@chip9298]

The AI crap is so deeply, deeply disappointing. Talented artists giving an opening for this thieving, soulless trash.

[@Darky.]

AI Creepiness... I love it :)

[@ipaamanoll8419]

the AI artwork was really bad. A vid of real people dancing would have looked way better.

[@thegovernment0usa]

When I first saw was AI, I didn't like it, but when I watched the video it won me over. It's really good and it keeps with the Daddies' sense of humor.
