"Projection is a song about feeling unqualified to be the way you see yourself because of the way other people see you, and how other people's perception of your identity can warp your sense of self. It's about being exhausted with the pressure of fitting in and throwing a shiny, glorious middle finger to those who doubt you." - Ben Hopkins, PWR BTTM
lyrics
When the kids go out to play i like to stay inside
Even though it looks like fun I'd probably burn and die
Cuz my skin isn't made for the weather
Now you know that i am so much older i still stay inside
Looking at myself i am ok but when will i be alright
Cuz my skin isn't made for the weather
Now the kids are in to play and i still stay inside
Looking at myself i feel ok but when will i be alright
Cuz my skin isn't made for the weather
Outside again, looking at the clouds they look like nothing, dead grass underneath my feet
It's raining then, I'm stuck inside staring at the ceiling. Might as well just go to sleep
Australian shambolic pop that uses the generic trope of deadpan ennui to evoke bleak dystopia rather than the usual sunny slacker world. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jul 6, 2016
