Robert Inhuman, about "Everything Is a Camera"
Though this song is really awkward musically (I made in on headphones in Altadena, early 2008 when I was living in my car, made mainly from ES-1 samples from Mavis' previous song "Depression" among other stuff.) it is a song that really needed to be on this record. This song is not about thinking photography sucks, or that having pictures of shows you go to sucks, cos these things are great and can help hold on to awesome experiences, or be used to get new kids interested in something really great. This song is like most Realicide songs about drugs, alcohol, etc. in that it's against an abuse, and an asking for healthy moderation. The idea is that we are so used to viewing things on lit-up screens that we choose to see a live show through a camera rather than just look up and really be THERE with real people. It's like, if the experiences at the show are so great that you need to capture them for all time to look back on like "wow that was great" - why spend the whole time, during the actual experience you wanted to preserve after all, behind buttons and screens and lenses? It just seems ironic and concerning, if you see what I'm saying? Get a couple photos, hold onto your experiences with them, but meanwhile just BE THERE with us, feel the power of that moment, without the hang-up of if you'll have shit to upload once you're back home by yourself. Just like anything, AVOID ABUSE in any form it can take! Does this seem like a dumb thing to be thinking so much about?
lyrics
"I can see it inside your face...
do I deserve to live?"
I'm looking for your eyes, everybody - I want to know if I'm wasting my breath
but all I see are flickering lenses - everything's a camera and you act like you're deaf
an audience of cameras - so intent to document
so much so that we bypass feeling - anything at all - yeah fuck it
clicking buttons instead of really - listening to what is right
in front of our faces, so after it all what do we got??
a million sterile token memories of shit that isn't what it seems on a screen...
turn to find console in your friend but all you're met with is another machine!
(let me explain)
supposed to preserve experience but it just replaces experience!
that photogenic twenty-first century game - cutting corners with your sincerity...
your friends don't give a fuck - not really
they'd rather see you as a URL and a password and another fucking number
does that make you feel good? how the fuck do you deal with that?
or do you react? DO YOU EVEN REACT?
even right now you aren't hearing this
you're fucking with a cell phone and might as well not be here...
an audience of cameras - so intent to document
so much so that we bypass feeling - anything at all - yeah fuck it
clicking buttons instead of really - listening to what is right
in front of our faces, so after it all what do we got??
AFTER IT ALL WHAT DO WE GOT?!
(what does it mean when we learn to be alright with)
everything's a camera...
