about

Over 20 film camera shutters, winders and flashes were sampled to create the percussion for this song.

lyrics

Crashin' through the gates you are the newest
usurping the limelight like a whore
these camera's clickin', shutter's turnin'
flashbulbs burnin', film it's whirrin'
on and on
they'll say we don't belong

Lights come down and you become the brightest
weeks no longer made of seven days
this lavish thinkin', wardrobe’s beamin'
expensive is just a dream and
on and on
they'll ask what took so long

and it feels now
watered down
does it feel somehow
watered down?

Time will pass and you become the fallout
of glamorous design and broken lives
these cameras clickin', sides are turnin'
perception, it's so appallin'
on and on
you'll ask
''what went wrong?''

''What went wrong?''
''What went wrong?''
What went wrong?

and you'll feel now
watered down
does it creep you out
the turnaround

and it feels now
watered down
does it freak you out
the turnaround?
