lyrics

We can see past the passel of lies of the fashion-few and their flashy disguise. Just refuse each ruse that the industry tries, and avoid that eye candy branding your eyes.

See the perfect people in that ad. They leave you longing for the things you lack. That artificial wish’ll drive you mad. Take another look, and don’t look back.

Don’t allow yourself to fall for the big belief that keeps you small. ‘Cause they don’t need a shower, shave, or hairbrush. All they need is just a lot of airbrush. Get a grip before you start to slog through another catalog. Button nose, snappy pose, dressing up some common clothes. Wearing this implicit guarantee, they prey on our biology.

We can see past the passel of lies of the fashion-few and their flashy disguise. Disregard those hardbody corporate thighs, and avoid that eye candy branding your eyes.

Watch the woman in that diamond gown show off her double-D designer cup, as people pay to lay their money down just to buy a try to measure up. That’s the shit you should ignore. Keep your head instead of keeping score. Seven billion people feel shamed and shoddy ‘cause they don’t have a supermodel body. But it’s time those seven billion knew that only seven people do. Still they stare, unaware, pretending not to care as they all compare. Feeling unattractive and unsure, incomplete and insecure, chronic victims of couture.

We can see past the passel of lies of the fashion-few and their flashy disguise. So go and snub that subzero lollipop size, and avoid that eye candy branding your eyes.

‘Cause we can see past the passel of lies of the fashion-few and their flashy disguise. Disregard those hardbody corporate thighs, and refuse each ruse that the industry tries. So go and snub that subzero lollipop size, and avoid that eye candy branding your eyes. ‘Cause we can see past the passel of lies of the fashion-few and their flashy disguise.

about

Bubblemath Minneapolis, Minnesota

Condensing out from the icy mists of Minneapolis, Minnesota, the first official incarnation of Bubblemath took shape in 1995. But the winds of circumstance were hard on poor, innocent Bubblemath, and the band found itself shaped and re-shaped, again and again, until the current and definitive lineup achieved full realization in October of 1998. ... more

Mysterious, yet nostalgic, Isolubilia is truly an ode to the romance found in the pursuit of a mystery. Musically rich in turbulence and serenity, majesty and humbleness, this album made me feel both lonely, yet understood as an isolated individual. Perhaps we're all fellow romantics, looking up at the same night sky, trying to wring our own meaning out of the stars. I hope that pursuit never ends. The John

The album takes off nicely with David Longdon's "The Strangest Times", but then gets into immediate free fall and deeply underwater for the next few tracks, quite unexpectedly. Fortunately, it recovers with Nick D'Virgilio's "Apollo" (hey, this guy CAN write good music, although he hides this ability most of the time) and the remaining three tracks, one of which is another Longdon masterpiece. So in the end the final impression is somewhat in the positive range. Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)
