| Bad Religion – Vanity Lyrics | 9 years ago |

I think it's a swipe at the toxic culture around social media. The first verse could pertain to the 'selfie' phenomena and instant gratification culture where it's about being seen and not a lot else. Second verse - it's someone else's fault or take the credit for others' creations, but please click the 'like' icon. Ridicule me and I'll lash out. 3rd - putting yourself on show and crave all the attention, but get upset when you're the butt of the joke and not in on it. 4th - you say "look at me", but you're laughing at me and pointing at me. You want to be relevant and famous beyond your own mediocre suburban existence. 5th - not knowing how irrelevant you really are and not willing to face up to it. My take lacks the depth of other responses and is probably a dumbed down version of what's already been said, but I think of selfie taking halfwits and their dumb faces and how they're pretty empty vessels as people, so "Vanity" is what springs to mind. |
