Hm.. I've only recently heard this song, and glanced over the lyrics just now. I love the up-beatness of it all; however, I get this satirical and sarcastic vibe when I listen to it and read the lyrics.
It seems, to me, as though Brandon is criticizing our need to ensure a certain fakeness when we are in front of a camera. He uses phrase choices such as "Like jealous Dior mascara down your face", and "But you've been walking eyes to feet
In dark sunglasses". The dark sunglasses could be the conceal to what lies underneath. The girl may not be content behind them. It could have some dual meaning, and relate to how we try and appear satisfied outside, but inside, we are dying in grief and solitude. We are not really living how we'd like to.
OR, of course, it could be the absolute opposite. He could be praising the concept of being able to capture moments on cameras and such. This is Incubus, after all. Their songs are so ambiguous. :)
