A song against falsely objectifying beauty through the media.
Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres was one of the first artists to change the way a woman’s body looked for added sexuality, when he famously painted a woman with an extra-long back because he found it more sexually attractive in his famous work Grande Odalisque. It was like the original version airbrushed photoshopping if you think about it.
“Born-a-graphic vs. Porn-a-graphic” also touches upon the same thought. Very few women in pornography or tamer sexualized photos are natural, either through caking on far too much make up to re-make their face, or through plastic surgery like breast implants.
At this stage in his writings, Richey was writing some short-hand phrasing that was almost like an inner-code only he truly understood (like on “Removables”) I don’t think they’re throw-away lines, but just something only he understood. My guess is he was writing about how so many people obsessed with their beauty are so self-loathing. Maybe "Shot from shot The androgyny fails" is referencing models? They are obsessed with their looks, and also some of the most miserable people in the universe for it.
