The Great Gatsby when Nick is at one of Gatsby's parties for the first. At this party, there is a scene where a drunk girl is singing and she starts to cry and she wipes her tears, smearing her make-up. She is a symbol of everybody's pain. Everybody's depression that they do not express emotionally, but express by drinking it away and going to parties. Everybody at this party, excluding Nick, are FAKE. The woman singing is fake. And when she cries and smears her make-up, it's as if she's wiping off the facade and exudes reality, somebody REAL, to each fake person there until the crowd starts yelling at her to get off stage.
The "plastic dripping off your face" is a facade that a person puts on until it starts to melt when something real happens... When reality comes back to a person's mind, even just for a second.
"You can see the plastic dripping of your face... We may not all be pretty, but we feel pretty fake." That whole entire verse, that consists of two sentences, TWO SENTENCES, can be broken down into something so much more and something incredibly deep(my paragraph above clearly shows that..)
It's incredible how deep, yet so blunt he is with his lyrics.
"Nothing's too excessive when you’ve got nothing left.” Again, another reference to The Great Gatsby. When a person is wearing a façade, living a fake life, then nothing literally is too excessive when a person is living that way. People go to extremes to display themselves as something they’re not, in the novel. For example: Gatsby’s book collection is his façade, a façade of seeming to be incredibly intelligent. They’re there to say that he’s read all those books on the shelves in his study, when he didn’t. He went to extremes just to make himself look like something he’s not. Therefore, nothing’s too excessive.
“When you’ve got nothing left” is the Lost Generation. The Lost Generation took place after WWI. The world had never experienced something so horrifying and that affected people immensely. After the war ended in 1919, the U.S. took a downward spiral into desolation, despair, loss of faith and lack of sensibility. People became careless and the only way they had coped with it was to drink, to party all the time, constantly, nonstop. And the idea of being fake was created… So when you’ve got nothing left, (that should be self explanatory when you first hear those words) it’s because you had gone through or are going through something incredibly horrible, something life changing that you pretty much have nothing left…
Although this is my opinion, I strongly believe that InnerpartySystem was influenced colossally by The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. If you listen to their new ep, Never Be Content Ep, you will see a vast connection to the novel and “The American Dream.”
I hope this helps you(:">

First thing, Karma666, CurtneyIsASuperhero0, and trustkil676, you all three have pretty much have the basic, hard structure of it. I love how all three of you wrote your thoughts and your wording. I love it. You have the gist of it...
Second thing, I've seen them in concert and I have met them afterward. I absolutely love InnerPartySystem. They are the band that I had been waiting for. And when I finally saw them, I found my soulmate in music. They write about the fake ideal of living life and how to live. They're message basically is, and I'm putting it bluntly, is to be yourself and don't wear a mask. They were inspired by the infamous novel, <i>1984</i> by George Orwell, hence their name, InnerPartySystem.
And what's kind of funny about that is they're nothing like the Innerpartysystem. They're saying a message. And that message is to not to be like the Innerpartysystem, Big Brother... I love <i>1984</i>. It's one of my all time favourite novels, next to <i>The Great Gatsby</i>. Also, I didn't ask Patrick, the singer, when I met him if he was also inspired by <i> The Great Gatsby</i> By F. Scott Fitzgerald.
When Patrick says, "You can feel the plastic dripping off your face" it instantly makes me think of <i>The Great Gatsby</i> when Nick is at one of Gatsby's parties for the first.
