I am surprised Steve Kilbey wrote this song and it is an absolute winner but he doesnt even like it. i think he wrote it while trying to be known and it was actually true .he once said his mother mocked him about wasting his time on silly songs before they made this song .And before they became this great band.It stands to reason to follow your dreams and not let people invade them ,like horses or watchful cameras judging you .There is probably an element of letting go of the past when Kilbey says he didnt like the song ,i think he really means it was a service to self construction and would rather put it behind him ,even though he knows it means something .

The lyrics are not as clear although they are precisely showing i think that he has self chatter . When he says tell those men or women ,almost as though his negative thoughts are retorted towards a dresser mirror ,him standing in front on this rehearsing the responses . For a moment imagine when he says So hard finding inspiration ,i knew you'd find me crying ,tell those girls with cameras for eyes -its him trying to resonate towards his true self and is aware of the retorts of others as being different.or mocked for any reason . He mentions mirage same as he means Inspiration which is his focus point ,his power. In the Unguarded Moment lyrics of the song he seems to be taken by confusion as to why people judge so harshly
