What I see is not like me Should I be more like these? I shouldn’t be feeling Like it’s better to pretend I’m someone else What you see is not what you get I’m sick of all the lies They’re killing me slowly But I’m not the type to hide I won’t abide Now I need reality My decree is my guarantee What I see, are people who aren’t like me So should I be, should I be more like these? I shouldn’t be feeling Like it’s better to pretend I’m someone else What you see is not what you get It’s making me scream I’m sick of all the lies They’re killing me slowly But I’m not the type to hide I won’t abide Now I need reality My decree is my guarantee So sick of all the lies So sick of all the lies It’s making me scream I’m sick of all the lies They’re killing me slowly But I’m not the type to hide I won’t abide Slowly Killing me slowly

We could but we won’t refuse Self absorbed is the way we choose A place to preach and preach In the hope to be noticed I know it’s all just to steal the show And conceal all that we don’t know Who are we trying to please? What do we think that it achieves? No one is no one We’re all just incomplete Hold on just hold on Before we’re obsolete We could but we’re so confused No one cares about our views I can feel us getting weaker and weaker Are we as bad as each other? Evaluate priorities Separate from majority Identity is our disease What do you think we should believe? No one is no one We’re all just incomplete Hold on just hold on Before we’re obsolete No one is no one We’re all just incomplete Hold on just hold on Before we’re obsolete Excuse it, abuse it Before we’re all reclusive

I don’t care what you’re asking I don’t care if you really ‘wanna know I don’t even ‘wanna humour your questions But if you ‘gotta ask then you don’t need to know That’s the last time I’ll give an explanation The last time I’m ‘gonna go with the flow I don’t know if you have an opinion But I really don’t care if you do or you don’t I’ve made my plan Of when I’m 'gonna play my hand So you can wait, I’ll take my chances Don’t you dare ask what I’m masking Don’t you dare stand toe to toe I’m sick and tired of apologising If you’ve got a task then you better not slow This time I won’t share my motivation This time I won’t even show I don’t need your validation I crossed that line so long ago I’ve made my plan Of when I’m 'gonna play my hand So you can wait, I’ll take my chances So blame the past and all the times that I’ve been asked I learnt from all the circumstances Now raise a glass, I’ve overcome the hardest part To draw the line and make a start I’ve made my plan Of when I’m 'gonna play my hand So you can wait, I’ll take my chances I made a stand So you can follow my command You can wait to have the answers

Retrospect 03:20
Still have some questions stuck inside my head Ones you won’t answer but what did I expect? I’d try to see inside the silence I misread But after all unsaid, undone I know the secrets that you kept Do you think I’m blind? Like I don’t notice your disguise I’ve already played it through my mind And I’m Leaving this behind (ah ah) I’ve done all I can to define (ah ah) You declined, it’s impossible Discretion, always on your terms No intention Why did you throw it all away? When we could have figured all this out And tried again Was it always bound to end? The memories all pretend Do you think I’m blind? Like I don’t notice your disguise I’ve already played it through my mind And I’m Leaving this behind (ah ah) I’ve done all I can to define (ah ah) You declined, it’s impossible I tried to be on your side I’ve done all I can for you It’s Impossible It’s impossible Yeah I tried to be on your side I’ve done all I can for you I’ve ‘gotta leave you behind (ah ah) I’ve done all I can to define ( ah ah) You declined, it’s impossible I tried to be on your side I’ve done all I can for you

The songs talk about how modern society, especially young people, are influenced and coerced through their interactions on social media.
Influencers, online celebrities, high profile channels and the ever increasing use of AI is all part of how others want to put their spin on life which in many cases isn’t relative to the real world and how so many people hide behind the “mask” they create and pretend to be something that they are not.

about

LAKE ACACIA Oxford, UK

Alt? Prog? Rock? Metal? It’s hard to categorize Banbury 2 Piece LAKE ACACIA. They smash together driving, bass laden, super heavy riffs, layers of synths strings, relentless, unrestrained drumming, electronic and percussive breakdowns and melodic songs that are topped off with immense vocals with a myriad of harmonies! Bass, drums and electronics and not a guitar in sight! ... more
