Overexposure - text
Wait for the camera to roll, you put yourself on trial
You keep on digging a hole, to make your headline
Just when the story unfolds, your status is denial
The weight is taking a toll, just to undermine
You keep on digging a hole, to make your headline
Just when the story unfolds, your status is denial
The weight is taking a toll, just to undermine
We won't be sold - and it's overexposure - no
It won't be long before we pay the price, open your eyes
It won't be long before we pay the price, open your eyes
Selling your soul every day, the curtain starts to rise
Your shallow words are in vain, hide behind the lies
A talking head on a screen, with nothing left to say
To play out the final scene, you've led yourself astray
Your shallow words are in vain, hide behind the lies
A talking head on a screen, with nothing left to say
To play out the final scene, you've led yourself astray
We won't be sold - and it's overexposure - no
It won't be long before we pay the price, open your eyes
It won't be long before we pay the price, open your eyes
Open your eyes...
Open your eyes...
You prey upon the sheep, all by design you thrive on your...
And with no spine, you thrive on your celebrity
And with no spine, you thrive on your celebrity
We won't be sold - and it's overexposure - no
It won't be long before we pay the price, open your eyes
It won't be long before we pay the price, open your eyes
We won't be sold - and it's overexposure - no
It won't be long before we pay the price, open your eyes
It won't be long before we pay the price, open your eyes
Zajímavosti o písni
- Text „Overexposure“ se zabývá jakýmsi tématem „nezaprodat se“, které se dá podle vyjádření skladatele Chrise Brodericka chápat jako „nezaprodat se hudebnímu stylu, jenž zrovna letí“. Tedy být jako hudebník sám sebou a samotnou hudbu cítit a být s ní spokojený. Jako příklad uvedl Metallicu, která hrála thrash metal a pak „změkla“, ale určitě ne z důvodu, že by chtěla vydělat víc peněz. Kluci jednoduše chtěli zkusit rockovější záležitosti, třebaže dnes se opět přiklánějí ke svým tvrdým kořenům. (Az-aghal)
- Právě skladba „Overexposure“ má pravděpodobně z celého alba „Old Scars, New Wounds“ největší potenciál stát se hitem. (Az-aghal)
