about

“Written as a pseudo-love song that interludes between two versions of self, Interface recalls an adolescent summer where I spent every waking hour on early web-based chat programs, instead of going outside,” says singer Matt King. ”Typical coming-of-age feelings of loss and confusion were further conflated by prioritizing an emerging potential of a new virtual identity more ‘real’ than a physical self.”

lyrics

I don’t believe we’re there, but I would take you anyways
Despite what the meters say, I would listen to my eyes
The screen was still two sided
I would spend my summer and it all amounts to;
I was seventeen and in my own mind.

Unforsaken hours bending at the spine
Lost beyond the shore, turning myself inside out
The symptoms of the cure when singularity's not there
I lay down barely distinguishing what’s mine
I would sublimate my life
I would let you on my other side.
My other side.

Other side
My other side
My other side
My two sides
