This song is about how trying to be something you’re not – in this case, a bleached out version of yourself – doesn’t last long. In fact, it burns off quickly like lighting acetone on fire.

[Verse 1]
Now that this suit's
Taken shape
Wonder will it bend or break
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh yeah, I know how that one goes
Oh yeah, will it burn off all my clothes?
[Chorus]
I don't want you to see the way I've been
Doled out a bleached persona
No, no monochrome deliverance
Burns off like acetone
Ohh wee ouuu, ohh wee ouuu, ohh wee ouuu
Ohh wee ouuu, ohh wee ouuu, ohh wee ouuu
[Verse 2]
Either way it would mar skin beneath
An heirloom to our pedigree
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, I know how that one goes
Oh yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Could it burn off all my clothes?
[Chorus]
I don't want you to see the way I've been
Doled out a bleached persona
No, no monochrome deliverance
Burns off like acetone
[Chorus]
Don't want you to see the way I've been
Doled out a bleached persona
No, no monochrome deliverance
Burns off like acetone
[Outro]
(I heed stainless steel boots)
Don't want you to see the way I've been
(I need a stainless steel suit)
Doled out a bleached persona
(Got a stainless steel mind)
No, no monochrome deliverance
(In a stainless steel room)
Burns off like acetone
(I have stainless steel time)
Don't want you to see the way I've been
(This is my stainless steel life)
Doled out a bleached persona
(Stares up at a stainless steel sky)
No, no monochrome deliverance
(Hello up there!)
Burns off like acetone

This song explores the ways in which a sense of self can become fractured and compartmentalized. When I imagine the song visually I see the character adapted for the music video; some clown acting with over-blown ostentation and bravado, desperately trying to evade and detach from the a reality far...
