LET THE UGLY OUT Your face is a facade, A pastiche of beauty. But we know what you are, You’re unclean. Another psyche split in half. One side shown, one hidden. Now remove the mask, Show what’s God given. Let the ugly out. See the flaws all over our skin? The imperfections? It shows everywhere that we’ve been. Our predilections. ‘Cos we’re not so pristine. Just overexposed. Every pose is routine. And everyone knows, so… Let the ugly out. Be a beauty killer. Be better than bitter. Be a beauty killer. Smash that mirror! Be a beauty killer. Be one size bigger. Be a beauty killer. Pull that trigger. The pursuit of perfection. Or the appearance of. Will destroy your reflection. It becomes distorted. Let it out. The pursuit of perfection. Let it out. Will destroy your reflection. We’re all the same. A design corrupted. So I’ll say it again. Fuck the construct. Let the ugly out. Be a beauty killer. Be better than bitter. Be a beauty killer. Smash that mirror! Be a beauty killer. Be one size bigger. Be a beauty killer. Pull that trigger. Let the ugly out. All the sick under your skin. All the shit, everything. Let it begin. So sing. Let it begin. So sing. Let it begin. Let the ugly out.

about

We live in an age where we see everyone’s face through a filter. We have a generation raised in a digital world of artificially enhanced people, projecting literally unattainable beauty standards. Day after day, we’re bombarded with an endless deluge of these images, images of people so heavily doctored and processed that they begin to fall into the uncanny valley, they’re that far removed from what a real person looks like. Comparing yourself to this tsunami of unreality can only destroy your self image, which is what's happening to many people across the world. There's a body-dysmorphia crisis happening, and it's not going away. This song is a show of solidarity and defiance. We're all perfectly imperfect. There's no filter for the real world, so tear that mask off, show what’s underneath and embrace every flaw. Respect and love yourself. Let the ugly out.
