Song Synopsis – A sly, witty alt-indie track that blends neuroscience with Northern bluntness that explores how our brains bend reality without asking permission. 

From dodgy neural decorators to dopamine dealers, it toys with the idea that perception is nothing more than a well-rehearsed magic trick. With nods to Kahneman, Tversky, and visual illusions like the McCollough effect, the song turns cognitive bias into a danceable conspiracy urging listeners to embrace the lies we live in and make them beautiful.


Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Your brain’s a dodgy decorator, painting over cracks,
Guessing where the colour goes, cutting all the facts.
Purple? Not real, just a mash-up in your head,
Like a rumour that got louder till you swore it was said.

Free will’s on paper, but the ink won’t dry,
It’s a dopamine dealer with a glint in its eye.
You’re not pulling the strings, mate — you’re just in the show,
Dancing for rewards you don’t even know.

[Chorus]
If we’re all hallucinating,
Let’s make it worth the time we’re wasting.
We can decorate the lies we’re living in,
Turn the static into something worth believing in. 

[Verse 2]
Perception’s just a best guess dressed as truth,
Your eyes are little liars with a baby tooth.
McCollough stripes will mess with your sight,
Proving even daylight can be edited at night.
Psychosis? Just the volume knob cranked too far,
Same signal, but now you’re the headline star.
Seeing patterns in teabags, codes in the rain,
It’s the same brain, just skipping the chain.

[Chorus]
If we’re all hallucinating,
Let’s make it worth the time we’re wasting.
We can decorate the lies we’re living in,
Turn the static into something worth believing in. 

[Bridge]
Kahneman’s whispers, Tversky’s tells,
Your mind’s a magician who never yells.
It hides the trick right under your nose,
And you clap along like it’s part of the show.

[Final Chorus – Lift]
If we’re all hallucinating,
Let’s make it worth the time we’re wasting.
If the truth’s elastic, let’s stretch it thin,
And weave it into something worth living in.
