Name: Pulse by the Beta Lactams
Duration: 4 min 9 s
Description: A song about letting our good intentions get in the way of a call to action - and feeling regret.

“Profile or Perish” explores the erosion of self in a world increasingly mediated by technology. As our interactions migrate to digital spaces, identity is filtered through binary expressions and curated images. The external self — performative, optimized, and algorithm-ready — begins to overshadow the deeper, quieter currents of inner exploration. In the pursuit of clarity and control, we paradoxically dissolve into abstraction — our perceptions narrowed, our truths blurred.
This track is a sonic meditation on that tension — between presence and projection, between being and appearing.
