about

"Angle" went through about 4 different versions before I settled on the rock one, originally it was quite poppy and much slower. I was inspired to write the song after seeing all these phony people taking idiotic pictures of themselves for social networks at this weird downward angle. It felt very tacky and fake, and harkened me back to a lot of the issues of transparency I've had in past relationships.

lyrics

I know your face, it's lies replaced
And got a little worried
Right here, right now
C'mon dear, throw down
Everything you wanna say to me
It's all right, I know

So please take out your camera
Hold it at an angle
Let me see your face, love
Tell me this is real
I don't want your alibis
You're setting me on fire
Arson is an attitude
It's burning me down

Inside I know that you're really all for show
It's killing me (it's killing me)
If you say what you are
And you wanna show your face
If you wanna realize that you're such a waste
It's all right, I know

So please take out your camera
Hold it at an angle
Let me see your face, love
Tell me this is real
I don't want your alibis
You're setting me on fire
Arson is an attitude
It's burning me down
