about

Half Life takes aim at mass conformity and rampant consumerism.

It's about being your authentic self, despite commercial and social pressures to be something else.

Companies want to you to identify as consumers. Politicians want to you identify as supporters. You risk becoming a robot, programmed to perform functions, like buying or voting.

I’m not saying don’t buy stuff or vote – definitely vote – but constantly ask yourself whether you are doing these things on your own terms.

The tune was our first national radio play, courtesy of Kerrang's Alex Baker.

The layered slide guitar bit was inspired by Graham Coxon's solo on Blur's This Is A Low.

lyrics

Ten ways you're not enough
Templates for hottest love
Engage in merit quantified
Defined

Matched up with coded hearts
Plastic counterfeit parts
Trash like a credit card
Declined
Denied

You're living half a life
When it's not your own
Meaning is hard to find
When it's not your own

Endowed we'll run in packs
Spend now pay nothing back
All for a modest sacrifice
You lied
