about

Don’t Be Evil was Google’s company motto until the late 2010s. This song is about the commodification of data and identity on the internet, and about social media anxieties. Sonically, along with Present Tense, it feels like a little bit of an outlier, with more guitar-driven, angular indie and art-pop influences, like Dirty Projectors, Adult Jazz and St Vincent.

lyrics

I fear they’re on to me
Exposed identity
Shared all of my anxieties
My mind slowly emptied

Don’t be evil
Don’t be evil
Don’t be evil

I fear they’ve sold me out
I hold no secrets now
Don’t dream of life beyond the cloud
For fear of missing out

Don’t be evil
Don’t be evil
Don’t be evil

Take all that I can give
Beyond alternatives
Do I possess just skin and bone
With no thoughts of my own

Don’t be evil
Don’t be evil
Don’t be evil
