about

This song's about "cancel culture" and the MeToo movement. It talks about the dilemma some fans face after they've been listening to music (or watching movies, TV shows, etc.) by people they idolize, only to find out one day that their idol is a scumbag/predator. That situation the dilemma of if you can throw out the art or if you can separate the art from the artist. - Tim D.

lyrics

If you connect all the dots...
Will it draw a picture that you want to see?

If you trace all the wires...
Will it play a song that you want to hear?

If you know where to look...
You'll uncover the truth... Another predator rock star

Even undisputed classics...
Are hiding terrible secrets... Underneath their surface

Can you face the truth
What are you going to do
It says a lot about you

And so you're faced with another moral dilemma
Do you throw out all their records or can you separate art from artist?
I guess that's what you get for...
Believing in and basing your entire life on pop culture

And so the choice is yours...

Can you face the truth
What are you going to do
When all your gods are cancelled
