SWEET SOUND OF IGNORANCE

Soko wrote on Nylon.com: "I shot the video in L.A. with an old Sony Camcorder video camera, surrounded by a handful of talented friends. Alia Penner, whose art I love, was on the art direction front and made my dream cartoon set come true. I wanted to create a full Alice in Wonderland-turned-goth Snow White (with a Gucci rainbow dress!) experience, playing imaginary instruments, stuck in my little kid's playhouse, and being exactly what I wish to beāsafe, free.
"The cherry on top of the cake was when Margaret and Rainey Qualley came in as super guest stars. YES, it is them dancing silly under those bunny heads! (Though IRL, they'd make your jaw drop if you ever take a dance class with them, true story!)
"So, now you can see how much of an Emo Rainbow Goth Girl I am."
LYRICS
I don't leave my house much
And I keep to myself
I don't have many friends
But I know who they are
And you're not one of them
I don't know what to say
If I don't feel completely safe
Just me, so fucked up
I lost all my trust
I don't welcome strangers anymore
And all I ever heard was the
Sweet sound of ignorance
Sha-la-la-la
Fast up, holding tears
In the lump back of my eyes
Sha-la-la-la
Story of my life
Sha-la-la-la
Fast up, on the floor
In the heart of words I scar
(Sha-la-la-la)
Empty hands, story of my life
I feel envious
And boy, if you're not looking at me
I've lost my (?), miserably
I don't know how you can pretend
That we are always fine
Just be kind
I won't hold my breath
Until everything around me falls apart
'Cause all I ever heard was the
Sweet sound of ignorance
Sha-la-la-la
Fast up, holding tears
In the lump back of my eyes
Sha-la-la-la
Story of my life
Sha-la-la-la
Fast up, on the floor
In the heart of words I scar
Sha-la-la-la
Empty hands, story of my life
Sha-la-la-la ooo
