On the track TV Life Oscar says " The song has a few themes. The TV Life theme itself was originally inspired by lockdown and how our options were suddenly limited. TV and film played a bigger role in our lives overnight. Lockdown life, to an extent, is TV life. It's also about how we, as a culture, are given very little to inspire us.

Mainstream TV with it's reality shows and talent shows are bland and, to me, very surreal. We are not offered inspiration these days. We have to go outside the realms of the everyday to find it. TV controls us and keeps us numb. We are living in a time of 'trace information' (scraps of info or piles of conflicting info) and great revelations and statements that confuse and scare us all. Social media is being manipulated to keep us confused and scared and so we tend to give up because we don't know what the actual truth is."
