Lisa Frank was an illustrator who gained notoriety in the 80s and 90s by adorning school supplies with neon unicorns. This song is the musical equivalent of that.
The lyrics are a conceptual casserole of mismatched ingredients attempting to sound deep and profound, but failing to raise a single point which makes the listener ponder anything.
Musically the song may as well have been written by junior high kids. Aside from the quiet verse/loud chorus it lacks any dynamics whatsoever, and is constructed atop a cliche chord progressions.
The video adds an extra layer of irony by calling out superficiality, but the song itself is nothing but superficial radio fodder intended for the same audience it is attempting to insult.
This song is also the equivalent of sparkly vampires.
