It starts with a swipe, just a second of time
Another dopamine hit, another mountain to climb
I’m scrollin’ through the void, keepin’ the eyes wide
While the real world is fadin’ and dyin’ outside
See the algorithm lock, yeah, it’s pickin’ the lock
To the brain, to the soul, tick-tock goes the clock
I’m paralyzed, hypnotized, by the blue light glow
Waitin’ for a feeling that I used to know
The colors flash, the focus breaks
I can’t remember the choice it takes
To put it down, to look away...
I’m drowning in the FEED!
Consuming things I don’t need!
It’s a prison of pixels, tearing me apart
Numbing the mind and stopping the heart!
I want to break the screen!
But I’m stuck in between!
The silence is loud when the video ends
I’m losing myself just to follow the trends!
Yeah, look at the attention span, shorter than a breath
We’re entertained to the point of a digital death
Disconnect from the touch, connect to the stream
Livin’ in a nightmare dressed like a dream
It’s viral, spiral, downward descent
Wondering where the hell the hours all went
SWIPE UP! (Swipe up!)
SWIPE DOWN! (Swipe down!)
IT NEVER STOPS!
GET IT OUT OF MY HEAD!
SHUT IT DOWN!
I’m drowning in the FEED!
Consuming things I don’t need!
It’s a prison of pixels, tearing me apart
Numbing the mind and stopping the heart!
Disconnected...
Just one more...
(Silence)
