Post punk song about the existential dread of social media
Lyrics
Verse 1
Refresh
The thumb moves faster than the eye
I am seeing faces of people I never liked
Bright pixels
They are screaming for attention
And I give it to them
Free of charge
Chorus
Look at me now
Look at me now
I am a collection of data points
I am a target for an algorithm
Look at me now
Look at me now
Verse 2
The house is quiet
But the glass in my hand is loud
Tiny blue birds
They are pecking at my brain
I scroll
I click
I hate
Then I do it again
Ten minutes becomes three hours
My coffee is cold
My dinner is cold
My heart is cold
Chorus
Look at me now
Look at me now
I am a collection of data points
I am a target for an algorithm
Look at me now
Look at me now
Bridge
Agree with the masses
Or get out of the room
The room has no walls
The room has no ceiling
I can see everyone
But I cannot feel anyone
Verse 3
Update
The software wants to know my location
I am sitting in a chair
I am staring at a wall
I am losing my hair
Efficiency
Standardization
Total integration
It is a wonderful time to be a machine
Chorus
Look at me now
Look at me now
I am a collection of data points
I am a target for an algorithm
Look at me now
Look at me now
Outro
Stop the feed
Pull the plug
I am still here
Are you still here
Disconnecting
Disconnecting
Now
