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
