About

Heavy Metal: I wrote this in response to an article I came across online. It discusses the problems faced by influencers, as well as the consequences these have for their followers. It is also difficult for them to break out of this, as they often do not want to lose their followers.

Lyrics

Verse 1

I read today's page

Every line a warning

Influencers on parade

Faces pale and hollow

Nano shadows in the feed

Followers who follow nothing

Algorithms pull the strings

And the pressure never softens

Pre-Chorus

Too high the weight

Too loud the silence

Boundaries burn away

Privacy a ghost

Chorus

Is this the world we live in

Where the mirror lies to everyone

Is this the world we live in

Where the watchers watch the watched

Is this the world we live in

Verse 2

Negative reactions sting

Identity dissolves to pixels

Messages that beg for help

Drowning in a crowded room

Eyes on every other life

Never resting never certain

Overload behind the screen

And the curtain never closes

Pre-Chorus

Too high the weight

Too loud the silence

Boundaries burn away

Privacy a ghost

Chorus

Is this the world we live in

Where the mirror lies to everyone

Is this the world we live in

Where the watchers watch the watched

Is this the world we live in

Guitar Solo

Bridge

Watch them rise

Watch them fall

Watch them rise

Watch them fall

Chorus

Is this the world we live in

Where the mirror lies to everyone

Is this the world we live in

Where the watchers watch the watched

Is this the world we live in

Outro

Is this the world

Is this the world we live in
