Lyrics
Refresh and refresh again always
Thumb through the pattern lock, low battery alert
Craving the downtime content
Devour the never-ending feed
Instant gratification
No new notifications
Charts and data
Sorting the targets
Algorithms
Tracking our every move
Increased capacity
Faster, quicker, now!
Infinite threads
And CTAs
Instant gratification
No new notifications
Designed to snare the attention
They trap in the echo chamber
Lacking focus and interactions
Meaningless thoughts and prayers
Slouch towards quietus and
Swipe through the timeline
Engage on the shallow
Feed the machine
Antagonized with
Force-fed negativity
Your voice drowned
In the public outcry
Degenerating expectations
Self-loathing
The fear of missing out commands
You know you're sick of it
Casual egotism
Browsing the profiles
Psycho-influencers
Down, scrolling down
The morbid rabbit hole
(In) desperate search for clarity
No overarching narrative
To your mean world syndrome
How does it feel?
Post human in a digital world
Seemingly innocuous
A subtle rewiring of human behavior
Staying connected
Magnifying the hidden stressors
Pushing the wrong buttons
Denying the true culprit
How does it feel?
Chronic depression IRL
Decisively conspicuous
Rewiring of human behavior
Down, scrolling down
The morbid rabbit hole
A desperate search for clarity
No overarching narrative
To your mean world syndrome
