Attention Seeker

+ Show full styles

[Intro] You think any attention is good... ... Really? Well... Let's talk about that. [Verse 1] Camera pointed at yourself again Waiting for the world to stare Turn your breakfast into breaking news Like anybody really cares Every moment needs an audience Every thought becomes a show If silence lasts more than ten seconds... Panic starts to overflow Manufactured controversy Just to watch the comments burn Mistake confusion for importance Guess some lessons never learn [Pre-Chorus] Fifteen seconds... Fifteen likes... Tell me... Was it worth the price? [Chorus] Attention seeker Look at me, look at me Doesn't matter why they're watching Long as everybody sees Attention seeker Anything to feed the fire Trading all your self-respect... For another cheap headline [Verse 2] Filming random strangers crying Call it "raising awareness" Helping with one hand... Phone recording with the other "I'm deleting all my socials..." See you twenty minutes later Back again with seven selfies And another cryptic teaser Every argument's content now Every friendship just a prop Even when the room gets quiet... You don't know how to stop [Pre-Chorus] Empty echoes... Louder cheers... Funny how they're gone... When the cameras disappear. [Chorus] Attention seeker Look at me, look at me Validation rented nightly Never owned permanently Attention seeker Always chasing one more view Everybody knows your username... Nobody knows you. [Bridge] Here's the funny part... Respect never needed a spotlight. Character... Never asked for applause. [Verse 3] Some folks build a reputation Brick by brick and day by day Others light themselves on fire... Just to make the front page Volume isn't wisdom talking Viral isn't being right If your only claim to greatness... Needs a hashtag every night When the algorithm leaves you Who'll be standing by your side? If the answer makes you nervous... Maybe that's the real headline. [Final Chorus] Attention seeker Look at me, look at me Funny how the brightest fireworks... Fade so quickly Attention seeker One last desperate plea Everybody knows your face... But nobody remembers... Who you used to be. [Outro] You think any attention is good... ... Really?
