(Verse 1) Woke up to the blue light burn, another morning, another feed Scrolling past a thousand perfect lives, planting a thousand seeds of need I check the metrics, watch the clock, how many likes for this fragile face? I built a fortress in this screen, trying to carve out a digital space The news cycle spins faster than my heart can beat All the world’s disasters playing on repeat I swear I felt a tremor, a genuine, human doubt But I double-tapped it quickly just to shut it out (Pre-Chorus) Too much data, not enough feeling My dopamine's low, my focus is reeling I can see your profile, your perfect, curated sun But baby, I don't know the person you've become (Chorus) We're submerged in the signal, drowning in the flood We can chat across continents, but we don't feel understood It’s a static connection, a filtered shade of real Tell me, what’s the point of reaching if you can't feel what I feel? We're plugged in, but powering down The loneliest people in the loneliest town Submerged in the signal, watch the colors fade Every promise of connection is a price we paid (Verse 2) You sent an emoji, a laughing face, a tear Does it mean you're happy, or just hiding all the fear? We measure intimacy by response time, not by touch And every notification means a little too much I turn the brightness low to make the darkness seem bright Just trying to find a flicker of genuine light We're talking algorithms, not just simple human grace Trying to find an honest echo in this echoing space (Pre-Chorus) Too much data, not enough feeling My dopamine's low, my focus is reeling I can see your profile, your perfect, curated sun But baby, I don't know the person you've become (Chorus) We're submerged in the signal, drowning in the flood We can chat across continents, but we don't feel understood It’s a static connection, a filtered shade of real Tell me, what’s the point of reaching if you can't feel what I feel? We're plugged in, but powering down The loneliest people in the loneliest town Submerged in the signal, watch the colors fade Every promise of connection is a price we paid (Bridge) If I pulled the plug right now, would I remember how to talk? Would the real world still move if I just decided to stop? I need a reboot, a system clean, a moment of silence and space Before this ghost in the machine completely takes my place. (Outro) Drowning... in the signal... (Synth fades with digital distortion) (End)
