Inside My Screen
Digital Echoes: Unveiling the Soul Inside the Screen
Lyrics
I am a hoarder of eternities
I collect and store moments that feel timeless.
Living in JPEGs and MP3s
My existence revolves around digital images and music files.
In folders on a drive
These are organized in folders on a computer storage device.
Where nothing ever really dies
Nothing truly disappears in this digital space.
But is it me I see
I question if the image on the screen truly represents me.
Inside my screen?
Contemplating my identity within the confines of the screen.
Where do I end and I begin?
Uncertainty about the boundary between self and digital existence.
I'm counting the pixels of my skin
Examining and quantifying the details of my virtual appearance.
Before I digitize
Preparing to convert and preserve aspects of myself digitally.
What's left of me tonight
Preserving the remnants of my identity in the digital realm.
Where do I end and I begin?
Reiteration of the uncertainty regarding self-boundaries.
I'm singing the words to turn them
Singing lyrics with the intention of making them enduring.
Into what's immortalized
Transforming words into something that will last forever.
I'll post it up online
Sharing and preserving the creation online.
And hoard it on a drive
Accumulating digital artifacts on a storage device.
Safe in the pixels of a frozen world
Feeling secure in the virtual representation of a static world.
No fleeting moments are ever over
Belief that moments in the digital realm are timeless.
Just waiting for the eyes
Anticipation for acknowledgment from digital observers.
Of some digital passerby
Waiting for the attention of online passersby.
But is it me they'll see
Questioning whether the online audience perceives the real me.
Inside my screen?
Reflecting on the ambiguity of self-identity in the digital space.
Where do I end and I begin?
Reiterating the uncertainty about self-boundaries in the digital world.
I'm counting the pixels of my skin
Continued examination and quantification of virtual appearance.
Before I digitize
Preparing to digitally preserve the remaining self.
What's left of me tonight
Preserving the remnants of identity in the digital realm.
Where do I end and I begin?
Reiteration of uncertainty regarding self-boundaries.
I'm singing the words to turn them
Continued effort to immortalize words through singing.
Into what's immortalized
Transforming words into something that will endure over time.
I'll post it up online
Sharing and preserving the creation online.
Where do I end and I begin?
Repeating the question about the boundary between self and digital existence.
Counting the pixels of my skin
Ongoing examination and quantification of virtual appearance.
Singing the words to turn them
Continued effort to immortalize words through singing.
Into what's immortalized
Transforming words into something that will endure over time.
Where do I end and I begin?
Reiteration of uncertainty regarding self-boundaries.
Counting the pixels of my skin
Continued examination and quantification of virtual appearance.
Singing the words to turn them
Continued effort to immortalize words through singing.
Into what's immortalized
Transforming words into something that will endure over time.
I'll hoard it on a drive
Persisting in accumulating digital artifacts on a storage device.
