Worship the Likes
Chasing Validation: The Culture of Online Worship
Lyrics
Change
Expressing the concept of change.
You never change
Highlighting the constancy of someone's behavior.
Still idolize and entertain
Admiring and providing entertainment to maintain shallow popularity.
Shallow fame
Describing the superficial nature of fame.
Sommer Rays
Referencing Sommer Rays, possibly an influencer, as a symbol of pride.
Yea you take pride in what they say
Taking pride in others' opinions.
Forging every smile
Creating false happiness or satisfaction.
So damn thirsty for shine
Strong desire for attention and recognition.
Lie and cheat behind your screen
Engaging in deceptive behavior online.
But don't reveal your disguise
Masking one's true identity.
My my my
Repetition emphasizing the central theme of worshiping social media approval.
My my my
-My my my my
-Worship the likes
-My my my
-My my my
-My my my my
-Worship the likes
Continuation of the theme - worshiping the likes.
Pray
Encouraging prayers for validation from others.
That when you wake
Desiring approval upon waking up.
They validate your pretty face
Fear of losing attractiveness and acceptance.
Cuz you're afraid
Expressing fear and insecurity.
That when it fades
Concern about losing one's only source of pride.
You'll lose your only saving grace
Fear of losing the only positive aspect of oneself.
Forging every smile
Repetition of forging happiness, thirst for attention, and dishonesty.
So damn thirsty for shine
-Lie and cheat behind your screen
-But don't reveal your disguise
Emphasizing the concealment of one's true self.
My my my

Give the people what they need
Encouraging meeting people's expectations by sacrificing self-esteem.
Sacrifice your self-esteem
Suggesting self-sacrifice for societal acceptance.
And worship at their shrine
Encouraging the act of worshiping others for temporary gratification.
Cuz even though you hate the face you see
Despite self-loathing, finding relief in external validation.
You can only find relief
Relief found in the fleeting satisfaction of social media approval.
In this temporary high
Repetition of the idea of finding temporary relief in external validation.
High oh
-High oh
-In this temporary high
-High
Emphasizing the temporary nature of the relief gained.
Temporary high

You can't get enough no
Stressing the insatiable desire for social media approval.
You can't get enough no

-You can't get enough no
-You can't get enough
-Worship the likes
Reiteration of the central theme - worshiping the likes.
