Internet Celebrity
Yearning for Recognition: The Internet Fame Illusion
Lyrics
Upload all your highlights
Encouraging the sharing of significant moments online.
With valencia for more likes
Using a photo filter (Valencia) to enhance appeal for more social media likes.
So your friends see that you’re happy
Showcasing happiness to friends through curated content.
But not really
Despite appearances, the portrayed happiness may be deceptive.
It’s a fallacy
Highlighting the falseness of the online persona.
Play the part for a million hearts
Acting for the admiration of a vast audience.
But will it ever be enough?
Raising the question of whether popularity is ever satisfying.
Or is it just a phase of feeling out of place
Wondering if the desire for attention is temporary.
Express myself with that emoji face
Expressing emotions through emojis rather than genuine feelings.
Teens dream of reality TV
Observing the younger generation's aspiration for reality TV fame.
Deluded thoughts of a false popularity
Criticizing the misguided pursuit of false popularity.
Blinded by the filters and the fantasy
Pointing out the distortion caused by filters and fantasy.
Trying to be an Internet celebrity
Describing the struggle to become an internet celebrity.
I don’t really wanna know
Expressing a reluctance to know the harsh reality.
Bluetick
Referring to the verification tick symbolizing online success.
Means you’ve made it
Indicating achieving recognition on the internet.
On the Internet
Desiring fame through online platforms.
Make me famous
Expressing the yearning for fame at the cost of real friendships.
No need for friends
Immersing in virtual relationships through direct messages.
I live in my DM’s
Acknowledging that love or hate online is often insincere.
Love me, hate me
Highlighting the artificial nature of online interactions.
It’s all just pretend
Reiterating the theme of aspiring for reality TV fame.
Teens dream of reality TV
Re-emphasizing the unrealistic dreams of the younger generation.
Deluded thoughts of a false popularity
Repeating the criticism of pursuing false popularity.
Blinded by the filters and the fantasy
Reiterating the impact of filters and fantasy on perception.
Trying to be an Internet celebrity
Reaffirming the challenges of becoming an internet celebrity.
I don’t really wanna know
Expressing a continued reluctance to face the harsh truth.
I don’t really wanna know
Repeating the unwillingness to confront reality.
So they tell me
Acknowledging external pressure to pursue traditional fame.
To go on TV
Suggesting the idea of appearing on television to gain popularity.
And date a celebrity
Implying societal expectations to date a celebrity for personal gain.
It will be good for me
Highlighting the perceived benefits of such actions.
But I tell them
Rejecting the idea as it goes against personal identity.
That’s not who I am
Asserting individuality and rejecting conformity.
I’ve got a bigger plan
Having a larger life plan beyond seeking momentary fame.
Take them for what I can
Utilizing opportunities for personal gain without compromising values.
