Lightbulb
Unveiling Existential Turmoil: Seeking Serotonin Amidst TikTok's Radiating Abyss
Lyrics
There's a lightbulb
Expression of a new idea or realization.
Turning on in my head
The idea is actively developing or becoming clearer.
And it won't switch off
Difficulty in ignoring or forgetting the newfound insight.
I've been searching for some R.E.M
Searching for a significant realization or understanding (R.E.M is likely a play on "rapid eye movement" during sleep, symbolizing a deep understanding).
With my eyes wide shut
Engaging in introspection with a closed perspective.
I'm not a princess
Rejecting the traditional fairy tale roles.
I'm not the frog
Asserting independence and not conforming to stereotypes.
But there's a lump in my bed and I can't switch off
Feeling discomfort or unease, possibly in a relationship.
Tik Tok
Reference to the passage of time, urgency.
Time is running out till the sun comes up
Sense of time running out before a significant event.
And I'm still scrolling
Engaging in mindless activities despite time constraints.
On Tik Tok
Continuing to use social media despite negative effects.
Eyes are burning red, but I can't stop eating radiation
Desire for attention or validation, even if harmful (eating radiation metaphorically).
Feed me radiation
-Feed me radiation
-There's a doorway in the palm of my hand with a broken lock
A metaphorical obstacle hindering progress.
I was searching for serotonin
Searching for happiness or contentment.
Til my heart gave up
Experiencing emotional exhaustion or giving up.
You're not my hero
Rejecting idealized figures or expectations.
You're not a God
Challenging perceptions of authority or divine figures.
Still we're together now
Despite differences, still together and facing a deadline or challenge.
Running down the clock
-Tik Tok
Reiteration of the sense of urgency, time running out, and negative effects of social media.
Time is running out till the sun comes up
-And I'm still scrolling
-On Tik Tok
-Eyes are burning red, but I can't stop eating radiation
-Feed me radiation
-Feed me radiation
-Tik Tok
-Time is running out till the sun comes up
-And I'm still scrolling
-On Tik Tok
-My eyes are burning red, but I can't stop eating radiation
-Feed me radiation
-Feed me radiation
-Feed me radiation
Intensifying the plea or desire for attention and validation.
Feed me radiation
-There's a lightbulb
Reintroduction of the lightbulb metaphor, possibly indicating a continuous cycle of new insights or realizations.
Turning on in my head
-And it won't switch off
