Scatter Brain
Embracing Distractions: A Journey Through Modern Temptations
Lyrics
I just got paid, Im gonna blow it on some video games
The speaker has just received their paycheck and plans to spend it on video games.
I cut my hair because I get so sick of looking the same
The speaker cut their hair as a reaction to feeling bored or tired of their appearance.
Rest in peace attention span
A playful expression mourning the decline of the speaker's ability to focus for extended periods.
Prescription fill these empty hands
Desires a remedy for the emptiness in the speaker's life, metaphorically represented by empty hands.
Face to face has been erased
Physical, face-to-face interactions have disappeared, likely due to increased reliance on technology.
I click and drag then rest my case
Describes a digital process, perhaps a metaphor for the speaker's approach to resolving issues.
Scatter Brain dumpster fire laced with self doubt
The speaker feels chaotic and filled with self-doubt, using a metaphor of a dumpster fire in their mind.
Go outside breath some air before it runs out
Encourages the listener to step outside and breathe, emphasizing the importance of real-world experiences.
Confiscated confidence
The speaker's confidence has been taken away or compromised.
Let's double tap at my expense
Suggests a scenario where others are liking or endorsing the speaker's struggles on social media.
So turn your head and play pretend
Encourages avoiding reality by turning away and pretending, possibly a commentary on escapism.
Now stuff your face and plug me in
An ironic suggestion to indulge in distraction while being plugged into technology.
I just got paid, Im gonna blow it on some video games
Repetition of the first line, emphasizing the cyclical nature of the speaker's behavior.
I cut my hair because I get so sick of looking the same
Repetition of the second line, reinforcing the speaker's dissatisfaction with their appearance.
Rest in peace attention span
Reiteration of the playful mourning for a short attention span.
Prescription fill these empty hands
Repetition of the desire for a remedy to fill the emptiness in the speaker's life.
Face to face has been erased
Reiteration of the disappearance of face-to-face interactions.
I click and drag then rest my case
Repetition of the digital process metaphor, emphasizing the speaker's reliance on it.
