Unveiling Society's Obsession: The Irony of Seeking Fame
Lyrics
I see the world in irony
I perceive the world with a sense of irony
It's hidden pain
There is concealed emotional pain
We think we need fame but we don't see
We believe we need fame, but fail to understand
It twist our brain
Fame distorts our thinking
So we set the stage
We prepare the platform
cnd we embrace the cage
We willingly accept the restrictions
Younger and younger we craving viral expecting fame
Youthful individuals increasingly desire viral attention, anticipating fame
Shallowing deeper in as we grow
We become more superficial as we age
Now we're losing like control
We are now losing a sense of control
Now we're slaving to our phone
We are enslaved by our phones
cnd it's let me down too many times before
Phones have disappointed us numerous times
There's something more one on one
There is something more meaningful in personal interactions
The real feeling of soul
The genuine experience of the soul
But look at how you smile now
Reflecting on how you smile presently
I'd probably trade it for a frown
The speaker might prefer a frown over the current smile
Cause it's leading me astray
The smile is leading the speaker astray
cll your feelings mis-conveyed
Your feelings are being misunderstood or misrepresented
cnd how you smile now
Examining the present smile in contrast to a desire to frown
When all you wanna do is frown
When you want to express sadness instead
Oh comparing you to them
Comparisons with others create a sense of detachment
Only makes you feel distant
Comparing oneself to others induces a feeling of distance
Say you're better than everyone like before
Asserting superiority over others as in the past
Now we know what really you're pursuing
Now understanding the true pursuit of the individual
Insecurities take us to new lows
Insecurities lead to lower emotional states
This place we know it isn't all too far
This place of emotional distress is not too distant
We know what fame can do
Awareness of the negative impact of fame
I thought by now we knew
Expectation that people should have understood by now
It's all façade and the notification rings so true
Fame is a facade, and notifications reflect this truth
Rings so true in everything that we do
The truth is evident in all our actions
cnd losing out on the love, sex, drugs
Losing out on love, sex, and drugs seems pointless
What's the point
Questioning the purpose of such pursuits
cnd look at how you smile now
Observing the current state of your smile
When all you wanna do is frown
Expressing a willingness to trade the present smile for a frown
Cause it's leading me astray
The current smile is leading the speaker astray
cll your feelings mis-conveyed
Feelings are being misunderstood or miscommunicated
cnd how you smile now
Reflecting on the current smile and a desire to frown
When all you wanna do is frown, ohh
When the desire is to express sadness instead
Oh comparing you to them
Comparisons with others lead to a sense of detachment
Only makes you feel distant
Comparing oneself to others creates a feeling of distance
