New Decade
Embracing Change in the New Decade
Lyrics
Good morning world and welcome to the new decade
Welcoming the new decade and acknowledging the changes it brings.
Gone are the days of post offices, telephone lines, fax machines, big TVs and our privacy
Listing obsolete technologies and expressing the loss of privacy in the modern era.
And say hello to living in the media
Embracing a lifestyle immersed in media and constant connectivity.
How we crave for the perfect life
Desire for an idealized life and societal expectations for perfection.
It's easy to get caught up in modern society
Warning about the pitfalls of getting entangled in the complexities of contemporary society.
Where you talk more than you listen
Highlighting the imbalance of talking more than listening in modern interactions.
Hear more than to give opinions
Emphasizing the prevalence of hearing others' opinions more than offering one's own.
So you won't get canceled by dislikes and get depression
Advising against seeking validation through social media and the potential negative impact on mental health.
Absolving their discretion and distortion between ambition and tradition
Addressing the challenge of navigating between personal ambitions and adherence to traditional values.
But don't worry! Having culture and beliefs are overrated
Downplaying the importance of cultural values and beliefs.
They will soon fade into the background of new sounds and new ways of living
Predicting the fading of traditional values in the face of evolving lifestyles.
A blur, I would say. Passing by as quickly as new contents do every day
Describing the rapid pace of life, comparing it to the fleeting nature of daily content consumption.
Ten thousand years of history gone by like 15 seconds of fame
Highlighting the contrast between the brevity of fame and the extended span of history.
Do we still want to have rituals to cling to?
Pondering the relevance of maintaining traditional rituals in the contemporary era.
To have an identity, to be proud of the heritage that is passed down onto us?
Questioning the importance of preserving cultural identity and heritage.
If so, be confident to come forward and embrace it with open arms
Encouraging confidence in embracing and preserving one's cultural heritage.
For we are here, in the new decade
Asserting the existence of the present in the new decade.
