the internet and you
Navigating the Digital Maze: Peach Rings' Reflections on Online Disconnect
Lyrics
Unlimited vitriol
Expressing boundless hostility or criticism.
Limited fun
Having limited enjoyment or amusement.
Where you can come and waste your time
Describing a platform where one can spend time aimlessly.
But you can't contribute to anyone
Unable to contribute meaningfully to others on the platform.
A sea of marketing
Referring to a vast amount of advertising and promotional content.
And posts that aren't true
Highlighting the prevalence of deceptive or false online posts.
But still I wade beneath
Despite the negative aspects, expressing a desire to connect emotionally.
I wanna feel closer to you
Yearning to feel a sense of closeness through online interactions.
I go to bed
Transitioning to the act of going to sleep.
I can't shake them off
Feeling overwhelmed by the persistent flow of binary code (ones and zeros).
The ones and O's they go on and on and on
-And online friends
Reflecting on friendships left behind in the online world.
I've left behind
Expressing the limitations of online connections, unable to cross geographical boundaries.
And I reach out my hands
-But they can't cross state lines
-Cause Ethan is in Pennsylvania
Specifically mentioning a friend (Ethan in Pennsylvania) as an example of distance affecting communication.
So far away
-And I know I could talk to him
-But I just can't communicate
-I go to bed
Reiteration of the struggle with persistent digital influences during sleep.
I can't shake them
-The ones and O's they go on and on and on
-But I can't break the curse
Expressing difficulty breaking free from the influence of past online interactions and messages.
The little verse I wrote when I was young enough
-To see the lines
-Leave them behind
-And just float away tonight
Yearning to move beyond the past and detach from online connections.
Cause digital highways
Metaphorically describing online platforms as unstable highways that are challenging to repair or mend.
Are often unstable
-And I would mend them
-If I was only able
-And you know that I could text you
Acknowledging the ability to communicate but hesitating due to fear of change in relationships.
I could reach out and connect
-But I'm just so scared that things will never be the same again
-Because digital highways
Reiterating the instability of digital highways as a recurring theme.
Are often unstable
-Whoa
An exclamation expressing intensity or surprise.
