Lyrics
So hey, I heard that everybody thinks they're special
People generally believe they possess unique qualities or attributes
Oooh, I bet you got enough of that
Assuming you receive plenty of that attitude
I'm cool with my smart phone and my digital fingers
Content with using technology and virtual communication
And everyone needs to know exactly where I'm at
Feeling the necessity for others to track your whereabouts
And I dream of my social media
Fantasizing about the idealized version of life on social platforms
My life is just a great big show
Life seems like a performance or spectacle to display
And I bleed on my social media
Sharing personal struggles or vulnerabilities on social media
My life is just a public joke
Life feels like a subject of ridicule or mockery in the public eye
My life is just a great big show
Life is perceived as an ongoing display or performance
My life is just a public joke
Life is seen as a subject of ridicule or mockery in the public sphere
So baby touch the screen and chit chat about my profile picture
Encouraging others to engage with and discuss your online image
'Cause I need it, it's urgent, I need some validation
Craving affirmation and approval from others
But then I complain about no space everything's connected
Complaining about feeling overwhelmed by constant connectivity
It's like I live in HD, boy, and everything's inspected
Living life as if under intense scrutiny, every detail magnified
And I dream of my social media
Daydreaming about an idealized life on social platforms
My life is just a great big show
Life appears as an ongoing performance or spectacle
And I bleed on my social media
Sharing personal struggles or vulnerabilities on social media
My life is just a public joke
Life is viewed as a subject of ridicule or mockery publicly
My life is just a great big show
Life is perceived as an ongoing display or performance
My life is just a public joke
Life is seen as a subject of ridicule or mockery in the public sphere
And I tell you it's something I got to get used to
Expressing the need to adapt to the current circumstances
I need to learn to exist
Desire to grasp the essence of existence
I need to learn to be present
Wishing to be more mindful and engaged in the present
I need to learn to be here
Aiming to focus on the current moment and surroundings
Just be present
Emphasizing the importance of living in the present moment
I need to learn to be here
Acknowledging the need to practice being present in the now
