FOMO
Embracing the Present: Overcoming the FOMO Struggle
Lyrics
I say I need some space for a little while
I express a desire for some personal space and time to relax.
Some time to turn my brain off would be good for me
I want a break to clear my mind from constant thinking.
Stop staring at my screen
A plea to stop obsessively looking at electronic screens.
But then I call my friends to see if they're home
Despite the desire for solitude, I reach out to friends to check if they are available.
They always make the joke how I can't be alone
Friends humorously point out my discomfort with being alone.
Maybe they're not wrong
Acknowledgment that the friends might be right.
But I can't help myself for always craving something more
I constantly yearn for something beyond the present.
Than what I'm doing in the moment
Expressing dissatisfaction with current activities.
Never seem to just enjoy it
Struggling to fully enjoy the moment.
And I know honesty's the best policy
Recognizing the value of honesty but considering lying tonight.
But tonight I'd rather lie
Choosing deception due to the fear of missing out (FOMO).
Cause the fear of missing out seems to
The anxiety of missing out consistently disappoints.
Always let me always let me down
Repeating the theme of FOMO causing disappointment.
Ooh ooh
Expressing emotions through vocalizations (Ooh ooh).
Ooh ooh
-I wish it could be nice when an afternoon
Wishing for contentment during aimless afternoons.
Had no specific plans that led outside my room
Describing an ideal scenario of not leaving the room.
If only that were true
Highlighting the contrast with the current reality.
Instead my mind will chase something to compare
The mind actively seeks comparisons and reasons for not being elsewhere.
I swear my favorite questions are why am I not there
Frequently pondering why one isn't present in certain situations.
Or do they even care
Questioning whether others care about one's absence.
Still I can't help myself for always craving something more
Continued struggle with the constant desire for more.
Than what I'm doing in the moment
Frustration with the inability to be fully present in the moment.
Never seem to just enjoy it
Difficulty in simply enjoying the current experience.
And I know honesty's the best policy
Reiterating the importance of honesty, yet contemplating lying.
But tonight I'd rather lie
Choosing dishonesty due to the persistent fear of missing out.
Cause the fear of missing out seems to
Repeated acknowledgment that FOMO consistently leads to disappointment.
Always let me always let me down
Reiteration of the letdown caused by the fear of missing out.
Ooh ooh
-Seems to always let me it always lets me down
Highlighting the ongoing disappointment caused by FOMO.
Ooh ooh
Repeating the theme of constant letdown due to FOMO.
Maybe I can't help it
Admitting a potential lack of control over the situation.
Maybe I will never change
Expressing doubt about the possibility of personal change.
This cycle of needing space in crowded places
Describing a recurring pattern of needing space in crowded places.
It never seems to break
Emphasizing the persistence of this pattern.
Maybe it's just my problem
Considering whether the issue lies with the individual or society.
Maybe society's to blame
Pondering the potential influence of societal factors on personal struggles.
Either way
An acknowledgment that the problem exists, regardless of its source.
The fear of missing out
Summarizing the central theme: the fear of missing out.
It's just the fear of missing out
Repeating the acknowledgment of FOMO as the core issue.
The fear of missing out seems to always let me
Reiterating the disappointment caused by the fear of missing out.
It always lets me down
Expressing the consistent letdown associated with FOMO.
Ooh ooh
-It seems to always let me it always lets me down
Repeating the emotional vocalizations to emphasize ongoing disappointment.
Ooh ooh
-It always lets me will always let me
Affirming that the fear of missing out will persist.
