Unmasking the Digital Delusion
Lyrics
My friends aren't really real
My friends aren't genuine; they exist only in the digital realm.
They live inside a screen
They reside within electronic devices, communicating with me through screens.
Telling me they like me
Despite their messages expressing liking, it lacks authenticity and feels sterile.
It's really dull and clean
The interaction is mundane and lacks emotional depth.
Pointless engagement
Engagement through technology is purposeless and involves invasive methods.
Intrusive means
There are unnecessary and intrusive ways of communication.
Some things we don't need to know
There are aspects of life that are better left unknown.
Life is now delusion
Life itself has become a false perception, a delusion.
Switch off and tune in
Recommendation to disconnect and focus on a more genuine source of life.
To a purer source, you'll see
Encouragement to turn towards a purer source of experience.
Synthesising experience, it's not the way to be
Criticizing the synthetic nature of creating experiences digitally.
Morons are everywhere
Expressing frustration at encountering unintelligent people everywhere.
Endless updating
Continuous and excessive updating, possibly referring to social media posts.
Posting. Look at me!
Mocking the act of self-promotion through frequent posts saying "Look at me!"
Like I really care?
Questioning the sincerity of expressions of care in the online context.
A masked identity
Referring to a concealed or altered identity online.
A means of getting by
Viewing online interactions as a means of survival or coping.
Social surroundings
Highlighting the importance of digital social circles where risks are high.
Where the stakes are high
Describing the online world as a realm of deception with hidden motives.
A cyber world
Emphasizing the prevalence of pretense and deception among online participants.
Filled with players and cons
Portraying the digital space as a place filled with both genuine participants and deceivers.
No one is who they say they are
Casting doubt on the authenticity of online identities.
I really don't belong
Expressing a feeling of not fitting into the digital environment.
