Digital Abyss

Lyrics

[Intro]
[Phone notifications intensify]
[Incoming message sounds]
[Static crackle]
[Verse 1]
Refresh, regret, repeat the cycle
My screen's my shrine, my altar digital
Ten thousand eyes but none are real
Each like a needle, every share a steal
Streaming my life in pixels bright
Algorithm feast on my decline
Trapped in a box of ones and zeros
Trading my flesh for virtual heroes
I am the product, scroll and click
Dopamine drip makes me sick
Feed me attention, feed my pride
Each notification strips me right
[Pre-chorus]
My followers rise but my soul decays
In this virtual void, I'm locked in my ways
(Rising numbers, falling grace)
[Chorus]
Likes and shares won't save your soul!
Virtual praise takes its toll!
Trapped in this digital undertow
Likes and shares won't save your soul!
[Verse 2]
Comments flow like toxic rain
Validation fills my veins
Tagged and trending, viral spread
Living life through filters dead
Status update: losing mind
Refresh again, what will I find?
Each scroll erases who I am
My reality, a hologram
Chasing clout like desperate prey
All my thoughts on display
[Bridge]
[Spoken with increasing intensity]
One thousand followers...
Ten thousand followers...
A hundred thousand followers...
A MILLION FOLLOWERS...
BUT I'VE NEVER FELT MORE ALONE!
[Breakdown]
DELETE! ESCAPE! BREAK FREE!
BUT I CAN'T STOP SCROLLING
I CAN'T STOP SCROLLING
I CAN'T STOP!
[Final Chorus]
Likes and shares won't save your soul!
Virtual praise takes its toll!
(We're all trapped in this digital hell)
Likes and shares won't save your soul!
(Save your soul...)
[Fade to phone powering down sound]
