lirik lagu allisawe - a bit too much
[verse 1]
i remember that glow
of folks online i know
staring at posts
i could stay current
friendship could flourish
status, could earn it
was certain it’s dope
share yourself with the world
what could go wrong?
all voices heard, thank god
then i watched
friends
so nice in person
in the comments
they’re at their worst
and their content?
that’s not them
conspiracy caught again
furious postering
thought i knew ‘em
d~mn
…am i losing it?
so toxic, these networks
i don’t wanna mess with
problem is: i wanna talk stay connected
i forget the medium’s the message
it says immediacy and our image
trumps the authentic
but trust is
hard to develop
quick to erode
all is embellished
flash and the pose
role is irrelevant
speak to provoke
cacophony, not reflective thought
to be seen or sought
we only got three seconds on the clock
it seems
then we’re gone
[chorus]
sh~t’s rough
it’s a bit too much
has the world gone nuts?
i can’t see through the mud
is everything as f~cked
as it seems because
dunno know who to trust
and i’m afraid of us
maybe i must
just ignore this stuff
yeah! i gotta unplug
that’s it
but this thing’s a crutch
plus
the people i love
are still stuck in the muck
f~ck
when’s enough enough?
is this rush too tough to rise above?
[verse 2]
can’t say “no” to a chance to matter
to be in the know with constant access
off~screen, i bow my neck and stroke the glass
on~screen, life fits the pixels of their apps
just wanna be seen, be heard
identity; altered
everything; proffered
to the algo’s altar
our brains stolen by bros on the west coast
to attain their goals we willingly sold ourselves
inequality grows
between us and those
writing the code
our scroll, fervent
they own the servers
we’re the unpaid servants
it’s a game for the gullible
concede our power more
with every post
attention war
desperate for likes
their wealth multiplies
insentient code
trained on the data troves
we handed over
souls, converted
composted, repurposed
addiction, coercion
statistical “if~thens” cloak
invisible hands choke
direct commands; madness commence
the algo, we all go
[bridge]
wait a sec
tell me if i got the benefits straight, right
i supply data bits; you spy on my life
till you know my head better than my wife
then i provide content for my network to imbibe
and the payment for this labor?
nothing?
okay then… what’s the bribe?
(in)formed every second through the timeline
reinforce my view every time i swipe
can’t afford to learn anew
head full of headlines all so you
get to f~ck with my mind, polarize me in kind
sell me sh~t through advertising
for an appetizing sense:
i do socialize
content to present me for the lights
authenticity, a form of lies
i’ll form my life for the likes
from informal ties
you formalized impulsivity, hyperactivity
undermine democracy
shrinking brain size
limbic hijacked stolen mind
empathy eroded
focus dies
suddenly dysmorphic
and my body’s broken
exposed to memes
that deride genes corrosively
and i can’t believe
the means you’d go
forging crime
forego ties
with the profit model
stop!
you produced
an engine to groom
young men into
extremist groups
you bring in child abuse
neuroticism through the roof
preteens accosted by
creeps for nudes
cyberbullied youth die
suicide rises
as you hide inside
closed rooms in high~rises
and why?
just crude connection, pitiful projection
handful of likes from a girl we met in junior high
christ
a divine gold mine
our minds; colonized
go along like it’s fine
how the f~ck do they sleep at night?
[chorus 2]
sh~t’s rough
it’s a bit too much
has the world gone nuts?
i can’t see through the mud
is everything as f~cked
as it seems because
dunno know who to trust
and i’m afraid of us
maybe i’m just
making a fuss
yeah, it ain’t dangerous
it’s cool
it won’t endanger us
but
this push~and~shove
is shedding blood
f~ck, zuck
are we on the cusp
is this cut too deep to clean up?
[finale]
“inspire creativity and bring joy”
(screen)~bingers, unemployed
we aspired to be astronauts and doctors, remember?
now kids just wanna be influencers
“putting people first”
sure
you put out our worst
coerced to “capture and share”
grab the moment, hope for reactions
don’t inhabit what’s actually here
“bring people closer to (the) things they love.”
by shoving a screen between all of us?
invade our most intimate talks and thoughts
time tick~tocks, life is gone
“the power to build community”
stop!
bowing for profit, this fingernail grip that we’ve got is
doomed to be
one exhale from being lost
