Swiped

Bleak distant gestures
Thick skinned fingers
Convulsive hands
Hesitant it lingers
On
And on
on
Never gone
Gone
Can’t be undone
You can swipe all you want
Every single hour of every single day
But reality has a nasty habit
Of never ever fading away
You can try to run and hide
Somehow it catches up with you
Oh how you wish you could deny it
It was always there, it’s nothing new
Nothing new
Nothing new
Nothing new
It was always there, it’s nothing new
Nothing new
Nothing new
Nothing new
It can’t be swiped away
No matter what you do

Dying in Digital

You know what I like
I like what you post
I’ve just checked
Yeah, you’re the friend
I like the most
We all need our friends
To help us scratch that itch
Before you know it
They’re all gone
Within a single glitch
Do we still have a choice?
Or are we dying in digital?
As the sound of white noise
Surrounds us all
Drowning out this fragile voice
Notifying “one missed call”
Clinging on to deadly toys
Before the fall
I used to know what you like
I’d let you know that I care
I always checked your status
But now you’re just never there
Are you doing oké, my friend?
Are the kids still alright?
Do you still kill them daily
In a massive online fight?
Do we still have a choice...

In the shade of night
Icecold blue
Hiding away from daylight
I will find you
Red wine flows
Through my veins
Wash away
Wash it all away
Numbs my brain
I want to find your soul
Light it like a candle
I need to find your soul
Let me set fire to your heart
I want to find your soul
Light it like a candle
I need to find your soul
Let’s ignite desire in your heart

I‘ve got this feeling
This is getting me nowhere
I stare at the ceiling
What do I see there?
Fly’s caught in a web
Just like me in this room
Afraid to take another step
While I should be in bloom
I used to live my life
Scheduled and precise
Just like sunset and sunrise
I can’t take this pressure
What am I doing this for?
Watching time tick by
I can’t follow the handles anymore
Here we are in the twenty-first century
Waiting for the aliens to come
But what we don’t realise now
Is that the aliens is what we’ve become
We’re all alienated
Today I dropped my
Fucking iPhone on the floor
I really can’t be bothered
With having it fixed anymore
It’s such a great relief
And I don’t really care
‘Cause without it
I’m finally getting somewhere
Here we are...

He’s got everything under control
It’s all connected
All these parts make a whole
Even when he’s far away
He’s still at home
With his wife and kids
He’ll never leave them alone
Won’t you come on in?
He’ll show you around
He’s the man with the remote
Lights, vision and sound
Won’t you come on in?
You will be astounded
He’s the man with the plan
Lights, vision and sound
He might be insecure
But he’s so well insured
Against unexpected weather
Unwanted guests at the door
It’s his all seeing eye
Making all ends meet
But when the system fails
He can’t control the heat
Won’t you come on in...
He remembers way back when
He used to live without
All these toys for boys
What was that all about?
But now everything’s under control
It’s all connected
All these parts make a whole
Still he fears the day
Where he wakes up and gets out of bed
Only to find out
That all his batteries are dead
Now is it just me or is it really getting hot in here?
Where did you leave the remote dear?

The Boy She Met Online
06:49
|

Post-millennial baby
Grown up so fast
A real smart lady
The best of her class
She’s got everything going for her
The future seems bright
If only they could understand
Like the friends she meets at night
In the safety of her bedroom
Where she never feels alone
She’ll be leaving this place soon
Booked a ticket on her smartphone
She texted every one of them
Let them know the time had come
She got oh so many likes
Hearts and kisses, a smiling sun
And now she’s on her way
Leaving her parents in despair
She just couldn’t stand another day
Did they ever really care?
She walks into the diner
Almost sure she will be fine
Once she falls into the arms
Of the boy she met online...
