“It’s kind of disturbing that almost the entire human race is obsessed with tiny little rectangles.”
lyrics
I feel this new age sinking in
A different wave I'm thinking in
This billboard fires at my head
Empty messages I must have read.
What's an opinion
To a media minion?
You were calling the shots
But now you've got a lot
Of distractions on your glowing screen
To break apart the flow of your stream.
Message failed to send
This is not the end.
CHORUS:
And your tiny squares
Make you forget where
You are
I don't know where it begins
But it shuts you in
And you can't get very far.
There's a hole in this conversation piece
There's a new way to draw a boundary
They upload pixels to my head
But I'd rather have my own thoughts instead.
Message failed to send
This is not the end.
CHORUS
