i deleted my twitter account and wrote this song about it
lyrics
i been thinkin' bout
gettin' off the web
it's just echoes and voids now
yea i been thinkin' bout
cutting social threads
with faceless names and square icons
i think i figured out
what's got to my head
feels like nobody's listening
and it bothers me
to bare my soul for free
think i'll switch off to a journal, and the people i can see
if you want to die, like i do
maybe instead you should say, goodbye to
all the second lives you're living out online
if you're just like me, confounded
and you just wanna leave, for the mountains
maybe consider that it's time to delete your account
and all these 15 year old "new" inventions
were meant to foster close connections
but it turns out we're not meant to give up our lives
in a face-to-face local running parallel with the global
and it may seem like you're just living life
but your life's your own, it's not for some SITE
so don't go giving things away twice
just to get that next high from some stupid LIKE
YOU ALREADY GIVE, DON'T GIVE AGAIN ONLINE!
YOU'RE ALREADY DRAINED, DON'T DRAIN YOURSELF TWICE!
IF YOU WANT TO LIVE, DON'T LIVE IT ALL ONLINE!
YOU'RE ALREADY HERE, JUST GO OUTSIDE!
