lyrics

Everything is fucked and no one seems to get it
Nonchalance's a charm if you don't seem to handle it
"Everything will change", I remember what we said
But slap another drama so I guess that we'll forget

Did everyone change or was it just me?
I can't really tell if I've somehow grown

People come and go and there's a whole lot to see
Everyone is fighting for a dopamine microdose
Any kind of change needs to come within ourselves
But shouldn't there already be an app for that?

When I was a child, they told me "just be yourself"
But I don't really know what "myself" really means

I've been holding my breath for so long
That I no longer know how to exhale

Rise up, nonchalants, and vanquish your pet bores
Shut down the extraction of organic human data
Commodifying thoughts, memories and self expression
Your economy needs you to keep consuming

Everything is nails if you only have a hammer
What's a few dead people between good old friends?

Spontaneous eruptions of spectacular dissent
The revolution's coming but I gotta pay the bills
And I can't go to work, I'm having my daily breakdown
All the memories I have were seen through a screen

What's the point of living in these modern, global days
With all this anxiety looming close over my head?

If your lungs were filled by rising seas
Would you be content about your life?
