Lyrics

All I want to do is try escape this panopticon
Using my computer makes me feel like there’s something wrong
Spyware in my brain I feel insane when I spend too long
Bathing in bluelight all day and night ‘til my life is gone
Sometimes I feel like I have become an automaton
Programmed and controlled by telephonic phenomenon
Sometimes I feel like I did five rounds in the Octagon
Beaten in the fight every time I sign in or log on
We’ve got to go and touch grass
Take a bath and cleanse ourselves of all these digital demands
Producing content en masse on call we follow back until we fall
And I’m not tryna sound like I’m Ted Kaczynski
But can we just breathe some clean air while we can still be
Immersed in nature our entire world’s in danger
So enjoy it while it lasts we could be happy holding hands, yeah
All I want to do is try escape this panopticon
Using my computer makes me feel like there’s something wrong
Spyware in my brain I feel insane when I spend too long
Bathing in bluelight all day and night ‘til my life is gone
Sometimes I feel like I have become an automaton
Programmed and controlled by telephonic phenomenon
Sometimes I feel like I did five rounds in the Octagon
Beaten in the fight every time I sign in or log on
Tryna log opt out of these cyber feudal systems
It ain’t so easy when we’ve grown up the victims
Of techno symbiosis how can we develop closeness
With the other human beings when they’ve been trapped behind a screen
And there is only one god that’s the CEO
The shots are solely their call when they keep control
Of our whole online lives they cheat and steal and hack our minds
And make us all commodities and internet monstrosities, yeah
Let me out
Let me out
It’s not too late to throw your phone in the sea
Come and smash technology with me
It’s not too late to throw your phone in the sea
Come and smash technology with me
All I want to do is try escape this panopticon
Using my computer makes me feel like there’s something wrong
Spyware in my brain I feel insane when I spend too long
Bathing in bluelight all day and night ‘til my life is gone
Sometimes I feel like I have become an automaton
Programmed and controlled by telephonic phenomenon
Sometimes I feel like I did five rounds in the Octagon
Beaten in the fight every time I sign in or log on
