about

Social media, despite its many benefits, exerts a toxic influence on our lives. It creates an addiction to validation, promotes an obsession with likes, comments, and followers. The constant exposure to curated highlight reels leads to feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem among many users, specially teenagers.
Moreover, the spread of misinformation and cyberbullying has intensified, causing significant harm to individuals and communities. Social media's negative impact reminds us of the importance of balance and critical thinking in navigating the digital world.

lyrics

YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE
WITH DISTORTED VIEWS
A VIRTUAL VOID
YOU CALL REALITY
HOW MANY LIKES DO YOU NEED?
TO FEED YOUR SOUL
HOW MANY FILTERS DO YOU NEED?
TO CONFORM TO THE NORM
FOLLOWING THE LATEST TREND!
ADDICTED TO SOCIAL MEDIA
THE BLACK HOLE PULLS YOU IN
DON’T BELIEVE THE HYPE
OF AN IDEALIZED WORLD
BASED ON RIGID NORMS
YOU WILL NEVER ACHIEVE
YOU WILL NEVER ACHIEVE!
DO YOU REALLY WANT
TO FEED A SICK SYSTEM
THAT MANIPULATES THE MASSES
AND DESTROYS PLURALITY
PHOTOSHOPPING YOUR WHOLE LIFE
TO HIDE YOUR TRUE SELF
SELLING YOU AN IDEALIZED WORLD
YOU WILL NEVER ACHIEVE!
YOU WILL NEVER ACHIEVE!
