Emily Desmond - Virtual Reality (#outofcontrol)
Well I won't lie it's irritating, truly devastating
To witness this society's fatal crash
All interaction is devoured, every minute, every hour
Spent staring at a pricey piece of glass
I know your plans, what you ate, what you wore, I know your face
And every thought sent to that bluebird of destruction
But if in person I ran into you, I wouldn't have the slightest clue
Solitude's a victim of corruption
Whoa oh oh oh
Would someone save our souls?
Whoa oh oh oh
This is hashtag out of control
Relationships obsessive
Texting back and forth excessively
You don't even get a chance to try and miss them
Cause trust is hypothetical
We're easily susceptible
We can edit what we say before we send
But where's the laughing and the dancing
Blasting love songs in the kitchen
Instead of grinding on some stranger in a club?
Back when women were respectable
Turn up was a vegetable
And people weren't afraid to fall in love
Too skinny, too fat, nice rolls, can't wear that
Big thighs, no ass, flat chest
Images created, tabloids so damn fixated
On their faultless, airbrush-finished marionettes
Whoa oh oh oh
Would someone save our souls?
Whoa oh oh oh
This is hashtag out of control
And I know I sound hypocritical right now
But I'll fully admit that I am brainwashed as well
Cause I wake up and check my feed
I let likes affect my self esteem
And I find myself wishing the mirror were lying to me
But I can't stand the pictures I've been seeing
Status updates I've been reading
The moronic rants and cyber-bullying
Abusing people just for fun
It's easy to degrade someone
When protected by some miles and a screen
But this obstruction of equality, racial slurs, and animosity
If I see homophobe again I might explode
There's nothing that's unjust about
Marrying who you love, by now
The pursuit of happiness should be condoned
Whoa oh oh oh
Would someone save our souls?
Whoa oh oh oh
This is hashtag out of control
