The song is about struggling to find motivation and procrastinating. It makes me think of people addicted to social media turning to technology to get a quick dopamine hit and neglecting other aspects of their life.\n\n"You haven\'t done what you were supposed to\nAnd did what you didn\'t want to"\n\n"The amount of self-deception\nSlowly starts killing you"\n\nLying to themself about how they\'ll get everything done later, but never getting round to it\n\n"It demands an effort\nAnd the pills to get rid of this pain\nNot a chance\nI\'m sorry, Birdy\nI\'m your favourite voice inside your head"\n\nThey have poor mental health but don\'t have the motivation to seek help.\n\n"Your filter bubble on the touchscreen display\nHas recommended to you what you should want"\n\n"While you\'ve been watching too much daytime TV\nDreaming on demand\nYour \'from tomorrow\' just became \'yesterday\'\nMade you crawl again under the bed covers"\n\nThey make no decisions for themself, just watching whatever the algorithm recommends and putting real life off for another day.\n\n"Hey you\nRise and shine!\nYou must learn to stand your ground\nHow long can you hold your breath under the pillow?"\n\nThey stay in bed as long as they can to put off having to get up and face the world. |
