When we're talking and nobody's there
We're safely in the dark alone
A conversation that nobody hears
Is transferring from home to home
By the time we figure it out, it's already set in stone
And if everything I feel down inside my chest
Completely fills me up like a
Real, real, real...
Connection,
It's not that typical
We're connecting,
But it's something digital
I'll share a story I want you to know
It's better than the real thing
I took my time in touching myself
To enhance my personality
There's no need to dig any further
I've laid it all out, it's clear
And everything you feel down inside your chest
Completely fills you up like a
Real, real, real...
Connection, It's not that typical
The connecting, but it's something digital.
I just need this so much
I thought I was in love
With you, and me
I thought this was my destiny
And then the trail went cold
I looked everywhere
But were you ever really there
I thought that ever real, real, real
Connection,
It's not that typical
The connecting, but it's all in digital
We're safely in the dark alone
A conversation that nobody hears
Is transferring from home to home
By the time we figure it out, it's already set in stone
And if everything I feel down inside my chest
Completely fills me up like a
Real, real, real...
It's not that typical
We're connecting,
But it's something digital
It's better than the real thing
I took my time in touching myself
To enhance my personality
There's no need to dig any further
I've laid it all out, it's clear
And everything you feel down inside your chest
Completely fills you up like a
Real, real, real...
The connecting, but it's something digital.
I thought I was in love

And then the trail went cold
I looked everywhere
But were you ever really there
I thought that ever real, real, real
It's not that typical
The connecting, but it's all in digital

This song just blew me away. The lyricism is so pure. No weak psuedo-artsy phrasing here.
It's straightforwardly about an online relationship; and the speaker knows an online relationship is strange, abstract, and just plain weird compared to a traditional one...but he's not complaining, because hey, at least it's some sort of relationship. The way the song portrays the ups and downs, the victories and the devastations...I think it makes the song just as good as Dangerous.
Someone else wrote the lyric "I took my time retouching myself to enhance my personality". Originally, I thought he said "I took some time from touching myself". I think retouching makes sense.
