Connection Lyrics

How in the world can I explain
When the words leap off from the page?
Is there a way to celebrate
When I'm scared straight from the past parades?

The kids are throwing all their charms at
The latest token victory march
With no new trails to blaze

This is not connection
It's only an impression

How in the world can I compete
When they're plugged into the new machines?
Laser focused on the screens
That will deliver them their self-esteem

When their ears all ring with monotone
With their bodies snug in memory foam
I can't help it, I wanna hear them scream

This is not connection
It's only an impression

Imprint on it
Imprint on it

This is not connection
This is not affection
It's only an impression
(This is not connection)

Correct Lyrics: How in the world can I explain When the words leap off from the page? Is there a way to celebrate When I'm scared straight from the past parades?

The kids are throwing all their charms at The latest token victory march With no new trails to blaze

This is not connection It's only an impression

How in the world can I compete When they're plugged into the new machines? Laser focused on the screens That will deliver them their self-esteem

When their ears all ring with monotone with their bodies snug in memory foam I can't help it, I wanna hear them scream

This is not connection It's only an impression

Imprint on it Imprint on it

This is not a connection This is not affection It's only an impression (This is not connection)

Song Fact

@SilverFayte This is much more accurate than the one posted. There are only a couple things I'm unsure of. It sounds to me like he's saying:

Laser focused on the screens I will deliver them their self-esteem

And Imprint on it doesn't sound right to me. I can't really tell what he's saying, but it almost sounds like: Burn on it or Foot on it? Whatever it is, he says it 4 times at the beginning of the song as well

And there's no "A" at the end with This is not connection

Feel this song is about a child who gets close to a group of friends and eventually becomes apart of them almost like a family
