Q&A
Under the Pillow Lyrics
Hey you
Somewhere in the mirror
What happened today with your face?
Your eyes
Sank in their hollows
And the ocean of your disgrace
It's no shame
You haven't done what you were supposed to
And did what you didn't want to
1-UP!
The amount of self-deception
Slowly starts killing you
Inside
You're faced with a new decision
Between the dawn and the day
Melting
Between the life you got used to
And something you don't understand
I know
It demands an effort
And the pills to get rid of this pain
Not a chance
I'm sorry, Birdy
I'm your favourite voice inside your head
Hey you
Rise and shine!
You must learn to stand your ground
How long can you hold your breath under the pillow?
You kept yourself to yourself day by day
Growing delusions in the blue flowerpots
Your filter bubble on the touchscreen display
Has recommended to you what you should want
While you've been watching too much daytime TV
Dreaming on demand
Your "from tomorrow" just became "yesterday"
Made you crawl again under the bed covers
Hey you
Rise and shine!
You must learn to stand your ground
How long can you hold your breath under the pillow?
How long can you hold your breath under the pillow?
How long can you hold your breath under the pillow?
Somewhere in the mirror
What happened today with your face?
Your eyes
Sank in their hollows
And the ocean of your disgrace
It's no shame
You haven't done what you were supposed to
And did what you didn't want to
1-UP!
The amount of self-deception
Slowly starts killing you
You're faced with a new decision
Between the dawn and the day
Melting
Between the life you got used to
And something you don't understand
I know
It demands an effort
And the pills to get rid of this pain
Not a chance
I'm sorry, Birdy
I'm your favourite voice inside your head
Rise and shine!
You must learn to stand your ground
How long can you hold your breath under the pillow?
Growing delusions in the blue flowerpots
Your filter bubble on the touchscreen display
Has recommended to you what you should want
Dreaming on demand
Your "from tomorrow" just became "yesterday"
Made you crawl again under the bed covers
Rise and shine!
You must learn to stand your ground
How long can you hold your breath under the pillow?
How long can you hold your breath under the pillow?
How long can you hold your breath under the pillow?

I guess it's about struggle in liquid modern world.
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.
