The song is basically addressing the problem of dopamine addiction related to the overuse of social media and internet in general. The silicone obsession here is something that affects our perception of reality, because getting any positive reaction for our internet activities (weather it’s true or false) stimulates the brain to release dopamine – the stimulating hormone – and creates a feeling that whatever we do is right. Maynard’s advice here is to disconnect from it and reconnect to the real world to fix our perception.
