Cover art for Teardrops lyrics by Bring Me the Horizon

Vocalist Oli Sykes’s explains the song is about concepts of tech addiction & media addiction. In other words, he feels that we in the modern world – youth especially – have become too accustomed to receiving bad news as it seems to be all around us, being relayed by various channels, these days. So he credits that as being the source of his and others’ aforementioned less-than-ideal mental state, i.e. having their brains flooded & numbed by the influx of too much negative information.
