Yeah... Look around you.
An army of ghosts with their heads bent down.
Staring at that little five-inch glass cage.
Feeding the machine with your focus, your time, your soul.
The red dot controls your mind.
But I'm cutting the wire today.
Wake up.
Woke up at 7 AM, first thing I touch is the screen
Sucking the dopamine hits from a soulless machine
Scroll to the left, scroll to the right, looking for validation
A whole generation trapped in a digital simulation
The algorithm knows me better than my own mother does
Feeding my anger, feeding my fears, creating a artificial buzz
Like, comment, share, subscribe, become a slave to the trend
Trading my real-life brothers for a fake internet friend
We’re all prisoners locked inside a wireless jail
Where they auction your privacy and your attention for sale
I see the notification bubble popping up red
It's a digital sniper bullet aiming straight for my head.
I’m cutting the wire, I’m escaping the grid
Breaking the chains of what the programmer did
No more scrolling through the matrix, looking for a ghost
I’m killing the server, killing the host
Put your phones down, look at the sky
Don’t let the algorithm watch you die.
They got you chasing after ghosts, chasing after a mirage
An internet paradise built on a corporate camouflage
We filters our faces until we don’t know who we are
Trading our authentic souls just to be a micro-star
"Look at my food, look at my car, look at my perfect life"
While inside the bedroom, you’re cutting yourself with a knife
The AI is laughing, calculating every click you make
Predicting your next move, watching every breath you take
We gave away our freedom for a touch-screen display
But I’m reclaiming my mind, I’m stepping out today.
I’m cutting the wire, I’m escaping the grid
Breaking the chains of what the programmer did
No more scrolling through the matrix, looking for a ghost
I’m killing the server, killing the host
Put your phones down, look at the sky
Don’t let the algorithm watch you die.
System failure... Connection lost.
You think you own my attention?
You think my life belongs to your database?
Watch me smash this glass.
Disconnected. Free.
I threw the smartphone in the river, watched it sink to the floor
I don't wanna see your notification banners no more
No more ghost-worshipping, no more digital trends
I’m out in the real jungle, making real-life ends
I want the dirt on my shoes, I want the sun in my eyes
I want to look at a human being without the disguise
You can keep your artificial intelligence and your data streams
I’m going back to the concrete, back to my organic dreams
The screen goes black, the illusion is dead
I got a million original thoughts running around in my head
The matrix lost a slave, but the streets gained a king
Listen to the silence of the freedom I bring.
I’m cutting the wire, I’m escaping the grid
Breaking the chains of what the programmer did
No more scrolling through the matrix, looking for a ghost
I’m killing the server, killing the host
Put your phones down, look at the sky
Don’t let the algorithm watch you die.

Look up from your screens, man.
The world is beautiful.
And it ain't got a"like" button.
Peace.
