Intro
They told me log in, sell my face for likes But my reflection don't need a filter tonight
Verse 1
Six AM, blue light bleeding through my blinds Another notification, another piece of my mind I curate my moments like I'm selling my soul Screenshot the highlight reel, hide the empty scroll They measure my worth in the hearts that I collect But what's the algorithm for genuine respect? I'm posting to the void, hoping someone sees The person underneath the optimized feed
Pre-chorus
Tell me, are you watching or you really there? A thousand comments deep but nobody cares I'm tired of performing for the digital air Need something more than pixels, I swear
Chorus
I got a digital soul but I'm still breathing Screen time stealing but my heart's still beating They can't download what I'm feeling inside Analog heart in a digital life
Verse 2
Remember when connection meant looking in your eyes? Now it's double-tap validation, manufactured ties My mama calls, I let it ring, too busy scrolling deep Through strangers' perfect dinners while my own goes cold to eat They say I'm verified, but what does that even mean? A blue check next to my name don't make my spirit clean The followers don't follow when the cameras disappear And the friends list don't hold you when the breakdown is here
Pre-chorus
Tell me, are you watching or you really there? A thousand comments deep but nobody cares I'm tired of performing for the digital air Need something more than pixels, I swear
Chorus
I got a digital soul but I'm still breathing Screen time stealing but my heart's still beating They can't download what I'm feeling inside Analog heart in a digital life
Bridge
Put the phone face-down on the table Remember who I was before the cable Flesh and bone beneath the avatar The real me was never that far
Verse 3
So I'm logging off the matrix, stepping into now Touch the grass beneath my feet, remember how to bow To the sunset that don't need a caption or a frame To the laughter that exists outside the viral game I'm not anti-tech, I'm just pro-human being There's a difference between looking and actually seeing So keep your metrics, I'll keep my peace of mind The best version of me don't need to be online
Pre-chorus
Now I'm really living, not just watching life pass Found my people in the moments, not the broadcast Done performing for the algorithmic stare Found something realer than the digital air
Chorus
I got a digital soul but I'm still breathing Screen time stealing but my heart's still beating They can't download what I'm feeling inside Analog heart in a digital life
Chorus
I got a digital soul but I'm still breathing Screen time stealing but my heart's still beating They can't download what I'm feeling inside Analog heart in a digital life
Outro
Digital soul... analog heart... Where the machine ends, that's where I start Yeah, that's where I start
Inside the recording
They told me log in, sell my face for likes But my reflection don't need a filter tonight
Tell me, are you watching or you really there? A thousand comments deep but nobody cares
Digital soul... analog heart... Where the machine ends, that's where I start
