This song is about the harmful effects of the knowledge social media brings. Godforbid sings about being afraid of all the depressing news and posts that social media feeds into his algorithm and wishes to be “cleansed” of all the negativity and tragedy.
[Verse 1]
I'm scared of the internet
I'm scared of these idiots
I'm scared of indifference
I'm scared of the middlemen overprivileged making livings off innocents
[Pre-Chorus]
Are you scared just a little bit?
This is really it
I need to be forgiven
And cleanse my algorithm
[Chorus]
If I start crying now
I may never stop
If I start crying now
I may never stop
Call the cops, haul me off
I'm exhausted by the thought
It doesn't stop
[Verse 2]
Our nervous systems weren't supposed
To stretch around the earth
And it hurts
And it hurts
Our nervous systems weren't supposed
To stretch around the earth
And it hurts
And it hurts
[Pre-Chorus]
I need to be forgiven
Please cleanse my algorithm
We need a new beginning
Lord, cleanse my algorithm
[Chorus]
If I start crying now
I may never stop
If I start crying now
I may never stop
Call the cops, haul me off
I'm exhausted by the thought
It never stops
[Bridge]
Are you scared just a little bit? (Are you scared)
This is really it
Are you scared just a little bit? (Are you scared)
This is really it (This is really it)
[Verse 3]
It was easier for me before
Believing in the meaning more
It was easier for me before
Believing in the meaning more
It was easier for me before
Believing in the meaning more
[Outro]
I need to be forgiven
And cleanse my algorithm
