Modern Era is about how society generally encourages us as individuals to not think about what our true purpose is or about deeper issues like pain, suffering and faith.
The song bounces back and forth between 2 ‘voices’, the voice of an individual who is not content with their life and who is cons...
[Intro]
Welcome to the modern era
[Chorus]
Hypnotized
It'll be just fine
Just don't think twice
You can be anything you want
But don't be that guy
You'll be just fine
Just don't think twice
Everybody's still dying anyway
[Verse 1]
It's like they told me when I was being myself
I'm tryin' to live up to the hype and I was put on a shelf
And I don't want a disappointment if you couldn't tell
So I'ma go so modern it's basically hell
[Refrain]
But it's alright, don't call my phone
But it's alright, leave me alone
Is it alright? 'Cause really I don't know
Is it alright, yeah?
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me, am I the only one who's losing sleep over pain in this life?
I'm looking for something, it could be anything
[Chorus]
Lies
You'll be just fine
Just don't think twice
You can be anything you want
But don't be that guy
You'll be just fine
Just don't think twice
Everybody's still dying anyway
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah
Ooh, oh
[Verse 2]
I hear my cellphone ringing now
I sent you to dial tone
[Refrain]
But it's alright, don't call my phone
But it's alright, leave me alone
Is it alright? 'Cause really I don't know
Is it alright, yeah?
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me, am I the only one who's losing sleep over pain in this life?
I'm looking for something, it could be anything
[Chorus]
Lies
You'll be just fine
Just don't think twice
You can be anything you want
But don't be that guy
You'll be just fine
Just don't think twice
Everybody's still dying anyway, yeah
[Outro]
It's alright
It's alright
Alright
