This song is about how much we depend on our phones and capturing every little thing in our lives with the camera. I wrote this because it was something that I felt strongly about. There is only so much you can do on your phone, if you find the importance in your actual time on Earth, it will only g...
(Verse)
Holding it like it’s your son, but you just can’t seem to get out in the sun. You thought it was fun, but years pass you by and you realize you lost all that fun, there was none
We’re running away, we just can’t seem live it day by day. We’re starting to stray from something that mattered, I’m just tryna' say, there’s gotta be a way, that we can keep memories without using the flash or spending some cash, or maybe stop causing the crash only left with the ash, because we only really care if it’s gettin' the taps. yeah
So let’s make a change, everybody acting so damn deranged. Staring at their phones with the hopes to be, as perfect as the photo on the gram they see. But everything’s not real, if you take the time I promise that you’re gonna feel, a greater sense of what it means to be, something ten times bigger then what’s on the screen. So don’t take it for granted, we get one shot don’t leave empty handed, it’ll eat you alive until you feel you’re stranded, this is the time, the plane has landed
(Chorus)
Writing it down, finding my sound, stuck to the ground
Holding the weight, lost in the state, pull all the brakes
Do what I can, become a new man, get off of the gram
So long and goodbye, I told you I’d fly, I just can’t deny
Writing it down, finding my sound, stuck to the ground
Holding the weight, lost in the state, pull all the brakes
Do what I can, become a new man, get off of the gram
So long and goodbye, I told you I’d fly, I just can’t deny
(Verse)
Its taking up all of our time, we’re losin' our grip just to prosper and shine. Popularity and being famous, anything to get a little paycheck. Losing all sight of reality, seein' the world through our screens, living so care free, we stop following our dreams, but we make sure to get the likes by any means. What was it like before all of this, think of the good times and reminisce, it’s like it’s your first kiss and not your first pic but we can’t seem to find the bliss, in our lives, the times we miss
Because we live in an age
Where social media takes over our days
We don’t even know how to play
Jumping through hoops just to get through the maze
We’re stuck in this phase
So lets raise our children, to chase their dreams and start following the vision
Every little moments gonna make a difference. Lets stop being ignorant. Lets put the phone down and try to be different. Change the mold, create a brand new wave
So we can stop putting people in a god damn grave
(Chorus)
Writing it down, finding my sound, stuck to the ground
Holding the weight, lost in the state, pull all the brakes
Do what I can, become a new man, get off of the gram
So long and goodbye, I told you I’d fly, I just can’t deny
Writing it down, finding my sound, stuck to the ground
Holding the weight, lost in the state, pull all the brakes
Do what I can, become a new man, get off of the gram
So long and goodbye, I told you I’d fly, I just can’t deny
