“Surveillance” discusses the often negative and false nature that social media has on people, reducing them to the posts and media they share.
[Verse 1]
Surveillance, we’ve seen it all again
Frame by
For real man, look at your 75
You were starring
[Pre-Chorus]

Adding up
[Chorus 1]

We see you when you’re on again
Frame by frame

The RIP strain
Mine the will recall and filter
Some great mind game
There’s still time to change my way
These eyes see it frame by frame
[Outro]
We are living something frame by frame
We are leaving something frame by frame
We are living something frame by frame
We are leaving something frame by frame
We are leading something frame by frame
Making little adjustments frame by frame
We are living something frame by frame
We are leaving something frame by frame
