This is a song about the “reply guy (very online guy)” culture. These “reply guys” reply to almost everything people post on social media, in a tired pattern of pranks, corrections, unsolicited advice and more. These overconfident people pester the internet until they get a response to gain attentio...
[Verse 1]
He's a very online guy
He likes to hit reply
He's incredibly vigilant
Hair with the feathered wings
He likes to pull the strings
It's incredibly visible
[Pre-Chorus]
We all know everything that he says and does
Leave your location on and just follow the buzz

He's only one follow, one filter away
[Verse 2]
He's a very online guy
He types his cool replies
He's incredibly animal
Front of the wеdding trains
He laps up all domains
And he loves a patio
[Chorus]
Hе's only one flicker away
He's only one photo, one filter away
[Bridge]

But when you're ghosting me, does anyone notice?
[Chorus]
He's only one filter away
He's only one photo, one flicker away
He's only one photo, one follow, one filter away
[Outro]
He's a very online guy
