From the recording Filtered life
"I wrote this song for everyone who sometimes feels lost in the noise of the timeline. We live two lives at the same time: the perfect images online and the real truth offline. With this song, I want to say: put your phone away, take a breath, and know that you are enough, exactly as you are, without editing."
Lyrics
Scrolling in the glow at 2 a.m. light,
Every perfect face telling you you’re not right.
Counting all the hearts like they measure your worth,
Forgetting who you were before you hit “search.”
You compare your life to a highlight show,
Every “perfect day” that you’ll never know.
But behind every post, there’s a hidden side,
A thousand little truths that they choose to hide.
You chase a number, lose your name,
Every click just feeds the game.
It’s a filtered life, it’s a painted truth,
Stealing all the color from your youth.
Every like cuts deeper than it seems,
Turning real life into broken dreams.
Don’t let the screen decide your mind,
You’re more than what they leave behind.
In a world that edits every view,
Don’t lose the real you.
Comments hit harder than a punch can land,
Words like fire that they don’t understand.
You smile in pics but you cry offline,
Living two lives at the same time.
They don’t show the tears or the lonely nights,
Just the angles, filters, neon lights.
And every second that you stay inside,
Is another piece of you they try to rewrite.
You fade away in the display,
Trying to be what they portray.
It’s a filtered life, it’s a painted truth,
Stealing all the color from your youth.
Every like cuts deeper than it seems,
Turning real life into broken dreams.
Don’t let the screen decide your mind,
You’re more than what they leave behind.
In a world that edits every view,
Don’t lose the real you.
Log out, breathe in, feel your heart,
You were enough from the start.
No filter shows what you can be,
There’s more to life than what they see.
Close your eyes, don’t chase the noise,
You’re not their trends, you’re not their choice.
It’s a filtered life, but you can choose,
You don’t have to play their rules.
Every scar and every line,
Makes a truth they can’t design.
Don’t let the screen rewrite your soul,
You were always in control.
In a world that edits every view,
Stay real, stay you.
Put the phone down, hear your name,
You’re not a number in their game
