Illusions all around us, nothing they post is real
COUNTRY pop, melancholic, mid-tempo, acoustic guitar, soft synth pads, breathy vocals
00:00 / 00:00
Lyrics
[Intro – gentle acoustic guitar strum, faint synth hum]
Screens glow fills my empty room
Silence hums beneath the zoom
[Verse 1 – steady guitar rhythm, subtle shaker]
Filtered grins paint a perfect day
Stories stitched from borrowed praise
Every like’s a hollow prize
Hiding all the unspoken cries
[Pre-Chorus – building synth layers, soft drum beat]
I’ve been drowning in the noise
Chasing something that’s not there to find
Tired of the polished lies
Ready to leave it all behind
[Chorus – full band, warm vocal harmonies]
Illusions all around us, nothing they post is real
Every scroll reveals a new lie I can’t feel
I’m over the fakeness. [PAUSE]
Social media. [SLIGHT PAUSE, MAKING A STATEMENT] I'm saying goodbye!
I'm tearing down the walls that made me want to hide
[Verse 2 – acoustic guitar, soft bassline]
Curated trips and flawless meals
Smiles that mask the broken seals
Comments cut like hidden knives
Beneath the perfect online lives
[Pre-Chorus 2 – slightly more intense, layered vocals]
I’ve been wearing someone else’s skin
Trying to fit a world that’s paper-thin
Tired of the endless show
Ready to let the whole thing go
[Chorus 2 – elevated instrumentation, soaring harmonies]
Illusions all around us, nothing they post is real
Every scroll reveals a new lie I can’t feel
I’m over the fakeness [PAUSE]
Social media, [SLIGHT PAUSE, MAKE A STATEMENT] I'm saying goodbye.
Stepping into the light where I can finally breathe
[Bridge – stripped back acoustic guitar, intimate vocals]
No more likes to measure worth
No more masks to hide the hurt
I’m trading screens for open skies
Leaving all the lies behind
[Chorus 3 – full band climax, powerful vocals]
Illusions fade around me, I can finally see
The truth was always waiting, just beyond the screen
I’m done with the fakeness, [PAUSE]
social media, [SLIGHT PAUSE, MAKE A STATEMENT] I'm saying goodbye
Found my way back to the life that’s mine to live
[Outro – fading acoustic guitar, soft synth fade]
Screen glow fades to morning light
I’m finally free to breathe tonight
Social media, Gooood byeee.
