Illusions all around us, nothing they post is real
indie 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.
Social media, 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
Social media, 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, social media, 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.
