Digital Revolution

being alone and not alone,
and never alone again
that is the promise
of the digital revolution

and I wanna kiss it
but it’s just a screen
and I don’t want that
they manipulate my brain anymore
and they say it’s sweet

being caressed
became a memory
and I feel the violence
of this new technology
pretending that we are connected
but we are not
because I can’t smell you
they can’t fool me

No matter with how much money
they chase people around the globe
Just for fun just for fun
senselessness is flattering (around the globe)

how much longer do I have to be alive
to leave a trace on this planet
and still it feels good
it still feels okay
and I would miss it
but in a way I never felt very connected
I don’t want to go
(I still want to stay)
I want to plant myself
like a tree into the ground

being alone and not alone,
and never alone again
that is the promise
of the digital revolution

and I wanna kiss it
but it’s just a screen
and I don’t want
that they manipulate my brain anymore
and they say it’s sweet


love makes a whole lot of one person
and I always remember what it feels like
because I know the difference
so boring not to be loved
boring more than anything
as boring as school
not understanding anything
not bothering to understand anything
why they don’t understand me
and I’m still praying
without religion now
