Getting sick of scrolling down, down, down, down...

ARCHIVE #01: ANGER

"Who you are and what you have is not, and never will be, enough."

This concept is pushed onto us from the first moments we can remember. We are plunged into a world that defines "success" with such strict boundaries, that we are given no room to be happy with what we have. We're told to improve ourselves, and in pursuit of a happiness that is always just out of reach, we never stop to be happy with what we have. Every waking moment becomes consumed with these messages. Consume, create, consume, create, consume, create, contribute. I want to do more. I want to escape this vicious Cycle.

Lyrics:
Wake up, first thing
Always tryna get ahead
No more dreaming
Fragments of it in my head

Addiction is compulsory
Agreeing just to disagree
Pull ourselves apart into debris

‘Cause algorithms haunt me, air your dirty laundry
Hang it all on me
Getting sick of scrolling down, down, down, down
Messed up, give me your confession
Never learn our lessons
Getting sick of scrolling down, down, down, down

Start the countdown
Feeding the anxiety
Blacked out, burnt up
We can’t survive this industry

Just say what’s on your mind
Just shut up you’ll be fine
Just keep letting the cycle run you
Over and over and over again

Taunt me, air your dirty laundry
Hang it all on me
Getting sick of scrolling down, down, down, down
Messed up, give me your confession
Never learn our lessons
Getting sick of scrolling down, down, down, down

Within this black spiral, everyone acts entitled
You’re just one more rival, don’t ever meet your idols
Decline to low vitals, don’t care about survival
Just wanna go viral, we feed this vicious cycle

(Take your own time) but it’s always a race
Nobody will care if you come in second place
(Embrace your identity, don’t be afraid)
But only show the artificial life you create

Fight to stay relevant
Disregard our negligence
It’s evident, it’s prevalent
We’ve halted our development
Doomed to repeat this cycle

‘Cause algorithms haunt me, air your dirty laundry
Hang it all on me
Getting sick of scrolling down, down, down, down
Exhausted, think I finally lost it
Drew the line and crossed it
Getting sick of scrolling down, down, down, down

We’re gonna keep falling
Down, down, down, down
The wheel will go on spinning
‘Round ‘round ‘round ‘round
Never escape scrolling
Down, down, down, down
The cycle keeps going
‘Round ‘round ‘round ‘round

Cycle - Derivakat & Netrum

Hello everyone 

I’m Black_Smoke95

If your lucky enough to know me already, I started first in YouTube but I don’t have many song so I decided to switch here since I felt more free make songs 

For the one who don’t know me, I make songs to manifest my thoughts, don’t be surprised if when I will make a album about what’s in my head

Enjoy :)
