OJR - The Heavy Zoom Lyrics

I can't relate to the modern world
All the Kool-Aid and the plastic pearls
An iPad is not a parent, the price is apparent
Devices are dividing lines
I spend my time trying to spread the word
In 13 years it could be unfurled
With AGI on the horizon, the Midnight Sun rising
We'll be hiding from the cold machines

It's the heavy zoom
That leaves no room to see the price we pay
Disconnect, loneliness
Metamodern way
It's all a waste

I can't relate to the central lie
That love can be replaced by a thousand Likes
The human touch is precious, you'll feel it when you're desperate
On your deathbed and no one arrives
Validated late-stage narcissists
The nihilistic death of a life well-spent
All this algorithmic worship
Will end in our inertia
Distracted by short-term desires

It's the heavy zoom
That leaves no room to see the price we pay
Disconnect and loneliness
That's the modern way
Don't you miss the summer skies? Butterflies?
When all we leave is waste
Life inside the heavy zoom
Leaves no room for change
It's such a waste
It's such a waste
