What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I was born in 82
2
about the time of the Cold War flu
3
born when the world was small
4
before we connected the zoo
5
look at the way we grew
6
dropped the borders but we kept the walls
7
the things we made to pull us close push us all
8
we hear the ring but screen the calls
9
so close we could almost touch
10
but so far we don't speak on the bus
11
so close I can almost see your breath
12
but so far I can't hear your words
13
I don't go a day without a button pressed
14
the years go by in a blur
15
it's the time of plenty, inbox full
16
so why do I feel so goddamn empty?
17
but look at how connected we are
18
the whole globe at your fingertips
19
speed the pace it's an instant fix
20
Space Age but I feel boxed in
21
and it's wide open
22
and I'm dying to know
23
why I feel disconnected
24
am I dreaming demons, alienated
25
or do I just get what I expected?
26
they say it's greed that keeps people turning
27
feeds the lonely and the beasts of burden
28
East of Eden but at least we're earning
29
the ice is melting and the trees are burning
30
reporters all say it's all but lost
31
and all we can do is watch
32
so I walk with my shoulders dropped
33
watch these blocks stack up with stores
34
is this what we're working for?
35
filling that hole with goods, what's good?
36
but the chokehold ain't local no more
37
it's global and closing its doors
38
it ain't about right or wrong
39
what side you're on
40
but the things we traded
41
how many sights for many sights
42
how is your life?
43
I was born in 82 but I live in 2000 and now
44
all the things I thought I knew
45
turns out they were never around
46
and all the people I met today
47
well, they all the same feeling that emptiness
48
fill it up with Fendi till the trendiness fades
49
then throw that thing away
50
I want the one with the new features
51
until the next one out then
52
bury it a little deeper
53
add on to that man-made mountain
54
you could have it all, the campaign touting
55
the cars and the champagne fountain
56
but that pool's only deep enough to sink
57
but these fools don't even stop to think
58
they just want that bubbly
59
now they spilling on you
60
ain't that lovely?
61
what a mess since they jumped in
62
now they scream save me, save me to the public
63
but we barely know the subject
64
we're all out doing for us
65
in so far, so far in fact
66
so near so packed we don't speak on the bus
67
loss of love, loss of mind
68
loss of love, loss of mind
69
running out of time
70
loss of love, loss of mind
71
loss of love, loss of mind
72
damn near out of time
