Lyrics

[Intro]
Swipe, swipe, swipe…
Another life on display
Perfect angles, perfect lies
Who’s real behind the screen today?

[Verse 1 – Charles Dark]
Million followers, zero truth
Selling dreams to stolen youth
Filter heavy, substance light
Everything’s curated for the perfect sight
Selling products they don’t use
Pushing narratives, spreading views
Kids are watching, learning fast
How to build a life that’ll never last

[Pre-Chorus]
They’re chasing validation
Lost in fabrication
Trading soul for sensation

[Chorus]
No wonder they are in fact
Nothing but light and contracts
No wonder they attract
Souls who can’t see through the cracks
No wonder they are in fact
Feeding young minds empty acts
No wonder they react
When the mirror finally cracks

[Verse 2 – Charles Dark]
Fourteen-year-olds starving thin
‘Cause some stranger taught them beauty’s skin
Comparison is killing slow
But the algorithm makes it grow
Mental health on decline
While they’re selling you the perfect life online
Dangerous game we’re playing here
Built on likes and manufactured fear

[Pre-Chorus]
They’re chasing validation
Lost in fabrication
Trading soul for sensation

[Chorus]
No wonder they are in fact
Nothing but light and contracts
No wonder they attract
Souls who can’t see through the cracks
No wonder they are in fact
Feeding young minds empty acts
No wonder they react
When the mirror finally cracks

[Verse 3 – Charles Dark]
We gave them power, gave them fame
Never questioned who’s playing the game
Now the damage is crystal clear
Kids are drowning in manufactured fear
They’re selling shortcuts to success
Trading authenticity for emptiness
Time to wake up from the scroll
Before it takes another soul

[Pre-Chorus]
They’re chasing validation
Lost in fabrication
Trading soul for sensation

[Final Chorus]
No wonder they are in fact
Just pixels dressed in contracts
No wonder they attract
Hearts too young to see the cracks
No wonder they are in fact
Selling poison, call it acts
Time to pull the young ones back
Before there’s nothing left intact

[Outro]
Swipe, swipe, swipe…
But who’s real on the other side?
Swipe, swipe, swipe…
Time to open up our eyes
