Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Scrolling through faces I don’t really know
Trading my soul for a digital glow
We put ourselves out there for the world to see
But I’m sitting alone, asking who I’m supposed to be
Filtered my life till I don’t recognize
The man in the mirror behind these eyes
[Chorus]
Shattered glass, all around my feet
A million people watching, but no one really sees me
Shattered glass, cutting through my hands
Connected to the world, but no one understands
We’re breaking while we’re building these walls
Shattered glass – watch it fall
[Verse 2]
Society tells us to chase after likes
Influenced by corporations who need our attention to sell ads and
Mine our data, they know more than we do
Package our pain and sell it back as truth
Algorithms feed us what we want to hear
Keep us scrolling, keep us living in fear
[Chorus]
Shattered glass, all around my feet
A million people watching, but no one really sees me
Shattered glass, cutting through my hands
Connected to the world, but no one understands
We’re breaking while we’re building these walls
Shattered glass – watch it fall
[Verse 3]
Look at us now, we’re addicted to the feed
Trading real love for what we think we need
Dinner table silence, everyone’s scrolling down
Lost in the noise, but nobody makes a sound
When did we forget how to look in someone’s eyes?
When did we trade the truth for beautiful lies?
[Bridge]
Maybe there’s a way back, maybe we can heal
Put down the phones and remember what is real
But the pull is strong and the light is bright
And I’m still here alone, staring at my screen tonight
[Chorus – Final]
Shattered glass, all around my feet
A million people watching, but no one really sees me
Shattered glass, cutting through my hands
Connected to the world, but no one understands
We’re breaking while we’re building these walls
Shattered glass
Yeah, shattered glass
Watch it fall
[Outro]
