lyrics
Validation machine
I just want to be seen
So feed me
Ooh ooh
So feed me
Ooh ooh
My validation machine
I just want to be seen
So feed me
Ooh ooh
So feed me
Ooh ooh
My face
Space book
Scroll to me
I made you look
My obsession
Digital expression
Always looking pristine
My validation machine
Like me love me
Care me sad me
Me me me me me me
Memes
Aren't I funny
Can you haha me now
Before I spiral down
Right into the ground
My obsession
Digital depression
Validation machine
I just want to be seen
So feed me
Ooh ooh
So feed me
Ooh ooh
My validation machine
I just want to be seen
So feed me
Ooh ooh
So feed me
Ooh ooh
Twit gram
Insta spam
Follow me
I know you can
My obsession
Follower oppression
Setting up the next scene
My validation machine
Like it tap it
Swipe up at it
Tap tap tap tap tap tap
Trap
Aren’t I clever
Then acknowledge me now
Before I overanalyze
Society’s demise
Our obsession
Digital depression
Validation machine
I just want to be seen
So feed me
Ooh ooh
So feed me
Ooh ooh
My validation machine
I just want to be seen
So feed me
Ooh ooh
So feed me
Ooh ooh
Put all my business online
Maybe then I'll feel fine
Flooding you with all my problems
Even though that they’re mine
Don’t agree with the hive?
Then how else will you survive
Better believe that it has you
Just exactly where it wants you!
If ya correcting you’re rejecting
Oh how will you keep connecting?
Bandaiding the infection
Masquerading the protection
Temporary liberation
Dopamine incarceration
If you can see me (it’s not the real me) I succeed
But can you give me (you can’t give me) what I've needed
Validation machine
I just want to be seen
So feed me
Ooh ooh
So feed me
Ooh ooh
My validation machine
I just want to be seen
So feed me
Ooh ooh
So feed me
Ooh ooh
