Slow Motion
Words get twisted into the world of content’s fast food
Edited images rush across screens to tell our mood
the fake sound of a sampled human voice
tell us it's time to make our choice
clickbait is just what we believe in today
the algorithm decides it, and we will have nothing to say
it doesn't matter how much truth there is anymore
the important thing is to show something more and more
feeding on truth or lies is no longer important
numbers become the only values as an intendant
and we believe that this is making us live better than before
when instead we should look at the core.
If we could open a window in slow motion
maybe we'll see what we left without passion
nothing will give us back the hours of life we have lost
to make less effort and reduce the cost
it seems strange because let's say the opposite
but clicking without understanding where we are going by that website
it will often be a void that will remain inside us
and the skipping between our fingers will be the last bus.
