The 1975 - A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships lyrics

Welcome, welcome boys and girls into
A more distracted world –
Comprised of all the things you
Knew but older now
(that's me and you) –the things inside post
– 'don't you mind' reflect upon a
Recent time – where you and I were
Both online and part of a
Collective mind And still are we online you
See but with much more consultancy
– In groups we search ironically to
Find our self identity, embracing femininity
Skeptics of affinity – maybe
Neither actually –
Deleting all civility – and fearing most
Proximity – but that has
Happened 'obviously' if
You look retrospectively – but that's
My point – that hindsight there –
It's captured our collective stare
A constant daze at bygone days
Seduced by programmed time
Delays – inside our phones our
Need has grown for inside
There we're not alone – you
See it's not all doom and gloom
Just sanctify outside your room
– it's easy when you're made aware
A more authentic captured stare –
And something else to celebrate the
Fact that we can stay
Up late and share and care and make aware
Some stranger who is over there
– and change and mould and right some wrongs
Whilst streaming all our
Favourite songs – the left and
Right grow more apart
