Nolan Lentz - Blue Tick Trauma Lyrics

[Intro]
Left me on read again, yeah, that's your game
Watching that blue tick drive me insane
Digital warfare, we're all the same
Power trip pixels, who's gonna break?

[Verse 1]
Three dots dancing like a puppet on strings
Watching you typing but the message never rings
Five hours later, still no reply
But your Instagram story says you're living life high
Lena, I see you posting selfies with your crew
While my message sits there gathering digital dust, it's true
Calculated silence, psychological chess
You're a master player, I'll give you that, yes

[Chorus]
Read receipts like body counts
Double-tapping hearts while the tension mounts
Screen-lit faces in the dark
Playing games till we fall apart
Left on read, left for dead
These blue ticks f*cking with my head

[Verse 2]
Remember when we used to talk face to face?
Now we're just avatars in this digital space
You leave me hanging like a glitch in the code
While you're out there living life in episode mode
Stockholm nights, but you're cold as ice
Leaving me on read once, leaving me on read twice
This ain't about love, it's about control
Screen-time warfare taking its toll

[Bridge]
Notifications like landmines
Waiting for your reply, doing time
Every minute feels like forever
In this digital hell, we're not getting better

[Outro]
Left me on read again, that's your choice
While I'm here writing bars to find my voice
Digital games, we're all insane
But at least this track's gonna know my pain
