Överman - Alone Together (feat. Danny Belda) Lyrics

Incessant void when I wake up
Notifications barrage
Cold, adrift, and alone
Intangible friends and no place to call my home
We're interconnected...
Yet hearts and humans are further strangers
Traditions, values become endangered
Digital appraisal of self-worth
Society with textiety, and a scarcity of harmony
Slow deterioration of a vivid life
We're replacing and displacing all our love with "likes"
Our connection is now frivolous
And I'm fed your news by algorithms
As if that could ever be enough
As if modern life, could ever make us whole - no!

Alone. Alone, now
But together on the streets of hopelessness
Alone. Alone, now
We are drowning in this high-tide, high-tech sea
Swapping amity for agony
Redefining our humanity
Oh, ooh, oh
Oh, ooh, oh
Can't escape this reality
Would you let it be a tragedy?
No, ooh, oh
No, ooh, oh

Verbal conversations, we are foregoing
Tongues are atrophying, friendships decaying, and love erodes
As we keep typing, we keep texting - dehumanizing
Manual dexterity grows, sacrificing the art of the human touch
Touch screens are pressure sensitive, but these screens lack sensitivity
'Cause this freedom of expression ceding torments and aggression
Through an undeserved vocality, yields emotional brutality
Games aren't making us more violent
It's the lack of love-makes us devoid and nihilist
Technology advances, but it's not to blame
We're desolate beings, with desperate attempts, through our despair
To make people care, to escape the lives that we cannot bear

Alone. Alone, now
But together on the streets of hopelessness
Alone. Alone, now
We are drowning in this high-tide, high-tech sea
Swapping amity for agony
Redefining our humanity
Oh, ooh, oh
Oh, ooh, oh
Can't escape this reality
Would you let it be a tragedy?
No, ooh, oh
No, ooh, oh

We are just humans in need of affection
But it's now displaced by a need of attention
But really we're just looking for a connection
To love and feel loved
But I promise no avatar, status, or tweet
Could ever make you feel loved or complete
Our language, alone, becomes broken
<3 Has replaced vital organ

We're alone in the beginning
We're alone in the end
We're alone in the present
Let's be alone together

So, let's be alone, alone together

Alone. Alone, now
But together on the streets hopelessness
Alone. Alone, now
We are drowning in this high-tide, high-tech sea
Swapping amity for agony
Redefining our humanity
Oh, ooh, oh
Oh, ooh, oh
Can't escape this reality
I won't let this be a tragedy!
