About This Track
An introspective indie pop song about recommendation algorithms misreading emotional signals. While cheerful videos flood the feed, the narrator confronts the quiet disconnect between digital optimism and their inner reality.
Suggested for you again / Opened the feed before sunrise / Colorful clips and glittering smiles / Somebody dancing in a kitchen / Somebody posting vacation miles / The system thinks I’m in the mood / For bright balloons and party tunes / But I’m just staring at the ceiling / Counting seconds in my room / Every swipe says I’m okay / Every headline says I’m great / But the numbers got it wrong / Somewhere deep inside the code / The algorithm thinks I’m happy / Serving sunshine on repeat / Little fireworks and laughter / Looping endlessly for me / But the system never noticed / All the cracks behind my screen / If it really understood me / Would it show me what I need / Loading loading / Endless reels of perfect mornings / Bright confetti afternoons / Everybody glowing softly / Living curated cartoon / Meanwhile I’m a quiet window / Watching strangers celebrate / Trying not to click another / Video about escape / Maybe I trained it accidentally / Every time I forced a grin / Pressed the heart on someone’s story / While the walls were closing in / Now it thinks I love the circus / Every sparkling highlight show / But it never reads the silence / In the moments in between / The algorithm thinks I’m happy / Serving sunshine endlessly / Golden beaches dancing faces / All the joy it thinks I need / But the code can’t read a heartbeat / Or the thoughts I never show / So it sends another rainbow / While I quietly implode / Suggested again tomorrow
