lyrics

You could be the one they talk about
(repeats)

Whether good or bad
people want attention
Everybody looking for a mention
Only so much to go around

We all out hoping crowds
will stop and listen
thickening competition
who can cover more ground

Population explodes
we don't wanna get lost in the shuffle
We all competing for your eyes it's a hustle
hit the road, selling merch out a duffle
Corporate control
It's only human not to wanna get forgotten
No more selling out only getting boughten
Strings attached rich hands won't be dropping

You could be the one they talk about
(repeats)

Please pardon us, culture of narcissists
searching for art in this
landscape of artifice
My araless avatar's part of the problem
if you wanna call it that
I can give you what you need if you follow back
that's a solid fact
I need the dopamine
followers to lead
I need all of that
Don't know what you're leading to
you can borrow maps
some will stay working we can't all relax
some of us will stay pushing till we all collapse

Population explodes
pushing all of us out to the fringes
blowing all the old doors off the hinges
open gates means more competitions
corporate control
what other method you expected could get more
everybody's bought off but what you went for
determines if you're burned or get the big score

We do it for the hearts
check it when the sun's up
get our numbers up somehow
I need the outside validation
all your adulation
but it's never enough now
I need the big enough crowds
to make thunderous sounds
I'd love to hear it all night long
I can't tell what I'm worth
life is hell on earth
tell me if I'm right or wrong

I've decided to be
alive and free
but I don't know what that means
keep getting trapped in screens
imprisoned by other people's dreams

I just wanna be seen
(repeats)

You could be the one they talk about
You could be the one they talk about

about

Araless Seattle, Washington

Araless moves in waves. When he's not producing for Filthy Fingers United, he's rapping with Black Magic Noize. When he's not leading a band, he's animating.

When he raps, it's with a gritty conviction, and when he sings, it's a soulful croon. ... more
