about

‘Profiles’ tackles some of the more disruptive and disturbing issues people are facing as a result of social media. To the person with hundreds of social media friends but who is truly inherently lonely. To the person so far removed and disconnected from the real world absorbed in the superficial. To the person presenting a false image to the online world, seeking validation and assurance. To the person who shares a tragedy for all the wrong reasons. This song is for you.

lyrics

Laid out bare
For the world the see
A shopped image
Of you, for me, <She’s so far removed>

She’s so far removed from reality
She’s so far removed from reality
Online tragedy
Online tragedy

She’s so far removed, <she’s so, she’s so>
From the rest of us, <she’s so, she’s so>
She filters out the pain, <she’s so, she’s so>
She’d do it all again

Repeat the same
You seem to think it’s new
You just keep doing it and don’t know you’re doing it
Rewrite the truth <She’s so far removed>

She’s so far removed from reality
She’s so far removed from reality
Online tragedy
It’s an online tragedy

She’s so far removed, <she’s so, she’s so>
From the rest of us, <she’s so, she’s so>
She filters out the pain, <she’s so, she’s so>
She’d do it all again

She just... needs to... calm down
x4

I see you out in the car
Slowly losing your mind
I’ll be out at the bar
I’ll be losing my mind

I see you out in the car
Slowly losing your mind
I’ll be out at the bar
I’ll be losing my mind

She just... needs to... calm down
The same things come… back around
She just needs to calm down
She just, needs to, calm down

I see you out in the car
Slowly losing your mind
I’ll be out at the bar
I’ll be losing my mind
