(Verse 1) My thumb is cramping, a repetitive strain My brain’s a blur, a digital pain Another face, another filter, another lie I’m a swiping zombie, my soul’s gone dry Stuck in this loop, a never-ending scroll Losing my mind for a partner's soul The notification buzz is my Pavlovian bell I'm a lab rat in this digital hell (Pre-Chorus) And the inbox is a graveyard of "hey, how are you?" My conversation skills feel rusty and new Every single match is a gamble, a bet Just a digital promise I'll quickly forget (Chorus) I’m stuck in this algorithm, a feedback loop from hell My romantic prospects are all a hard sell I'd rather face a dragon than another awkward dinner This digital dating thing feels like a race without a winner Give me prenups, give me shared debt, give me a mortgage and a house Anything to escape this virtual dating mouse and cat It's a digital maze of lonely hearts and empty prose Where everyone's a brand, and nobody really knows (Verse 2) He said his passion's crypto, his job's "brand synergy" He wore a fleece vest and talked exclusively about his energy He showed me his portfolio, a graph that went up and down Then called his side hustle a dating profile clown The date's a performance, a staged play Where we both pretend we have something real to say I just want someone who doesn't talk about their brand Or try to sell me a future they've perfectly planned (Bridge) Maybe I’m the problem, maybe I'm too cynical But then I remember that fleece vest guy And all my romantic hopes just start to die I don’t want a brand, I want someone who’s real And this whole system is making me feel like I am a bot (Chorus) I’m stuck in this algorithm, a feedback loop from hell My romantic prospects are all a hard sell I'd rather face a dragon than another awkward dinner This digital dating thing feels like a race without a winner Give me prenups, give me shared debt, give me a mortgage and a house Anything to escape this virtual dating mouse and cat It's a digital maze of lonely hearts and empty prose Where everyone's a brand, and nobody really knows (Outro) Yeah, nobody knows… Swipe left...
