Digital Witness
by
St. Vincent
In an age where technology reigns supreme, this song delves into the paradox of our digital existence. It mirrors the obsession with virtual validation, questioning the purpose of actions if they aren't visible or acknowledged online. The repeated reference to a TV resembling a window suggests that screens have become our primary perspective to the outside world. Furthermore, it hints at how we've traded genuine experiences for their digital representations. St. Vincent also touches upon the loss of self in this digital realm, longing for someone to sell her back to herself - a poignant depiction of identity crisis fostered by online personas. This song is a critique on our digitally-dominated lifestyles and serves as a wake-up call to reclaim authentic living. #DigitalAge #VirtualValidation #IdentityCrisis #AuthenticLiving
