Digital Witness Lyrics

Get back, to your seat
Get back, gnashing teeth
Ooh, I want all of your mind

People turn the TV on, it looks just like a window, yeah
People turn the TV on, it looks just like a window, yeah

Digital witnesses, what's the point of even sleeping?
If I can't show it, if you can't see me
What's the point of doing anything?
This is no time for confessing

I want all of your mind

People turn the TV on, it looks just like a window, yeah
People turn the TV on, it looks just like a window, yeah

Digital witnesses, what's the point of even sleeping?
If I can't show it, if you can't see me
Watch me jump right off the London Bridge
This is no time for confessing

People turn the TV on and throw it out the window, yeah
Get back to your stare
I care, but I don't care
Oh oh, I, I want all of your mind
Give me all of your mind
I want all of your mind
Give me all of it

Digital witnesses, what's the point of even sleeping?
If I can't show it, if you can't see me
What's the point of doing anything?
What's the point of even sleeping?
So I stopped sleeping, yeah I stopped sleeping
Won't somebody sell me back to me?

What is the Meaning of Digital Witness?

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
