From the recording LP13 EMPOWERMENT
A song about online connections. How easy it is to become what you would like to be and have an experience intimate online relationship without meeting. A reflection of our times in which so many of us live double lives - online and in reality. But which one dominates? And if we meet up in reality, are we really what we seem? This can be a scary world full of deception, grooming and unrealistic expectations in which nothing is real any more.
Lyrics
DM Me
DM if you need me
Message if you wanna see me
Don’t want you to be lonely
Call if you can’t reach me
Upload a photo or two
I won’t ghost you
Just wanna be there
For real. Not just in digital air.
[Verse 1]
I see your name flash on my screen,
Digital glow like a movie scene.
Late-night thoughts in a midnight scroll,
Every emoji’s got me losing control.
[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t have to say too much,
Just send the spark, I’ll feel the rush.
Love your avatar. Big time crush.
Are you for real? It’s all too much.
[Chorus]
DM if you need me
Text if you wanna see me
Don’t want you to be lonely
Call if you can’t reach me
And I’ll be there
Doesn’t matter how you find me,
Every word you send reminds me
Of the online magic we made.
Don’t let this moment fade.
[Verse 2]
The world’s asleep, but we’re still awake,
Telling secrets that we’d never say.
Your voice in my head, I can almost hear,
Feels like you’re already here.
[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t have to say too much,
Just send the spark, I’ll feel the rush.
Love your avatar. Big time crush.
Are you for real? It’s all too much.
[Chorus]
DM if you need me
Text if you wanna see me
Don’t want you to be lonely
Call if you can’t reach me
And I’ll be there
Doesn’t matter how you find me,
Every word you send reminds me
Of the online magic we made.
Don’t let this moment fade.
[Bridge]
It’s just pixels on a glass screen,
But it feels more real than the in-between.
We’re two lights in a starless sky,
No wrong place, no wrong time.
[Instrumental]
[Final Chorus + Outro]
DM if you need me
Text if you wanna see me
Don’t want you to be lonely
Call if you can’t reach me
And I’ll be there
Doesn’t matter how you find me,
Every word you send reminds me
Of the online magic we made.
Don’t let this moment fade.
[Spoken]
But in real life are we the same?
I guess not.
We live out our online fantasy of who we want to be
So that we can escape our reality
[Fade Out]
DM me, text me,
Message me, call me
DM me, text me,
Reach out, call me
DM me, text me,
Reach out, call me
But never meet me
