From the recording LP13 EMPOWERMENT

The song’s narrator turns away from a world of constant digital noise—screens that “never sleep,” satellites overhead, and the “glass eyes” of smartphones—seeking refuge in silence and tangible reality. “Technophobia” becomes less a literal fear of machines than a quiet rebellion: folding the map and pulling the plug to resist the endless updates and invisible networks that blur what is genuine. The half-spoken bridge underscores a feeling of isolation—“a signal lost, a story untold”—as the speaker slips outside the connected world. By ending with the confession, “It’s all too much—I just want everything to be real,” the lyric captures a weary longing for authenticity in an age when technology feels overwhelming and reality itself seems mediated.

Lyrics

TECHNOPHOBIA

Verse 1
White noise in the wires,
screens that never sleep.
I pull the plug,
let the silence creep.

Chorus
let the future pass me by.
watch the satellites fly.
It’s all too much—
I just want everything to be real.

Verse 2
Glass eyes in my pocket,
whispers I can’t trust.
I fold the map,
let it gather dust.

Chorus
let the future pass me by.
watch the satellites fly.
It’s all too much—
I just want everything to be real.

Bridge
No cloud, no code,
no voice on hold.
I’m a signal lost,
a story untold.

Outro
I walk where the cables end,
under an unplugged sky.
It’s all too much—
I just want everything to be real
Technophobia
