Impossible
Black Moon & Smif-N-Wessun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
“Clickbait” overrated
Hangin by a wire
Million “likes” filter faded
Hopeless cyber child
You crave the popular world
Fixated on the digital girl
Scroll for days and days...
Chorus:
#Hashtag it's Black and Blue
Cheap words split you in two
Scorch & Burn no in-between
There goes the Impossible Thing!
“Gone Viral” pretty sterile
Devoted to the show
Hacked up all wild and feral
Virtual losers row
You crave every phony disguise
cddicted to a dream
You buy every fake smile
Reality's never what it seems (no never)
Chorus:
#Hashtag Two-Faced
Cold “Shares” disgrace
Consume no in-between
There goes the Impossible Thing
Chorus:
#Hashtag Zombie
No prayer you'll see
Scorch & Burn” no in-between
There goes the Impossible Thing
You're gonna scorch and burn
Clickbait! You're overrated!
You're overrated!
The lyrics of "Impossible" by Black Moon & Smif-N-Wessun delve into the themes of digital addiction, superficiality, and the illusion of popularity in the age of social media. The opening lines criticize the obsession with seeking validation through online platforms, with references to "clickbait" and the fleeting nature of social media approval. The imagery of hanging by a wire and the fading filter on million "likes" paint a picture of a generation consumed by an insatiable desire for online recognition, representing a hopeless state of dependency on virtual connections.
The chorus of the song highlights the negative effects of this digital obsession, as the symbolism of being split in two by cheap words and the absence of a middle ground suggest a polarized, black-and-blue reality where authenticity is lost in the quest for online approval. The declaration that "there goes the Impossible Thing" implies that true connection and genuine human interaction have become unattainable in a world dominated by superficial online relationships.
Further, the lyrics explore the consequences of seeking fame through viral moments and the emptiness of chasing after virtual attention. The mention of a "virtual losers row" paints a bleak picture of individuals lost in the facade of online personas, craving validation through fabricated images and phony facades. The repeated references to hashtags, two-faced behavior, and a lack of authentic connections emphasize the theme of disconnection and the breakdown of genuine human relationships in the digital age.
The final verses of the song deliver a stark warning about the destructive path of digital addiction, with the imagery of scorching and burning symbolizing the inevitable consequences of being consumed by the superficial allure of social media. The repetition of "clickbait" being overrated reinforces the idea that the pursuit of online validation is ultimately empty and unfulfilling. In essence, "Impossible" serves as a scathing critique of the modern obsession with digital approval and the loss of true human connection in a virtual, image-driven world.
