Phone Static
Ebony Loren Lyrics

I wanna turn my phone off
I want to disconnect from my phone

But that's where all my friends are
But my only connection to friends is through my phone

What do I do
I don't know how to connect with people in real life

Why is it so hard
I don't understand why meeting new people is difficult

To find someone new
To make a connection with someone I haven't met before

So far away
It feels like distant past

Are the days
When I used to have someone right beside me

Now I confide in my phone screen
Now I rely on my phone for emotional connection

It's tiring
It's becoming exhausting

I just wanna feel something
I want to feel an emotional connection

Lonely nights talking to pixels
I spend lonely nights texting or socializing on my phone

I don't go out
I don't socialize or interact with people

Don't intermix with the crowd
I don't blend with a group of people

And I wonder why
And I question why

I'm sitting all alone
I'm feeling isolated and alone

Staring at my phone oh
Spending my time looking at my phone's screen uselessly

I just want a connection
I want a genuine emotional bond with someone

Is that so hard to ask for
Is that really too much to ask for?

I just want something that's real, that's alive
I want something real and tangible, with a sense of being alive

Don't want no white noise on the other line
Don't want any fake or nonsensical communication on the other side

Phone static oh
Experiencing poor signal or poor quality of connection

I'm tired of being by myself
I'm tired of being alone

But it's better for my mental health
Being alone may have benefits for my mental health

I do not like anybody here
I don't feel connected to anyone around me

So why do I care
So why should I care?

I tell myself
I try to convince myself

That I just need to have someone right beside me
That I just need someone's physical presence beside me

Or else I'm nothing
Otherwise, I feel like nothing

But for me
But I feel differently

I'd rather be alone
I prefer to be alone

Than with some people that I don't know
Than be with strangers or people I don't acquaint with

Text messages on repeat
Receiving same messages over and over again

Start to lose all feeling
Start to lose all emotional sensation

Where are the people for me
Where are the people who could understand me?

Phone static
Poor communication due to poor signal strength or quality
