Lonely Generation
Echosmith Lyrics

We're the lonely generation
We are the current generation that feels alone despite the presence of technology and social media.

A pixelated version of ourselves
Our online persona is a digital representation of who we are, not necessarily the true version of ourselves.

Empty conversations
We engage in conversations that lack genuine connection and meaning, usually through social media or messaging apps.

I've disconnected, now I'm by myself
As a result of our dependence on technology, we have lost the ability to connect with others on a deeper level, leading to feelings of loneliness and isolation.

Looking through a screen makes you feel alright
We turn to technology to feel connected, but the virtual world is only a temporary fix that fails to address our deeper emotional needs.

Looking in the wrong place for something right
We seek validation and meaningful connections through technology, but we are looking in the wrong place for true fulfillment.

Drinking from a broken glass, don't realize
We engage in destructive behaviors without realizing the harmful effects they have on our emotional and mental wellbeing.

Wasting time and stuck inside a broken dream
We spend our time consuming meaningless content and chasing unattainable ideals, leading to a sense of feeling lost and unfulfilled.

Is this real or just a dream?
We question the authenticity of our experiences in the digital age, uncertain whether what we are seeing and feeling is genuine or manufactured.

Are we living in the in-between?
We feel stuck between the real world and the virtual world, unsure of where we truly belong or what is truly important.
