Highlights scrollin by
I see myself in your eyes
I feel so alive
You got me tongue-tied
Unravel it if you like
You can tell when I lie
From you where do I hide?
Checkin myself out in this black mirror
Look at my outfit, isn't it a killer?
They say if a pine tree was to go timber and nobody was around the forest wouldn't remember
I was back in New York, it was back in December, the photo of 30 Rock look like a greeting from Santa
Cupcakes at Magnolia always look like a winner but I would prefer the dumplings that they serve near the Chambers
Street station
Glasses on, I look at life with my lens craft
Face ID, I guard it like a PIN pad, whitewash the grill they told me other colors look bad
I guess the yellow always remind them of witchcraft
Why buy the six when they got the seven?
Rest in peace to my headphone jack, I hope it's up in heaven
Don't go to church no more but I will stream the sermons
Nowadays we rather live a meme, than die a legend
My life scrollin by
Highlights scrollin by
I see myself in your eyes
I feel so alive
You got me tongue-tied
Unravel it if you like
You can tell when I lie
From you where do I hide?
If I occur in your mentions please pray for me
It's been a long week and I ain't found time to feed
If I disappear from this earth was it the result of curse
Or did a higher plane just open up vacancy?
You got me sub scribed, I just wanted the free wifi
c fire fit and a walk along the Highline
c pint of cider or a cup of chamomile, I'm
simple in desire, I don't need the second phone line
The candle was a votive
I used to want to get quoted
Now I just wanna learn to be devoted
Fell out of line like an old notification
That red numeral haunt me like a seance
God bless the decimals and every algorithm
The court cases that told corporations that they livin
I find my space in the recycle bin and I wonder if it's true that stray dogs go to heaven
cmen.
Tap me on the shoulder
I'll hold you in the dark
They say all we need is time
But all we got is us
The lyrics in Jason Chu's song "Mood" reflect on the fast-paced, technology-driven world we live in and explores themes of identity, self-reflection, and the desire for human connection. The opening lines, "My life scrollin by, Highlights scrollin by, I see myself in your eyes, I feel so alive," convey the feeling of being caught up in the constant stream of information and images that flood our screens, but also finding a sense of validation and excitement through the connections we make with others. It highlights the parallels between our own lives and the highlights we see in others, blurring the lines between reality and the curated versions of ourselves we project online.
The reference to the "black mirror" and "looking at life with my lens craft" suggests the reliance on technology and social media to shape our self-image and perception. Jason Chu also touches on the loss of the traditional headphone jack and the shift towards streaming and living in a world of memes. There is a longing for deeper experiences and connections, expressed through lines like "If I disappear from this earth was it the result of curse, or did a higher plane just open up vacancy?" and "They say all we need is time, but all we got is us." It speaks to the difficulty of finding true fulfillment in a world that often prioritizes surface-level interactions and a constant pursuit of the next best thing.
Overall, "Mood" dives into the complexities of living in a digital age, examining the impact of technology on relationships, self-perception, and the yearning for genuine connections.
