Phreefall feat. Flemming Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In this digital age
We're sinking in selfies
As our integrity fades
away
When we met I saw you weren't the same
Put away my phone and asked your name
You make me feel human
In this digital age
Please break me out
Of this digital cage
We'll leave here tonight
Tell me, what do you say?
Together we can be human
Escape this digital age
Escape this digital age
We're all looking for likes
But what do they mean
When most of our friends
Are people we never see?
When we met I saw you weren't the same
Put away my phone and asked your name
You make me feel human
In this digital age
Please break me out
Of this digital cage
We'll leave here tonight
Tell me, what do you say?
Together we can be human
Escape this digital age
On and on the pixels flow
But the fun is gone and we want more
I'll set my password to your name and sign out of here
You make me feel human
In this digital age
Please break me out
Of this digital cage
We'll leave here tonight
Tell me, what do you say?
Together we can be human
Escape this digital age
Escape this digital age
Escape this digital age
The lyrics of βDigital Ageβ by Phreefall speak of the challenges that are faced by humans in the era of technology and social media. The first verse talks about how the obsession with selfies and social media is taking away peopleβs integrity. The singer then reveals that they found someone who made them forget about their phone and feel like a real human being again. The chorus of the song repeats this message, with the singer asking the person they met to help them escape the digital world and be human again.
The second verse brings up the issue of social media validation and how it is not always meaningful, especially when most of our connections are online-only. The pre-chorus again highlights the connection between the two people who met outside of the digital world, emphasizing how refreshing it was to experience a genuine human connection. The bridge then moves on to the idea of finding more meaningful activities outside of social media, as the singer sets their password to their new friend's name and decides to sign out of their accounts.
The song ultimately sends a message about the importance of human connection and the dangers of losing it in the digital age. It encourages listeners to seek out real-life experiences and to not rely solely on technology for validation.

It's hard being human
Being human is difficult
In this digital age
In the era of technology
We're sinking in selfies
We're drowning in self-portraits
As our integrity fades away
As our honesty diminishes
When we met I saw you weren't the same
I noticed that you were different when we first met
Put away my phone and asked your name
I put my phone aside and asked for your name
You make me feel human
You make me feel alive
Please break me out
Please help me escape
Of this digital cage
From this prison of technology
We're all looking for likes
We're all seeking approval from others online
But what do they mean
But what is their significance
When most of our friends
When the majority of our companions
Are people we never see?
Are those whom we never encounter in person?
On and on the pixels flow
The pixels continue endlessly
But the fun is gone and we want more
But the enjoyment has vanished, and we desire something else
I'll set my password to your name and sign out of here
I'll use your name as my password and log out from here
Together we can be human
Together, we can experience being alive
Escape this digital age
Break free from this era of technology
Escape this digital age
Escape this epoch of technology
Escape this digital age
Get away from the time of technology
