Exodus
Ruelle Lyrics

Creatures of habit
We are creatures of habit, creatures who are inclined to follow the same patterns and routines consciously or subconsciously.

Oh, we’re so systematic
We are known to be systematic, attractive of discipline and order, and always keeping things controlled.

Oh, no (oh, no)
As we continue to follow the same routine, we realize that doing so offers us no benefit or any additional success, leading to disappointment.

Hypnotized by the magic
We are fascinated by the magic of our daily lives and the technology surrounding it, yet it hinder our capability to harness its full potential.

But we're too scared to have it
Although we're interested in technology, we are afraid to make use of it, as exploring it requires tolerance for failure and the unknown.

Can we break out of the mold?
Can we manage to divert from the predictable patterns and routines and start experimenting with new ways of approaching our lives?

This is getting old
The repeated routine is becoming tedious and boring, urging us to look for something new and different to break out of this cycle.

Lonely, we're so lonely
Despite the rise in social networks and constant interactions, we are still in isolation, lacking genuine connections and failing to understand one another.

Our followers keep growing
While we have an abundance of followers on social media, these people are not necessarily our friends, and there's much we do not know about them.

But do we know each other outside of all this clutter?
Compared to the digital connection, do we have actual offline relationships and meaningful interactions between us?

Comparison is killing us
Comparing ourselves, our possessions, and our lives to others' is burdening us, resulting in a negative, unfulfilling self-image.

We hate it, but we can't get enough
Although we are aware of our need to stop comparing and leading our own lives, but we're addicted to the excitement of social media and keep scrolling to keep up-to-date.

Can we find our own lane?
Can we figure out our unique skills and interests and explore them, instead of blindly becoming another trend followers?

Before it drives us insane?
It is easy to be pulled into the cycle of trends and constant interactions, leading to negative impacts to self-esteem, judgment, and lifestyle.

Soak in the wonder
Take a moment and indulge in the simple wonders of the world that surrounds us.

Outside of filters and colors
Indulge in the beauty of nature and all its colors, without the filters and manipulation of technology.

Let go (oh, no)
Let go of the control we think we have over our daily life, and experience new opportunities and possibilities.

Oh, this pressure we're under
The pressure of social media, and how it has a direct impact on our perception of our self-worth and the self-perception of others towards us.

It's louder than thunder
The stress and anxiety from the constant comparisons and self-judgment is more burdensome than the noise of thunder.

Can we separate the noise from our inner voice?
Can we differentiate between the noise of social media and the voice of reason and emotions inside us?

And slow it down
Take a step back and slow down our pace of life that is generated by social media trends and stimuli.

Can we just slow it down?
Can we make the decision to stop our current routine and start adjusting our life to a slower pace course that is more controlled by us (not social media)?

Can we come back to us?
Can we not lose our identity and return to a true representation of us, instead of imitating others through social media trends?

Remember how it was?
Remember a time where we didn't rely on social media as our guidance and source of entertainment.

Let it all turn to dust
The chaos of social media will eventually be forgotten, left as a memory in our minds.

We need an exodus
We require a new beginning, a shift towards a more personalized way of living that is controlled by our inner voice.

Don't wanna forget how to feel
We don't want to lose our connection to a genuine experience, with emotions that feel real and impactful.

Make believing this is real
Making the illusion generated by social media and its fake reality appear genuine.

Just wanna get lost in the moment
Experience meaningful moments that take us away from the prolonged hours of scrolling and disconnect us from the online world.

So I can
Indulge in a more genuine experience outside of social media.

We need an exodus
We must shift from following the trends and patterns of social media, to start experiencing authentic and genuine experiences controlled by us.
