A song about the cognitive dissonance of feeling “super connected”: supposedly informed and part of a community via social media, yet deluded if we think typing words into a little box is enough to show empathy to people in very different situations to our own comfort. “If we’re super connected, why aren’t we all floating in the sea?”
lyrics
LYRICS
======
I drew a target on the back of my neck
Cos some are more equal than others
Disaster junkies scrape bottomless feeds
As long as their self-satisfaction’s guaranteed
We hold on to life, like everyone tries
If we’re super connected
Why aren’t we all floating in the sea?
Stuck with myself, I run for my health
Cos these pretty flowers can kill you
Send bottles downstream in an alkaloid dream
Share in this delusion where no-one hears you scream
We hold on to life, like everyone tries
If we’re super connected
Why aren’t we all floating in the sea?
We hold on to life, like everyone tries
If we’re super connected
Why aren’t we all floating in the sea?

"...an album that looks as much to this side of The Pond as the UK, She Makes War's debut album is a dark melange of 90s Riot Grrrl meets indie-pop meets disquieting ballads, all the time not missing a beat..."
