Forgetting The Upside
I view social media
As a mirror
I think what people are putting out
Is an incredible indicator of what's inside of them
So right now there's a lot of political anxiety
There's a lot of ideological anxiety
And so what we're seeing is
A lot of judgment
We consume as animals
And I think if one feels overwhelmed
They should stop consuming
Stop consuming
I don't put social media consumption
In a very different place
Than the films and music
And books that one reads
The collective replies of people's angst
Is no different than Kurt Cobain's singular angst
(Chorus)
And I think we're forgetting the upside
There's so much love and greatness going on every day
Forgetting the upside
Humans find what they're looking for
We're forgetting the upside
There's so much love and greatness going on every day
Forgetting the upside
Humans find what they're looking for
I think it's great
I don't care about social media
I really don't
I care about humans communicating with each other
I'm fascinated by communication
And I'm fascinated that we now have a collective ability
To communicate at a scale that we've never seen before
And I think right now
People are focusing on the downside of that
They're signing into Twitter to find a fight
Or to find somebody to fight with
To see some negativity
You're gonna find it
I think if you go to Twitter or Instagram
To find
Happiness and positivity
It's there
At scale
(Chorus)
And I think we're forgetting the upside
There's so much love and greatness going on every day
Forgetting the upside
Humans finds what they're looking for
We're forgetting the upside
There's so much love and greatness going on every day
Forgetting the upside
Humans finds what they are looking for
