vanity - holy ramen lyrics
eyes red bloodshot living in a fantasy
slowly losing the grip of reality
scrolling over the same feed repeatedly till we’re forced to go to sleep
it’s all just a number’s game at this point
starting to worth more than the coin
brand names cover up my insecurities
can’t afford a condo but can sure afford some gucci
these likes determine my self*confidence
bring em in i need that shot of dopamine
more addictive than methamphetamine
but we in denial
avoiding warnings from the professionals
there ain’t nothing social about this anymore
individual brands tryna determine their worth
online persona you stole my friend’s face
but wait aren’t i just doing the same
we all obsessed with the vanity of things
the vanity of things
the vanity of things
look at my diamond ring
we all obsessed with the vanity of things
the vanity of things
the vanity of things
what does it really mean to be living
tryna log off but i’m unable to
another couple thousand dollars spent on designer shoes
hide my flaws behind some ink and powder
it ain’t self*love no more if it’s taking away my power
and black mirror tried to warn us
but we just take it in for entertainment purposes
do you feel the nervousness
when people don’t give you the notices that you would like
since when did we all become narcissists
and i fear for my mental health all the time
i wish i could just move to the mountains
peace out goodbye
but problems gotta be dealt with not just ran away from
is there hope left for the future our kids will grow up in
maybe i’m just a pessimist
speaking from my own guilt acting as my own therapist
i’m tripping
but it gotta be a problem if i’m not the only one feeling it
we all obsessed with the vanity of things
the vanity of things
the vanity of things
look at my diamond ring
we all obsessed with the vanity of things
the vanity of things
the vanity of things
what does it really mean to be living
bout to drop some truth bombs
so y’all better listen up
let’s go
north american culture
obsessed with the vanity
we’re our own celebrity
in our minds flaunting unapologetically
show the good hide the bad
vicious cycle driving us mad
hooked on a wire as the eyes above watch us till we expire
but let’s be honest nothing’s gonna change
new norm nothing strange
i’m just a product of my environment
belong to a deprived generation with nothing but a constant need for confirmation
i just want a real conversation
is that really too much to ask
can you put down your phone and take off your mask
why you spending your whole net worth on the latest merch
skipping meals just to say that you got it first
while some people are dying of hunger and thirst
but it’s not you so turn a blind eye and enjoy your life
though i’m not really the one to talk
i’ve been chained to this lifestyle my soul under lock
kinda wish there would be some catastrophe
and then we can move back into the wilderness and be free
