Airplane Mode

Buzz, vibrate, ring, ding, another notification

My brain is getting fried by the over-stimulation

I've got three hundred emails that I haven't even read

And the blue light is burning a hole in my head

I'm scrolling through the filtered lives of people I don't know

Comparing my behind-the-scenes to everybody's show

I need to cut the cord, I need to kill the satellite

'Cause I haven't heard a single word You've spoken to me all night

My thumb is getting tired of the swipe, swipe, swipe

I'm tired of the headlines, I'm tired of the hype

I'm scared of the silence, I'm scared to unplug

But I'm feeling like a junkie who is needing a drug

So I'm going on Airplane Mode

I'm cutting the signal, I'm blocking the code

I'm flying above all the static and noise

To listen for silence, to listen for poise

No Wi-Fi, no signal, no 5G connection

Just me and the Father in quiet reflection

Yeah, the world is too heavy, the signal's a load

I'll see you tomorrow, I'm on Airplane Mode

It's been twenty minutes and my hands start to shake

I'm wondering what happened, all the news that could break

Did somebody text me? Did somebody call?

Did the stock market crash? Did the government fall?

But then the quiet settles in like a blanket of snow

And I hear a little whisper saying, Let it all go

The FOMO is fading, the panic is gone

I realized the world keeps spinning at dawn

Even if I'm not there to double-tap on the screen

I'm finally waking up from the digital dream

My thumb is getting tired of the swipe, swipe, swipe

I'm tired of the headlines, I'm tired of the hype

I'm scared of the silence, I'm scared to unplug

But I'm feeling like a junkie who is needing a drug

So I'm going on Airplane Mode

I'm cutting the signal, I'm blocking the code

I'm flying above all the static and noise

To listen for silence, to listen for poise

No Wi-Fi, no signal, no 5G connection

Just me and the Father in quiet reflection

Yeah, the world is too heavy, the signal's a load

I'll see you tomorrow, I'm on Airplane Mode

Can you hear me now?

Can you hear me now?

Good

Disconnect to connect

Yeah, I'm offline
