Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid - Parasocial Activity Lyrics

A new form of misery
All this content means nothing to me
Follow me
More to see
Thanks for blindly watching over me

The web's tangled hold on me
No entertainment just stupidity
Follow me
More to see
Thanks for blindly watching over me
A new form of misery
All this content means nothing to me
Follow me
More to see
Thanks for blindly watching over me

False idols stream from pools of gold
Followed by many but really known by none
Only known on screen but vaguely in real life
The real monsters hiding in plain sight

Influencing many
Parasocial plague
The wicked simply ask
Like, subscribe, and obey
Now thanks for watching and paying their way
A new victim of the parasocial plague

The web's tangled hold on me
No entertainment just stupidity
Follow me
More to see
Thanks for blindly watching over me
A new form of misery
All this content means nothing to me
Follow me
More to see
Thanks for blindly watching over me

How in the world did it get this bad?
It's like we're blindly scrolling to the next dumb fad
We're watching our lives trending in real-time
The algorithm's grip on our leash is real tight

Pulling us where they want our eyes to look (Eyes to look)
Making sure we're never really off the hook
Making the famous look just like us (Just like us)
So far from the truth, they wouldn't make the cut

The web's tangled hold on me
No entertainment just stupidity
Follow me
More to see
Thanks for blindly watching over me
A new form of misery
All this content means nothing to me
Follow me
More to see
Thanks for blindly watching over me

Worthless pile of filth
(Parasocial activity)
Basking in your wealth
(Parasocial activity)
Lacking a real soul
(Parasocial activity)
So you simply just pretend

Like, subscribe, and obey for more
