The Instagram Song Lyrics by James Veitch

2018

On your Facebook
I see pictures of Canary Islands '07
So I double-tap
To zoom in
That's a sensible progression

It's what I expect
It's what I expect

On your Twitter
I see a picture of a beautiful shoreline
So I double-tap
To zoom in
That's standard interface design

It's what I expect
It's what I expect

On your Instagram
[long pause and sigh to indicate what I am about to say does not make me happy]
I see a picture of you and I quite like it
So I double tap
To zoom in
Oh fucking hell I've liked it

If I delete my account will that get me out of this situation?
If I unlike it immediately will she still get the notification?
And if she does how will she think of me after that?
I suppose it depends on whether Instagram tells her the exact picture I was looking at

Oh Instagram
I'm afraid that it's fundamentally reckless
To meddle
With a series
Of universally recognised gestures

And Instagram
I think that it cannot be disputed
Double-tap
To zoom
Has been the standard since Steve Jobs introduced it

I could pretend like it was deliberate
Like I was making an ironic comment on
The nature of human duality and the way we...
I mean that's just shit

I could sporadically like other pictures
The effect of which would ideally
Obscure me singling out the one
Of you in your bikini

So when you get a moment
Please consider a retraction
It's not too late for you to change
The default interaction

And also if you get a moment
(and I don't mean to sound bossy)
But if possible, when you get a sec
Could you ask her to unblock me?

I've sent like four or five support emails about this
So...
...just when you get a chance
