Lightscreens Lyrics by Samiir Saunders

26

2022

[Verse 1]
I see you through screens, I see what you let me see
I see how you show your soul, I see how it hurts to breathe
You've got love but no control, you've got hurt but no release
I wish I could hold you close but baby, I see you through screens, yeah
[Chorus]
Lightscreens feel so sacred when you're inside
Your heart's torn by changes, you're terrified
Days just spill like water, we drown in time
I wish I could be there right by your side
[Verse 2]
I see you through screens, I see what you let me see
I see how you pour your soul, I see what it takes to bleed
You're so far away from home the sickness burns you in your sleep
And now that you live alone all your mirrors feel like teeth
Unspilled tears turn vinegar
Sour little lies in your mind so sinister
Cylinders fire but the hollow drum ringing out melodies of doubt keep your self-esteem prisoner
Thoughts of regression ĺike a dull ache
Skull plagued by the migraines all day
Coolness is the branding but it's all fake
IG still demands even more of your face
[Chorus]
Lightscreens feel so sacred when you're inside
Your heart's torn by changes, you're terrified
Days just spill like water, we drown in time
I wish I could be there right by your side
[Verse 3]
All we ever see is the screen
Funny how machines turn everyone so parasocial
Even those that we're close to
Memories melt into photos
Neat likkle package for the timeline
More time, it's a lifeline to the shoreline
Short form, short content for sore eyes
Sure fine, I guess it's alright
Come find me, I'm buried in the tension
Treading water, barely getting breaths in
Living gig to gig, with pitiful protections
Working all the time and not even for a pension
Not to mention the drain on attention
Not to mention the game of confessions
Not to mention the aimless direction
Not to mention the waning connections
[Chorus]
Lightscreens feel so sacred when you're inside
Your heart's torn by changes, you're terrified
Days just spill like water, we are baptised
Lightscreens glow like halos when you're inside
You turn my screen into a shrine of light
It's a joy to witness you living life
I see pain and fear in your tired eyes
I see hope and fire, you burn so bright
[Verse 4]
I love you, I miss you
Lightscreens are somewhat of a gift too
We can be both the seen and the witness
And somehow feel God from a distance
I love you, I miss you
Lightscreens are somewhat of a gift too
We can be both the seen and the witness
And somehow feel God from a distance
[Outro]
Lightscreens feel so sacred when you're inside (Lightscreens feel like cages, I'm stuck inside)
Your heart's torn by changes, you're terrified (My heart's torn by changes, I'm terrified)
Days just spill like water, we are baptised (Days just spill like water, we drown in time)
Lightscreens glow like halos when you're inside (I wish I could be there right by your side)
You turn my screen into a shrine of light (Lightscreens feel like cages, I'm stuck inside)
It's a joy to witness you living life (It's a joy to witness your burning light)
I see pain and fear in your tired eyes (I see pain and fear in your tired eyes)
I see hope and fire, you burn so bright (I see hope and fire, you burn so bright)
