Hey y'all! I've seen a lot more mention of parasocial relationships going to far online in recent months, so I wanted to cover Caleb's song to both bring attention to the song itself, and the topic of parasocial relationships as a whole, PLEASE do not confuse creators who are strangers to you for being friends just because you support them

Original song by @CalebHyles, Jonathan Young, & Judge & Jury!

If you found this enjoyed the song, give it a like.

And be sure to add it to a playlist if you want to watch it later. ;)

Were you told what is real and beautiful?
Were you told to subscribe to lies?
Do you feel like you're lost, delusional?
All your time is monetized?
Get the camera to capture all your tears
There's a currency in your cries
They are listening close to all your fears
Your emotions weaponized
I can see it in your eyes

You and I are more than numbers on the screen
To analyze, just close your eyes
Are you searching for a window into me
To idolize? Idolize

Bring a tithe to the altar of success
You will not be demonized
The adrenaline coursing through my chest
In a virtual paradise
Is there anywhere left where I can rest?
Is there ever a private life?
I'm expected to show you all my best
And it's leaving me paralyzed

You and I are more than numbers on the screen
To analyze, analyze
Are you searching for a window into me
To idolize? Idolize

Maybe one day we will be reborn
Or is this humanity's final form?
Into the mirror, we are tired and worn
Must I fight for more?

You and I are more than numbers on the screen
To analyze, just close your eyes
Are you searching for a window into me
To idolize? Idolize
