Internet Arguments

Liner Notes

#pop #rock #indierock #poprock #altpop #indiepop
i feel like this song is very stylistically reminiscent of marc with a c, and thats a fact im happy with. this song is derivative of a demo i wrote on cassette a few months ago, and at some point i accidentally taped over most of it, leaving only 10 seconds left of the original. so except for the first two lines and the chords (except the bridge) this song is brand new. :]

Lyrics

better to waste your time than mine
im not all that online
better not wait til i gotta go
i wont be letting my wife go alone

if you find out where i live
ill be sure to know that only you care
internet arguments
only end when im tucked in bed

you can summon all the trolls you want
they wont do more than talk my ears off
after that what can you do
only summon more trolls to me from you

if only you knew the end was in sight
for all your favourite social sites
internet arguments
only end when im tucked in bed

ill wake up in the morning
and ill have forgotten our exchange
when i log off for the night
i play a different game

internet arguments
only end when im tucked in bed
if i stay up all through the night
then in the morning my eyes will be red

The first verse feels like the way the voices in my head won't turn off when I stop scrolling. It feels like maybe the singer's arguments don't really end even when tucked into bed...But then the wordless syllables at the end feel like they might really be changing the channel to something healthier...

Love your voice! The playing is great, and I love the cynical, cyclical lyrics. Very fun track!

No one can win an internet argument (including on this site, where unfortunately they do happen too). The only way to "win" is not to play and make a fun, droll, snarky song on the topic. Which you've done. And the song *is* an absolute winner. Thanks for making me smile!
