about

"Nearly 2 years ago when the Ukraine war broke loose I found myself in a constant down state for a few days. I kept on writing and building over the piano loop after feeling: at first denial; then that it would be the end of the world; that history was just stuck on repeat; that I wouldn’t want to fight for anything if it happened to me; doom scrolling between adverts... All too surreal... It was the first time kids were consuming war as live entertainment on social media. Soldiers posting TikTok dance videos right before killing or being killed hit me hard, hence the title.

“OH MY! BUT SAFE HERE ONLINE”

What's going on!? How evil, bla bla bla then 2 seconds later we are all watching cats on youtube again… Are we ever gonna change? Of course not..."

lyrics

You've been calling me up
Silent On, Vibrate Off
I'll just lay here ignoring
As if we didn't have enough

Just keep piling shit up
So we can attract more flies
OH MY! But we’re safe here online, safe here online
OH MY! But It’s easier… When all you do is swipe right

So come on bring it on
What else could possibly go wrong
That we’re not used to by now?
Even tried pinching my skin
I'm deep under this stream of
Unconsciousness again

OH MY! But we’re safe here online, safe here online
OH MY! But we’re safe here online, Yeah safe here online

Global overstimulated indifference
Entertainment is bigger than it’s ever been
Tickets are free
All you need:
A steady internet connection, soak up a couple things you can’t afford and never need

Congratulations you’re admitted
Prime time tonight: War in real time
Soldiers dance on TikTok right before the last blast off

History’s stuck on repeat
Nothing us modern slaves can do bout it anyway
This has nothing to do with me, till it hits me in the face, or they stroll through my backyard or only maybe new chips for my devices run dry

OH MY! But are we ever gonna change? I guess not
Safe here online…

OH MY! Safe here online, safe here online
OH MY! But It’s easier… When all you do is swipe right

Enjoy the rest of your night
