about

When you've successfully kicked a bad habit or an addiction like social media, you can't help but to look back and wonder how you were able to have been so stupid and naively lost. But in the end the only person you'll have to answer to is yourself in this kind of situation. So it is with yourself you'll have to make peace with, above blaming possible second or third parties deserving as they may be. Only by forgiving yourself will you be able to put the matter to rest for good. Here's hoping you will!

lyrics

I believe I owe an explanation to myself now
To myself now
All the years I pleased myself by
Clicking all the likes
While I was barely half alive

Signed out, still I know I tried
Clicked ”like” like a hundred times
Always replied
To boost my profile

Feel lost when I go outside
Where’s the sex, where’s the sunny side?
What’s this cold life?
I wanna be inside

Whoa-whoa-oh
Come back to me
Who’s whispering?
Whoa-whoa-oh
Come back to me
Obey the screen

Feel anxious when you’re far away
The next room like the Milky Way
I can not put you down
I will not put you down

But then I cracked like a twig in the cold
For a minute felt a hundred years old
I put my phone down
I’ve let myself down

I believe I owe an explanation to myself now
To myself now
All the years I pleased myself by
Clicking all the likes
While I was barely half alive

Surface, surface!
I need to resurface, surface
I can see the surface
Don’t let it drag me down
Don’t leave me to drown

Surface, surface!
I need to resurface, surface
I can see the surface
And sunlight, daylight
Wildlife, my lost time

I believe I owe an explanation to myself now
To myself now
All the years I pleased myself by
Clicking all the likes
While I was barely half alive

Whoa-whoa-oh
Come back to me
Who’s whispering?
Whoa-whoa-oh
Come back to me
Obey the screen

Whoa-whoa-oh
Come back to me
Who’s whispering?
Whoa-whoa-oh
Come back to me
Obey the screen

I believe I owe an explanation to myself now
To myself now

The Fisherman & The Sea image

The Fisherman & The Sea Helsinki, Finland

From Finland – a country that allegedly holds more metal bands than park rangers are able to rescue from their gothic photoshoots in the hinterlands, and where disoriented polar bears roam downtown shopping centres – hail singer-songwriter Jon Eden and his band. His roots also put him in Hamburg, Germany thus planting him somewhere in the Baltic Sea in compromise – hence the name of the band. ... more
