"Digital Witness" by St. Vincent 2:45+ While I think I got assigned one of the hardest pictures this week, this is how I managed to interpret it: The picture shows 2 faces made out of floppy disks. Essentially, it depicts human's modern addiction with technology hence the faces are made of an object of technology. Everyone is so depended on it, that we've become a part of it. "Digital Witness" by St. Vincent talks exactly about that and specifically about our addictions with Social Media. Lives aren’t lived so much anymore as they are live-streamed, documented via social media and backed up on remote servers. It’s a reality we’ve grown used to even if we don’t necessarily like it—nothing we do is really of any value unless someone else envies it. Or at the very least, if it’s on a smartphone, there’s proof that we exist. That’s the fairly bleak observation at the heart of St. Vincent’s funky, impossibly catchy “Digital Witness.” Annie Clark ponders an existential question over the song’s buzzing, charged chorus: “If I can’t show it, if you can’t see me/What’s the point of anything?” | LYRICS [Verse 1] Get back to your seats Get back, gnashing teeth I want all of your mind People turn the TV on, it looks just like a window Yeah People turn the TV on, it looks just like a window Yeah [Chorus] Digital witnesses What's the point of even sleeping? If I can't show it, if you can't see me What's the point of doing anything? [Post-Chorus] This is no time for confessing [Verse 2] I want all of your mind People turn the TV on, it looks just like a window Yeah People turn the TV on, it looks just like a window Yeah [Chorus] Digital witnesses What's the point of even sleeping? If I can't show, if you can't see me Watch me jump right off the London Bridge [Post-Chorus] This is no time for confessing [Verse 2] People turn the TV on and throw it out the window, yeah Get back to your stare, I care but I don't care Oh oh oh I want all of your mind Gimme all of your mind I want all of your mind Gimme all of it [Chorus] Digital witnesses What's the point of even sleeping? If I can't show it, if you can't see me What's the point of doing anything? What's the point of even sleeping? So I stopped sleeping yeah I stopped sleeping Won't somebody sell me back to me? |
