Yo...
Masked up in this masquerade of modern day illusions
Screens glow like windows but they're really just confusions
Every swipe's a promise that we're somehow getting closer
While the world spins madder and our minds keep getting slower
MYSTER MAN HERE TO TELL IT HOW IT IS (echoes...)
Mom's on her iPhone reading end times prophecies
Dad's retirement fund just turned to NFT's
Sister's got an OnlyFans, brother's mining coins
While I'm in my room just trying to connect these points
WHAT'S REAL ANYMORE? (echoes...)
Breathe in... (inhale)
Breathe out... (exhale)
That's the only truth I know right now
Got these talking heads all screaming 'bout the AI wave
While I'm sitting here just trying to get myself paid
Three jobs deep but my bank account's still hurting
Metaverse promises while real life's still burning
THE MYSTERY DEEPENS... (echoes...)
Dating profiles read like résumés these days
Everyone's an entrepreneur in different ways
Hustling backwards while we're scrolling forward
Identity's a product that we can't afford
BUT WE KEEP ON MOVING...
Breathe in... (inhale)
Breathe out... (exhale)
Mystery of life just spinning round
Remember when they said 2024 would be the future?
Instead we got anxiety as our main computer
Elon's shooting rockets while we're shooting prayers
That our rent don't rise above what minimum wage bears
MYSTER MAN SEES THE PATTERN...
My algorithm knows me better than my mirror
Suggesting products for the pain that's getting clearer
But underneath these ones and zeros lies the truth:
We're all just humans trying not to lose our roots
CAN YOU FEEL IT?
Breathe in... (inhale)
Breathe out... (exhale)
Mystery's in every single cloud
Sometimes I remove my mask just to feel the rain
No filters, no followers, no digital pain
Just me and this moment, raw and unrefined
Before the notifications hack back in my mind
THIS IS THE MYSTERY...
They call us soft but we're carrying tomorrow
On shoulders bent from likes and digital sorrow
Climate crisis, culture wars, and crypto dreams
Reality ain't what any of it seems
BUT MYSTER MAN KNOWS...
Breathe in... (inhale)
Breathe out... (exhale)
That's the rhythm we should follow now
So here's to all the lost ones finding their way home
Through fiber optic forests where the wild codes roam
We might not have the answers in this digital haze
But mystery's the teacher that deserves our praise
MYSTER MAN... SIGNING OUT...
** Keep breathing... in the mystery...
