Popularity
Matthew Isenberg
GENRE
[VERSE 1]
They ask, “how are you doing”
Then say, “let’s talk about me
I’m sure your life is fine
So, let’s just discuss mine”
Where are all our endless friends
We’ve not yet met but “they’re the best”
[PRE-Chorus]
Far more people than we’ve known
But, more than ever, we’re so alone
Compulsive scrolling through our phones
Avert our eyes because wе’re shy
Introversion’s widely known
It’s what wе’re shown as normal life
[Chorus]
But we wanna be famous
Our names well-known worldwide
Some fame well-earned inside
Popularity is not so heinous
Make some tunes, do something new
Meet a few more instant friends
Stroll into some random DMs
What benefit is it to you
We strive for popularity
And wind up in hilarity
It’s not excessive irony
The height we climb falls drastically
[VERSE 2]
I’ve been deeply lonely
Surrounded by wrong types
I left the God who loves me
And I’ve been wasting my life
[VERSE 3]
I want to return to my first love
But would You take me back?
Lord, I’m sorry that I left
Please, God, don’t turn Your back on me
When I try to be
[Chorus 2]
Famous
My face renowned worldwide
The chase for fame satisfied
Isn’t recognition painless (No!)
I turned my back on family
‘Cause I want people to know me
Caring for praise and awards
More than those close to me
We strive for popularity
And lose our solidarity
It’s really not much irony
The mountain’s peak is treachery
[VERSE 4]
Jesus, You still love me
Though I ran to strife
You’re now my focus solely
You can have, completely, my life
They ask, “how are you doing”
Then say, “let’s talk about me
I’m sure your life is fine
So, let’s just discuss mine”
Where are all our endless friends
We’ve not yet met but “they’re the best”
[PRE-Chorus]
Far more people than we’ve known
But, more than ever, we’re so alone
Compulsive scrolling through our phones
Avert our eyes because wе’re shy
Introversion’s widely known
It’s what wе’re shown as normal life
[Chorus]
But we wanna be famous
Our names well-known worldwide
Some fame well-earned inside
Popularity is not so heinous
Make some tunes, do something new
Meet a few more instant friends
Stroll into some random DMs
What benefit is it to you
We strive for popularity
And wind up in hilarity
It’s not excessive irony
The height we climb falls drastically

And I’ve been wasting my life
