“This track was written during a time when I was observing the pervasiveness of social media in our culture, and the negative impact that it’s had on the collective consciousness of our society. I started to find myself plagued with a sense of inadequacy, due to comparing my life to the highlight reels that were being portrayed on social media, until I realized that a majority of what I saw wasn’t even real. Fabricating an “ideal life” on social media is often times a form of escapism, especially when there’s a disconnect between a ones’ desired life and their reality.” – Dubem
