Can’t shut my eyes Can’t miss a sound Even if it’s lies I want to hear it—I found I catch titles, labels Can’t stand that My head is wired with cables But I feel like an acrobat Balancing between Either being unheard Or unseen "Politics" is just a word But it makes me grasp for air Whenever I hear it voiced Perceive it as if I am not there Yearning to belong and be rejoiced Nevertheless, I pay attention To all the names and surnames I feel a tension My brain’s on fire, I can’t calm the flames

The sound I can’t miss
Can’t shut my eyes Can’t miss a sound Even if it’s lies I want to hear it—I found I catch titles, labels Can’t stand that My head is wired with cables But I feel like an acrobat Balancing between Either being unheard Or unseen "Politics" is just a word But it makes me grasp for air Whenever I hear it voiced Perceive it as if I am not there Yearning to belong and be rejoiced Nevertheless, I pay attention To all the names and surnames I feel a tension My brain’s on fire, I can’t calm the flames
This is about hearing all the complaining about the current state of Dutch politics and listening but not understanding ('cause no one explained it) and also having a very bad fear of missing out
