Screenager Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Who's so phony and always surrounded?
Stop your screaming, no one can hear
All the scars on your skin post no bills
[Chorus]
Who you were
Was so beautiful
Remember who
Who you were
[Verse 2]
Hide from the mirror—the cracks and the memories
Hide from your family, they won't know you now
For all the holes in our souls host no thrills
[Chorus]
Who you were
Was so beautiful
Remember who
Who you were
Who's so phony and always surrounded?
Stop your screaming, no one can hear
All the scars on your skin post no bills
[Chorus]
Who you were
Was so beautiful
Remember who
Who you were
[Verse 2]
Hide from the mirror—the cracks and the memories
Hide from your family, they won't know you now
For all the holes in our souls host no thrills
[Chorus]
Who you were
Was so beautiful
Remember who
Who you were
About
Genius Annotation
Screenager is a modern teenager being brought up by the screen who develops a distorted image of their body because of pictures in magazines and because technology is rejecting the physical bodies we live in. It’s also a bit about people who cut themselves because I used to have friends who did it and I didn’t know why. I tried to grasp that it’s needing something quite brutal to remind you what your body’s about
