lyrics

She’s living extremely online, the titular star of her timeline.
A social platform butterfly.
A finsta ‘count just standing by.

With her stans so parasocial, relationships seem insubstantial.
Thirst trap in a soap commercial.
Devious licks too controversial.

And she does just as she please.
Doors swing open with her keys.
Because it’s obvious to see her main character energy.

Manufactured scarcity.
Branded content licensing.
Fulfilling all of Maslow's needs with multi-level marketing.

Main character energy.
Attention economy.
Livestream community.
Appearance is everything.

And she does just as she please.
Doors swing open with her keys.
Because it’s obvious to see her main character energy.

Damn this fear of missing out.
Stasis sparks uncertain doubt.
Constant change the last redoubt with the squad that has the clout.

Decadent prosperity.
Mediated reality.
Curated authenticity.
Transcendental synergy.
Meme character entropy.
Cost-per-click metonymy.
Lookalike society.
Appearance is everything.

And she does just as she please.
Doors swing open with her keys.
Because it’s obvious to see her main character energy.

Influencers and assistants: a simulacrum of existence.
Moral panic in the walled garden.
Like, subscribe – I beg your pardon!

Product placement as a pretense.
Artifice as lived experience.
Network effects taking shape: blue check, bourgeois, Bored Ape.

Vanity Fair and Condé Nast, solipsists of the digital caste, attention whores and ecdysiasts, remember life comes at you fast!

And she does just as she please.
Doors swing open with her keys.
Because it’s obvious to see her main character energy.
