This powerful song delves into the dark world of online influencers who spread misinformation with impunity, only to feign ignorance when confronted. The gripping lyrics dissect the harmful impact of fake narratives and the ethical responsibility of those wielding social media's reach.
Verse 1:
You can't get rid of this, pound for pound, top tier shame
Spewed lies like, like lies don't die, inscribed by your own hands
Echoes in the void, a million clicks in the making
Your throne of deception, how long can you fake it?
Chorus:
Influence and illusion, weaving webs made of air
When the truth comes crashing down, will you still be unaware?
Verse 2:
Digital puppeteer, pulling strings from the shadows
Counting likes over lives, the truth your heart never knows
With every post you make, a new divide will show
Watch the world you’ve tarnished, it’s a dangerous game you sow
Chorus:
Influence and illusion, casting doubt on the real
When the truth comes crashing down, can you make them feel?
Bridge:
Your followers a legion, but they’re blind to your art
The absence of accountability tearing us apart
You’ll pull away the curtain, but there’s nothing behind
When the house of cards falls down, where will you hide?
Chorus:
Influence and illusion, weaving webs made of air
When the truth comes crashing down, will you still be unaware?
Outro:
So stand, take a bow, but know you can’t escape
The echo of your choices, they will resonate
In the silence after, when the crowd is gone
You’ll finally face the mirror, and see who’s really wrong.

Song is about influencers who share mass misinformation online and then pretending they never did.
currently the lyrics I have are
"You can't get rid of this, pound for pound, top tier shame
Spewed lies like, like lies don't die, inscribed by your own hands"
Idles, the blood brothers, coheed and cambria
