Noise

fifth video release from playing with power

Noise was written during a time when BRE was struggling with the demands of social media. As an artist, it's expected that you are active on so many different platforms, no matter the effect on your mental health. This song is about being unwilling to consume or contribute to the noise in our culture.

Noise lyrics

Silence is the enemy

So we fill it up, lie and bluff online

Hoping our friends see how happy we are

Can’t spend time alone

It makes us think, and then we drink to

 

Numb reality, we build a fantasy

And live through the screen with

 

Noise,

I don’t want to add to all the noise

All the sad girls and angry boys

I just wanna live without all of this noise

I don’t wanna feel like it’s a choice

Screaming or losing my voice

I just wanna live without

All of this noise

This noise

Addicted to the scroll

We gotta see who we wanna be to find

Some kind of happiness

Nothing is enough

We add to the feed

Show the best of us so the rest of us

 

Can look up to our lives

And the image that we try

To pretend like that’s all there is

 

Noise,

I don’t want to add to all the noise

All the sad girls and angry boys

I just wanna live without all of this noise

I don’t wanna feel like it’s a choice

Screaming or losing my voice

I just wanna live without

All of this noise

This noise
