"Always On" ist eine müde Synth-Pop-Ballade aus der Perspektive eines Arztes. Basierend auf einer realen klinischen Beobachtung—ein Drittel der Patienten klagt über Erschöpfung "wie nie zuvor", ohne körperliche Ursache, viele davon jung—diagnostiziert sie eine Krankheit ohne Namen: digitalen Burnout. Der Song fängt den permanenten Stress des Antworten-Müssens ein, die Angst vor digitaler Bloßstellung und das Nicht-Vergessen des Internets. Das einzige Rezept des Arztes: Stille. Doch das Handy glüht weiter in ihrer Brust.
They come to me, one third of them all
Tired like never before, ready to fall
Young faces, old eyes, no cause to find
The body is healthy, it's the soul left behind
Blood tests clean, heart is fine
But they're running on an empty line
What can I do, what can I say?
The diagnosis has no name today
Digital burnout, burning slow
Always online, nowhere to go
Afraid to answer, afraid to miss
A life lived in a state of stress
One wrong word, one bad photo frame
The internet keeps it, remembers the name
A rumor that never will fade away
They carry it with them, day after day
They grew up tired
They grew up watched
Every move recorded
Every step is clocked
So I listen, because that's all I can
Not the body this time, but the human
Prescribe some silence, prescribe some rest
But the phone still glows in their chest
Digital burnout, burning slow
Always online, nowhere to go
Afraid to answer, afraid to miss...
Always online...
Always online...
One third of them all...
One third of them all...
