«Swiped Away» es un lamento de synth-pop sobre las citas digitales y la paradoja de elegir en segundos. En un mundo de opciones infinitas, escoger a la persona adecuada es un gesto del dedo. Pero la canción va más allá: una sociedad que se llama abierta y diversa produce una cultura del deslizar gobernada por estereotipos superficiales, que deja a los corazones jóvenes inseguros y heridos. Lo más cruel: solo se eligen las caras bonitas; las mentes, almas y corazones bonitos se borran en fracciones de segundo. ¿Qué valores defiende una sociedad así?
Meet you on a screen, six photos and a line
A profile made to sell, a product in design
Two seconds to decide if you're worth a second look
A person turned to pixels in a digital catalog book
Swipe left, swipe right
Still alone tonight
A thousand faces in my hand
And no one understand
Too much choice to ever choose
So we play and always lose
The next one's just a flick away
So the current one can't stay
Abundance turns to emptiness
More is less, and less is less
They say we're open, colorful and free
But here it's just the opposite you see
Stereotypes rule, the surface wins the day
The mind, the soul, the depth — all swiped away
Young hearts left broken, insecure and small
Told they don't fit, or don't fit at all
Wonderful people, nuanced and bright
Wiped out of sight in the pale blue light
We just want to be chosen
Not judged and then frozen
See me, not the frame
Love me, not the game
Swipe left, swipe right...
Still alone tonight...
Swiped away...
Swiped away...
Left... right...
Gone...
