《Swiped Away》是一首关于数字约会的合成器流行哀歌,写“几秒钟内做选择”的悖论。在选项无穷的世界里,选对伴侣只是手指一划。歌曲走得更深:一个自称开放多元的社会,却生产出被肤浅刻板印象统治的滑动文化,让年轻的心不安而受伤。最残酷的是:只有好看的脸被选中,美好的头脑、灵魂和心,在几分之一秒内被删除。这样的社会,站在什么价值一边?
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...
