David Dilin - Picture Generation [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1: David Dilin]

I remember back when pictures didn't matter
I could write a thousand words
Now I all I picture is pictures
Taking over nouns and verbs
If flicks turn into sentences
We're finished as a human race
We'll just look back at polaroids
To chat about the youthful days
Back when we used to write about
What we went through that day
Back when we used to say
Anything at all
Now all we uh, uh, utter are just stutters
And we slip on words like butter
Cause our brains don't have no words they can recall
If pics are worth a thousand words
Then why aren't we all writers?
We just take flicks with cameras
And write on where the white is
What the date and time is
And all that's left is memories
That one day we'd remember
If we took time to describe it
Then if we meet writers
We can shake hands with date stamps
And hope they took a picture
With the artificial man
You can post on instagram
For your artificial fam
And they'll reply with pictures
Cause they're not people, they're webcams

[Verse 2: David Dilin]

The picture generation is taking over
Slouching behind computer screens
We're losing our composure
Being driven by images depicting which is which
And it's easy cause it's the media
We hired as our chauffeur
Quick to put your face on instagram of vacation
Problems you can't face so you miss the ramifications
A like is quick to bring you your instant gratification
Twenty-five minutes of fame will be the reason
You pop a blood vessel for heart throb
Privacy's taken, you awake and your heart drops
See your face lacing an ad on hot cardstock
They own you
Take a good look at consequences thrust upon you
Take a proper gander at the propaganda
'fore you hand your life to good lawyers and their proper grammar
Stop to grab a breath to blow on the big picture
They're generating you
It all start with a thousand words on paper

[Outro: Grayson]

Researchers from Harvard University
Recently found that many people now use the internet
In place of a memory. They claim that when someone
Wants to know something, they now use the internet
As an external memory, just as computers use an external drive
The study continued that we are now so reliant
On smart phones and laptops, we go into withdrawal
When we can't find out something immediately

This is the Picture Generation
