NERDCORE SONG | 'Through the Screen' | Freeced | Music Video

All video clips taken from Pixabay except one by me, Freeced.

LYRICS:

At one end of the screen there
Is an avatar, he looks
Calm and self-assured, he won’t be
Bothered by the noise of the TV
In his glasses and sweater
He’s a pale cartoon, he can’t
See beyond the circle that he
Lives in cozily

Hey y’all, it’s me Freeced, I’d like to invite you to a chat
And you can take a seat but you should know it might get kinda wack
Hope you’re fine with that, anyway, I guess I’m kinda new
But I appreciate you taking the time to let me rhyme for you
I hope that I’m not messing up or nothing too severe
I assume it’s clear that I’m inspired by some tunes that I revere
But I hold the fear that I could let my predecessors down a lot
It’s why I come at all my raps with all the passion that I got
And you reciprocate, y’all are nothing but polite
I never seen so many people talk without a fight
You might tell me that I’m great, and while I wouldn’t say the same
I do appreciate the claim that I been tryna play the game
And that flame burns bright but when the feeling is gone
I wonder if I got the chops to even be in a song
Don’t get me wrong, I ain’t complaining, I’mma take the blame instead
Cuz y’all are angels, I’m the main behind the clangor in my head

Somewhere, perched on a keyboard
There is someone else, she’s just
Happy to have found a video
That gives her a reason to laugh
In pajamas she watches
And types out a thought, she can’t
See the power that she has to
Break his heart in half

Seems a little strange that I’m endangering myself
Because I’m anxious for the things that I’m exchanging for my health
If I could help it I would throw it out and sit behind a desk
Instead of tryna write a song and hoping people are impressed
And do I rap fast, nah, fat chance, I lack the stamina
And plus it’s too demanding on me cuz I’m, I’m a stammera’,
Too, ah you should view me when I’m posing for the camera
You’d never be enamored by the candids I’d be handin’ ya
I make it messy when I step on the stage
And even YouTube is a stretch when I’m refreshing the page
And I make it worse because I hang on every word you dispense
I put my worth in comments any random person invents
And sure, it makes sense, I gotta find a way to stay connected
I just wish the medium was any less than way infected
Guess it’s why I hit reply when y’all are being nice
And why I’ll write a thousand songs but only post the ones you like

One day, they will discover
There’s another face, looking
Back across the screen and watching
All those thoughts they happen to display
They’ll recognize themselves in
Every new exchange
Noting all of the emotions sparked by
Each communique

Sometimes, out on the net, our
Thoughts will intertwine, and I’ll
Try to treat yours kindly when they
Tangle up with mine, so that you’ll be
A bit happier than you
Were before we met, cuz I
Know these conversations have just
Barely started yet

This is an original work by me, Freeced. Thanks for listening!

[Freeced]

Hey gang! One of the cats in this video is mine. Can you guess which one?

[Faceplates]

Of course we're polite! You're a dang good rapper and we like listening to you. Therefore it is only logical that we get along. (I'd follow it up with a 'duh' if I hadn't just explained the whole thing.)

[CattyTomfoolery]

I liked because...cats. Is your car the ginger one with the phone?
