Cellular Phone

about

It seems that we can't live without Technology these days. It is like an addiction, a needy lover, and an unhealthy relationship. I wanted to turn all that into a fun and light-hearted song for you, to hopefully inspire you to make some changes in your life and get off that phone!

This song was inspired by personal experiences and feelings about Technology. Whether it's feeling jealous when my loved one is on the phone and not giving me the attention, or feeling a sense of lost without my phone, or the constant urge to clear off the red dot notifications, I realize that all of this is so unhealthy yet normalized in our modern world.

I wrote the song from the perspective of the cellular phone being the needy lover and then transition to the actual lover wanting to be the needy cellular phone. It's my shortest original song yet, but it's full of important messages and stimulating sounds for the senses. Get ready for a fun ride down the digital world!

lyrics

When you wake up,
What do you do?
Did you miss me?
When you were asleep?

Quarter past noon,
I’m waiting for you.
Touch me again,
You know you want to.

It’s getting dark,
Time to go home.
Let us unwind,
Scroll me all night.

For hours and hours,
I am here with you.
Forever and ever,
I will stay with you.

I wanna be your cellular phone,
Bring me wherever you go.
Eyes on me,
Hands on me,
Give me your time and energy.

I wanna be your cellular phone,
Take me around the world,
Stay close to me,
Never leave me,
Promise you will never let me go.

Breakfast til lunch.
Moon til the sun.
Tap me all day.
Let the apps run.

Text your bestie.
Take a selfie.
Laugh at a meme.
Send emoji.

Forget the present.
Don’t pay attention.
It’s not important.
Just watch the re-runs.

For hours and hours,
I am here with you.
Forever and ever,
I will stay with you.

I wanna be your cellular phone,
Bring me wherever you go.
Eyes on me,
Hands on me,
Give me your time and energy.

I wanna be your cellular phone,
Take me around the world,
Stay close to me,
Never leave me,
Promise you will never let me go.

I’m tired now, plug me in, I’ll see you in the morning, mwah!
