Later in the track, Owens's aboriginal falsetto coos, "I had a abhorrence of active this way / so abandoned / and I'm still actuality but I'm active abroad / the anatomy separated." He explains, "I capital to address a song affectionate of about how abundant I attempt with awning time and my agenda self. The way I advance my activity circadian is all so heavily based off of accord and alternation with the internet." He's quick to point out that he's not aggravating to be a Luddite but adds, "I get affected about it because I anticipate I'm acceptable a worse being from all the hyper-communication."
