Grunge - Same Old Screen

“Same Old Screen” captures the slow erosion of a life lived almost entirely indoors, where days blur together under the glow of a screen. The song reflects isolation, numbness, and the quiet decay that comes from watching the world instead of participating in it. It speaks to the comfort that turns into a cage, the safety that becomes stagnation, and the feeling of being awake but absent. A portrait of modern disconnection, where time passes, the body fades, and existence is reduced to pixels, repetition, and silence.

Lyrics

A cough in the silence
Dust in the light
Another day loading
Same room, same night

Four steps to nowhere,
Bare feet on the floor
I don’t feel my body
Like I did before

But the quiet hums
Like a disease
This room keeps talking
When it breathes

Same old screeeeen
Same old screeeeen
Burning holes into me

Same old screeeeen
Same old screeeeen
Watching life leave

Same old screeeeen
Same old screeeeen
I don’t move, I don’t feel
Same old screeeeen

The kitchen feels farther
Than it should be
Like crossing an ocean
Inside of me

I’m safe, I’m quiet
I don’t make a sound
Buried above dirt
Not under the ground

Same old screeeeen
Same old screeeeen
Static breathing in

Same old screeeeen
Same old screeeeen
Letting nothing in

Same old screeeeen
Same old screeeeen
I’m awake but unseen
Same old screeeeen

Monday… Tuesday…
No real shape
Breathing pixels
In a rented space

The walls lean closer
I fold, I shrink
I lose my edges
In the hum and blink

SAME OLD SCREEEEEEN
SAME OLD SCREEEEEEN
TAKE YOUR LIGHT OFF ME

SAME OLD SCREEEEEEN
SAME OLD SCREEEEEEN
LET ME BLEED

SAME OLD SCREEEEEEN
SAME OLD SCREEEEEEN
I’M STILL HERE
BUT I’M NOWHERE
SAME OLD SCREEEEEEN

Numb in the glow…
Same old screeeeen…

Eyes locked shut
Don’t make me go outside
