You're lost with no phone
And the home you made your own
Can never be paid for
The great in the small, the rise and the fall
And you come back for more
The need to belong
And the will to do no wrong
The ones that you lost, abandoned or crossed
Will haunt you
Plagued by poor health
But you stockpile more wealth
Congratulate yourself
A sense of proportion, an act of extortion
There's too much distortion
You sink in stages
As you're approaching middle ages
You're up to here in debt
Insidious tech, you're up to your neck
Why don't you give it a rest?

It seems I'm miles above the surface of the earth
I can see across the whole of London and beyond
Ships and thunderstorms at sea and beyond
A trillion stars in a billion galaxies
I gaze out across the millennia
it took the lights from these stars to reach the earth
I close my eyes
And breathe
I came here searching for something
But I don't remember what that thing is anymore
Did I dream you?
Or are you dreaming me now?
As your waking thoughts gradually take over
As all dreams are ultimately forgotten
And lost

You're lost with no phone
Sei perso senza telefono
And the home you made your own

Can never be paid for
Non potrà mai essere pagata
The great in the small, the rise and the fall
Il grande nel piccolo, l'ascesa e la caduta
And you come back for more
E torni per avere di più
The need to belong
Il bisogno di appartenere
And the will to do no wrong
E la volontà di non fare del male
The ones that you lost, abandoned or crossed
Quelli che hai perso, abbandonato o tradito
Will haunt you
Ti perseguitano
Plagued by poor health
Afflitto da una cattiva salute
But you stockpile more wealth
Ma accumuli più ricchezza
Congratulate yourself
Ti congratuli con te stesso
A sense of proportion, an act of extortion
Un senso di proporzione, un atto di estorsione
There's too much distortion
C'è troppa distorsione

Mentre ti avvicini alla mezza età
You're up to here in debt
Sei sommerso dai debiti
Insidious tech, you're up to your neck
Tecnologia insidiosa, sei fino al collo
Why don't you give it a rest?
Perché non ti prendi una pausa?
