Story behind the song
FOMO is about the paradox of social media: the more connected we appear, the more alone we can feel. Someone scrolls through their friends' curated happiness — shopping, selfies, updates — yet ends up as an "empty sadness cloud", watching everyone else live while sitting alone at home.
Lyrics
I shopped the clothes I want,
I shared it from my phone,
Got them all delivered,
Selfie, got it done.
But why do I then feel,
That I am missing out,
Whilst everyone is happy,
I am a sadness cloud.
An empty sadness cloud.
An empty sadness cloud.
No updates from my friends,
I put my phone away,
To put my life on track,
To simply feel OK.
I risk venturing out,
No updates on the way,
To live the unexpected,
To go and shout out loud.
To go and dance out loud.
To go and live out loud.
I just don't understand,
Why I felt so alone,
Whilst everyone was happy,
I sat alone at home.
I followed all my friends,
I lived their life on screen,
But now I am the one,
Who lives my life again.
Who lives my life again.
Who lives my life again.
