About TSLAMP

“TSLAMP” is an ode to how cellphones have detrimentally affected the way the human race interacts with each other. An average person spends five hours staring at their phone screen per day, and scientists have shown that many people suffer from phone addiction and develop anxiety if they don’t check their phone frequently enough. The song’s title “TSLAMP” is an acronym for the line Andrew keeps repeating in the verses: “Time spent looking at my phone“ .

TSLAMP Lyrics

[00:31.94]On my phone
[00:35.31]
[00:44.49]Time spent sitting all alone
[00:47.24]Time spent looking at my phone
[00:49.91]Time spent sitting all alone
[00:52.79]Time spent looking at my phone
[00:55.25]I try to pull the curtains back
[00:58.22]Turn you off, but can't detach
[01:00.72]When all I want and all I know
[01:03.64]Is time spent looking at my phone
[01:08.30]
[01:16.18](On my phone)
[01:17.45]Find me when the lights go down
[01:20.28]Signing in and signing out
[01:23.14]Gods descend to take me home
[01:25.74]And find me staring at my phone
[01:28.29]I'm wondering where the hours went
[01:31.49]As I'm losing consciousness
[01:33.75]My sullen face is all aglow
[01:36.84]Time spent looking at my phone
[01:39.61]Last thing that you need
[01:41.83]Is the new shiny feature
[01:44.56]All the memories you've shared
[01:47.55]Devoured by perverted creatures
[01:50.75]Nothing can compete
[01:52.80]With the first time you saw her
[01:55.56]Passing strangers on the street
[01:58.20]Spending every moment looking at their phones
[02:04.05]
[02:11.69](On my phone)
[02:12.76]Time spent sitting all alone
[02:15.58]Time spent looking at my phone
[02:18.27]Time spent sitting all alone
[02:20.92]Time spent looking at my phone
[02:23.52]I call you, you don't call me back
[02:26.57]Almost had a heart attack
[02:29.06]I'm listening to the window moan
[02:32.04]Time spent looking at my phone
[02:34.76]Clouds are getting full
[02:36.91]So you close all the windows
[02:39.66]I would never let you die
[02:42.58]Even if our love is ornamental
[02:45.96]You know what you need
[02:48.05]Is a way to remember
[02:50.73]You can never find the time
[02:53.34]If you spend everyday looking at your phone
[02:59.04]
[03:18.90]You should come with me
[03:21.08]We can lose ourselves in nothing
[03:23.84]Copy faces from the feed
[03:26.69]And then try to turn them into something
[03:30.03]Even if you choose to believe that it's ending
[03:34.78]You'll come back to me again
[03:37.61]You can go ahead and stop pretending
[03:40.96]Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo...
[04:21.45]
