Elsker når sange både taler til mig melodisk men også når teksten er lige i skabet imens budskabet gør mig rørt over, hvorfor vi ikke lytter mere til os selv og vores ironiske handlinger. Du tiltrækker det du giver ud og hvis det er fake, så får du også fake mennesker i dit liv. Det er genialt at Christopher, selv synger sådan en sang og med noget ærlighed, især når hans målgruppe mange gange er præcis de unge piger og fyre, som netop prøver at stræbe efter at leve et fake liv på overfladen men inderst inde er følsomme og deprimerede, over ikke at se sig selv som værende god nok!
Nok om det – her er teksten og akkorderne til sangen.

[Intro] x2
Bm A G D
[Vers 1]
Bm A
I'm still smoking 'cause I read somewhere
G D
If I quit before I'm twenty-six
Bm A
I'll be fine so I'm lying to myself
G D
While I light another cigarette
Bm A
I'm addicted to my phone
G D
Getting anxious every time that it's out of reach
Bm A
I lie awake, screen right up in my face
G D
And I wonder why I can't sleep
[Omkvæd 1]
Bm A G D
Oh, can't you see the irony?
Bm A G D
Oh, can't you see the irony?
[Omkvæd 2]
Bm A
I saw these awful things in a documentary
G D
Decided I would stop eating meat
Bm A
To save the planet 'til I was like "damn it"
G D
I didn't even last a week
Bm A
So pretty perfect on the surface, but the truth is
G D
I don't wanna be that guy
Bm A
But I got a script, better stick to it
G D
My label's telling me I gotta lie
[Omkvæd 2]
Bm A G D
Oh, can't you see the irony?
Bm A G D
Oh, can't you see the irony?
Bm A
And nobody's perfect under the surface
G D
They'll never see that side of me
Bm A F#m G D Dsus4 D
Oh, can't you see the irony?
[Vers 3]
Bm A
I just got a new tattoo, I'm embarrassed
G D
'Cause I didn't even tell my own mom
Bm A
So every time I'm home visiting my parents
G D
I always keep my sweater on
Bm A
I don't care if it's the truth or not
G D
All I care about is gettin' likes
Bm A
Reading the comments like everybody's honest
G D
While they're cheering for my fake life
[Omkvæd 2]
Bm A G D
Oh, can't you see the irony?
Bm A G D Dsus4 D
Oh, can't you see the irony?

And nobody's perfect under the surface
G D
They'll never see that side of me
Bm A F#m G D Dsus4 D
Oh, can't you see the irony?
[Bro]
Bm A
'Cause I'm only human after all
G D
Put a filter on and it make it look natural
Bm A
'Cause I'm only human after all
G D
Put a filter on and it make it look natural
Bm A G D
Can't you see the irony?
Bm A G D
Oh, can't you see the irony?
[Omkvæd 3]
Bm A G D
Oh, can't you see the irony?
Bm A G D
Oh, can't you see the irony?

And nobody's perfect under the surface

But everybody's tryna be

Can't you see the irony?

Oh, can't you see the irony?
