About This Song


I wrote this song as a way of exploring and expressing my uneasy relationship with social media and its skewed, overly positive and optimistic portrayals of human people.

Feedback Requested


What do you think of the tune? Too obscure lyrically?

The New Unreal

Written by Jeremy Shere


THE NEW UNREAL

Always put your best foot forward
New purple laces on freshly shined shoes
Careful lest you list to starboard
It’s not about actually winning
Just appearing not to lose

Welcome to the new unreal
Throw yourself a bone
Cool unspooling onion peel
Nobody at home
Just another ghostly veil
Dissolving in the wind
Following a vapor trail
Starting over again

Be on your best behavior
Go ahead and humblebrag
Don’t hesitate to curry favor
I’m sure you don’t mean for your good news
To make me feel so sad

Welcome to the new unreal
Throw yourself a bone
Cool unspooling onion peel
Nobody at home
Just another ghostly veil
Dissolving in the wind
Following a vapor trail
Starting over again

Drifting through another day
Staring at the black mirror
Negative reflection of my face
Scarring up a brand new terror
Everybody knows
We got ten fingers and toes
To find our way to the end of the road
