Original Song (C) Oden Eriksson

Detox

Verse 1
I used to glow and call it pride
But lost myself somewhere inside
Chased a feeling through the screen
And traded real for dopamine

They liked my smile so I stayed still
Wrapped my truth in silent will
A perfect frame, a painted lie
I let their echoes shape my sky

Pre-Chorus
I used to think that love was praise
But I’ve been waking up for days
The mirror cracked, I saw it clear
I’ve been the silence they all fear

Chorus
I'm detoxed, breaking the spell
No more illusions left to sell
I'm done pretending for the gram
I broke away from who I am
I'm not the mask they used to frame
I broke the glass, I quit the game
I'm still here
Detoxed and mine to be

Verse 2
I gave away what I believed
For little hearts I hoped would heal
Each post became another chain
Each smile a way to hide the strain

It felt so good, but couldn’t last
The thrill was fake, it faded fast
Love and hate was never real
Just noise designed to make me feel

I felt the pull of quiet wars
Trapped inside their clever chords

Pre-Chorus
I'm scared to speak but I still try
Because I want to feel alive
I shake with truth they can't erase
This voice won't vanish into space

Chorus
I'm detoxed, breaking the spell
No more illusions left to sell
I'm done pretending for the gram
I broke away from who I am
I'm not the mask they used to frame
I broke the glass, I quit the game
I'm still here
Detoxed and mine to be

Bridge
If I shake then let me shake
At least I know what's real, what's fake
My body breathing back its calm
No longer triggered by their charms
This voice is mine though not so loud
It's more than likes could ever count

Final Chorus 1
I'm detoxed, breaking the spell
No more illusions left to sell
No more hiding, no more shame
I’ve got a voice, I’ve got a name
I'm not the mask they used to frame
I broke the glass, I quit the game
I'm still here
Detoxed and mine to be

Final Chorus 2
I'm detoxed, breaking the spell
No more illusions left to sell
I'm done pretending for the gram
I broke away from who I am
I'm not the mask they used to frame
I broke the glass, I quit the game
I'm still here
Detoxed and mine to be

Final Chorus 3
I'm detoxed, breaking the spell
No more illusions left to sell
No more chains of clever feeds
I'm not a product for their needs
I broke the cage the algorithm built
Stepped outside the frame they filled
I'm still here
Detoxed and mine to be
