When Everything Fights for Your Attention
The world never shuts up. Advertisements tell you what to buy. Social media tells you how to think. Strangers argue about things you don’t even care about. Somewhere in all this chaos, your own thoughts get drowned out.
“Too Loud” is about that feeling—the moment when you realize you don’t even know which opinions are yours anymore. It’s not just about sound; it’s about mental overload. Every voice competes for space in your head, and before you know it, there’s no room left for yourself.
This track is part of Virgin Mind, an album about a mind before the world fills it with noise. In the beginning, everything is clear. But then the pressure starts—fit in, follow the rules, be like everyone else. The song moves between quiet reflection and bursts of frustration, just like the way thoughts build up until they finally explode.
At some point, you just want silence. But in today’s world, is that even possible?
Lyrics
Wake up… the noise won’t end,
Voices pushing, twist and bend.
Buy this. Be that.
Talk like them, don’t fall back.
Every screen, every call,
Every trend, every wall,
I don’t know me at all...
(it’s too loud… too loud...)
Cover my ears, shut my eyes,
But the noise just multiplies!
Screaming out but lost inside,
Make it stop — it's too loud!
(Too loud! Too loud! Too loud!)
Scroll down… click again.
Everyone screams, no one listens.
Truth bends, fades away.
Drown in waves of what they say.
Every post, every fight,
Every word, every lie,
I don’t know me at all—
(it’s too loud… too loud...)
Cover my ears, shut my eyes,
But the noise just multiplies!
Screaming out but lost inside,
Make it stop—it's too loud!
(Too loud! Too loud!)
Talk like this, walk like that,
Fit the box, don’t talk back.
Fake news, fake love—
WHICH ONE’S REAL?!
I’VE HAD ENOUGH!!!
Silence… just a fantasy.
Will I ever just be me?
Or is this the way it’s meant to be?
Too loud… too loud…
***
Will I ever just be me?
Or is this the way it’s meant to be?
Too loud… too loud…
