Post Reaction: I honestly do not know what the **** this song is about. It literally sounds like a party, and shes describing it very poorly.

I just read the lyrics and it's actually the first Katy Perry lyrics that has some kind of real criticism to how we live our lives lol. I think it touches on the social media issue more successfully than Perfect Illusion.

[Verse 1]
Are we crazy
Living our lives through a lense?
Trapped in our white picket fence
Like ornaments
Is it comfortable, we live in a bubble, a bubble
Is it comfortable, we can’t see the trouble, the trouble
Are you lonely?
Trapped up there in utopia
When I see my life will be enough
Like ornaments
So comfortable, we live in a bubble, a bubble
So comfortable, we can’t see the trouble, the trouble

[Pre-Chorus]
Aha, look so good
So put your rose colored glasses on, and party on

[Chorus]
Turn it up, it's your favorite song
Dance, dance, dance to the distortion
If you feel like turnin' up, keep it on repeat
Stumbling around like a wasted song
Me? Yeah, we think we're free
Drink, this one is on me
We're all chained to the rhythm, to the rhythm, to the rhythm

Turn it up, it's your favorite song
Dance, dance, dance to the distortion
If you feel like turnin' up, keep it on repeat
Stumbling around like a wasted song
Me? Yeah, we think we're free
Drink, this one is on me
We're all chained to the rhythm, to the rhythm, to the rhythm

[Verse 2]
Are we tone deaf
Keep sweeping it under the map
Thought we can do better than that
I hope we can
So comfortable, we live in a bubble, a bubble
So comfortable, we can’t see the trouble, the trouble

[Pre-Chorus]
Aha, look so good (so good)
So put your rose colored glasses on, and party on

[Chorus]
Turn it up, it's your favorite song
Dance, dance, dance to the distortion
If you feel like turnin' up, keep it on repeat
Stumbling around like a wasted song
Me? Yeah, we think we're free
Drink, this one is on me
We're all chained to the rhythm, to the rhythm, to the rhythm

Turn it up, it's your favorite song
Dance, dance, dance to the distortion
If you feel like turnin' up, keep it on repeat
Stumbling around like a wasted song
Me? Yeah, we think we're free
Drink, this one is on me
We're all chained to the rhythm, to the rhythm, to the rhythm

[Verse 3: Skip Marley]
It is my desire
Break down the walls
To connect, inspire, yeah
Up in the high
Time is ticking for the empire
The truth is that it is feeble
I saw it many times before
The greed of all the people
We're stumbling, were crumbling
We woke up, we woke up the lions

[Chorus]
Turn it up, it's your favorite song
Dance, dance, dance to the distortion
If you feel like turnin' up, keep it on repeat
Stumbling around like a wasted song
Me? Yeah, we think we're free
Drink, this one is on me
We're all chained to the rhythm, to the rhythm, to the rhythm

[Outro]
Turn it up
Turn it up
On and on and on
On and on and on
'Cause we're all chained to the rhythm

I can't at the Kats trying to pass this off as a subtle political anthem :rip: 

Take a moment to think of just flexibility, love, and trust~

The chorus and instrumental are good, the verses and feature suck

Wai, so she is attempting to critique on how the radio sounds like the same, and how everyone is kind of fake w/ social media? "Living in a bubble", "Its your favorite song", "Chained to". Its kinda funny that shes critiquing the radio and social media when she is a product of both, having nothing original or good the past few years except Rise.
