All My Friends Live on the Internet

Scoobert Doobert · KŌAN · 2022 · From KŌAN

Platonic love for the group chat: best friends you might never meet IRL, and a wifi router you have to slap to keep them in frame.

Track twenty on KŌAN, KŌAN C closer energy, also a standalone single with video.

The hook is a contradiction the song keeps on purpose: all my friends live on the internet, but there’s nothing virtual about you. The relationships are real, the geography isn’t. Would you be mad if I said I never really wanna meet ya in-person isn’t antisocial; it’s the fear that flesh would kill the vibe you already have. You’re probably my best friend while my mom thinks I’m pathetic / I think she’s getting old.

Then infrastructure as comedy: Wi-Fi down, DSP throttling, slap the router, neighbor’s password is Secret123. Lucky me. A platonic love song for people who only exist as voice and memes and late-night co-op, and it treats that as worth celebrating. Pairs with 5G BABY (always-on pocket love) and 4:20 pm (shared lonely rock). KŌAN C cluster with Who Am I Really Fooling Anyway, 無門関, What Makes You You.

Lyrics
All my friends live on the internet
Oo
All my friends live on the internet
Oo

Come on

Would you be mad
If I said
I never really wanna meet ya
In-person like
Wouldn't that kill
The vibe we got?

Would you be sad
If I said
You're probably my best friend
My mom
Thinks I'm pathetic
I think she's getting old

All my friends live on the internet
Oo
All my friends live on the internet
Oo
There's nothing virtual about you
All my friends live on the internet
Oo

Come on

Are you free to talk right now?
There's no one in this town that gets me
Maybe you and I
Could kill some aliens
And laugh it off?

Would you be glad
If I said
I'm never ever
Gonna ghost ya
Can ya hear me?
No.
Hold up
I am frozen

My Wi-Fi's down again
How am I supposed
To see my friends
When DSPs be throttling
No cap
I slap my Wi-Fi router
But notice that my neighbor
Set his password to
Secret123
Lucky me

All my friends live on the internet
Oo
All my friends live on the internet
Oo
There's nothing virtual about you
All my friends live on the internet
Oo

Yeah
