Hologram 03:38
Verse One: Oh I fell in love with a hologram And it gave me what I need A certain sense of comfort I was finally seen Found God in the digital A religion on the screen Uploading, the answer I just know I could… Bridge: Feel it now, so don't let it die You need it now, so you must try Why deny? (oh) Hook: Work, to the hologram, to the hologram Slave, to the hologram, to the hologram Yearn, for the hologram, for the hologram Do it, for the hologram, for the hologram Verse Two: There was a glitch in the hologram The reception wasn’t clear Trapped in a black mirror Couldn’t face all my fears Unplugged from the digital Face to face with just me A follower has to follow I no longer could… Bridge Hook Outro: You’re placing all your bets on the highest stakes What happens when you lose? What’s there to take? A brick in the factory, a worker in the hive What’s keeping you going? What’s keeping you a live? A sense of emptiness that you can’t escape A dose of affirmation to get thru the day A shock to the system, a cog in the machine But to use your own voice? Hook (x2)

One Dot 03:28
Intro: One dot in the mix, doesn't really fix, anything One shot in the dark, leaves the whole world, blind Verse One: Working for the man now It makes the money but it don’t make sense Getting paid in excuses All you wanted to taste was success Just keep climbing up the ladder Eyes on you with your eyes on the prize You’re just a pawn in the game, now You’ll never make it out alive Bridge: Yeah, we've been to the top of the mountain And there's really nothing to see Tables with seats, nobody eats, clearly Hook: One dot in the mix, doesn't really fix, anything One shot in the dark, leaves the whole world, blind Loose the game, and get played, like a token One dot in the mix? Please don't waste my time Verse Two: Punching the clock, now Twice as hard to be seen just as good The machine ain’t friendly Spits you out and you feel used You thought it was about the work? But it’s not about that, no Don’t step outta line Everybody just wants a good time Bridge Hook Outro: Pay me what you owe me But you ain’t got nothing for me I run races, earn places, but you get to keep the trophy Not a pawn or a pundit I got dreams, you can fund it I turn maybe’s to yes’s No guesses, you know I run it Bridge Hook x2

Verse One: Pull up to the party Pulling up with Charli XCX, I’m next up Catch that glow up, I’m not sorry Booked up out the month In the city, out of state Got to get these gigs to go Got a lot on my plate Checking off my checklist Cashing all these checkssss Only time you hit me up Is to get on my guest list That behavior’s reckless All my time is precious Ain’t no squares in my circle Catch that angle, exit Fresh out the safari Please go get a hobby Just another, another show, yeah probably I don’t got time for you chickens I stay dodging all you ducks Bc my time is my money Gotta pay me to give a .. Hook: I'm an el-E-phant Hell bent on tearing it up Don’t give a damn, don’t give a fuck Move out my way, cuz I’m on the come up I’m an elephant Hell bent on breaking it down Can’t take my voice, can’t take my sound You know my name, cause it’s all around town Verse Two: ZenSoFly Hook Outro: Keep putting up your defenses I just come thru in your mentions Them labels they be pretentious I just come back with vengeance You got one shot Don’t miss, get up out the way You got a lot of mouth But you don’t go much to say Just admit that you can’t compete Say you staying facts, show me the CVS reciepts I’m TAYLOR ALXNDR, that’s my name wear it out Elephant in the room, and that taste in your mouth Hook x2

Log Off! 01:41
Verse One: Problems But you dunno how to solve them Ignore the signs but you’ve questions Have you ever learned a lesson? Take a second to think, because you Think it breathe it live it post it. It's not real unless you show it Broadcast it on your screen Everyone’s caught up trying to live that dream Hook: You need to Log Off Disconnect Take some time to self-reflect Verse Two Log on engage Drop out Group shame Retweet update New post Play game Clickbait clockout Reblog get clout Fake news real fear Followers disappear Hook x2

Signal 03:24
Verse One: How do you feel about me? Tell me the truth and I Will take it as your word, this time My words, my thoughts, my feelings Got lost in translation Tell me you understand Hook: Tell me can you hear me Through the static? Are you listening? I think that we’re breaking up Did I fuck it up? Did I say too much? I guess my signal got lost, oh Verse Two: Make me into your dream Someone that you admire Don’t say that I’m just a friend And I know you love him And I hate to say this But I need you Why not give me a try? I promise I’ll be more than enough Hook Outro: I’m dancing alone tonight There’s no one here by my side Come give me another try I promise I’ll make it right

Feel It All 04:53
Verse One: Hands on the wheel again Needa take control this time No room to play pretend Livin life outside the white lines Bridge One: Cause I always start on the wrong foot Losing my grip Hollow like a cyclone, now I want to feel the impact when it hits I want to say I did it Hook: Because I want to feel it all Don’t be the last one to, the one that missed out Because I’ve got to feel it all Don’t wanna be the last one to get the call I wanna feel it all Verse Two: Night time comes again Tryna get high off the thrill There’s more to the dangerous A mirror reflecting what is real Bridge Two: Cause I wanna feel the pressure and the bite Wanna draw blood I wanna see what I’ve done Can’t forget the things you never try I want to take that jump… Hook Outro: Gotta feel the lows, gotta feel the highs, but, I’ll give it time, I’ll give it time Foot on the gas, can’t outrun the past, but I’ll give it time, I’ll give it time Hook

about

Hologram is the debut full-length by TAYLOR ALXNDR.

"Hologram is about communication - how we communicate to each other, how we use social media to communicate who we think we are to the world, how we communicate with ourselves. Are the messages we’re putting out being received? I started this album when I was completely exhausted by social media (I still am), when I was having trouble connecting to friends, lovers, and to myself. Hologram is a question more than a answer. A lot of the songs are written with a smirk, because as much as I’m questioning the world around me, I’m also questioning myself."
