girl in the corner stirring her soda biting the shit out of her straw ready to go out only her body tells her no pretty but sad inside isn't she beautiful queen of the ball even when she's home alone and she said I'm not here for love tonight the way you touch just don't feel right used to feeling things so cold minimizing windows pictures lit by electric lights fiction/fact boundaries collide find me in my palm so bright Cyber Stockholm Syndrome * came here on my own party on my phone came here on my own but I start to feel alone better late than never so I'll be alright happiest whenever I'm with you online better together ever the overrated touch I am connected I am the girl you want to watch lips full of glitter glow spinning like mirror balls phone in a strobe stuck in a crazy cyber world and she said I'm not here for love tonight the way you touch just don't feel right used to feeling things so cold Cyber Stockholm Syndrome * repeat in my 4 x 3 they can't get to me free to roam all over my cyber fantasy better late than never but I am alright happiest whenever I'm with you online now you see her flying high speed 'cross the distant galaxy candy cane your heart out burn bright don't burn out * repeat

I feel bad for the people who only listened to “SAWAYAMA” and are missing out on this amazing EP.

[@avetiq3905]

Yeah but I have to say thank God I found her because of SAWAYAMA. Now I have RINA & SAWAYAMA

[@bananaman3981]

@Ash Witherton True... and it DEEPLY HURTSS saying that because SAWAYAMA is literally in my DNA. I LOVE that album. But this EP has no underwhelming or mundane songs, clean and pristine mixing, absolutely impeccable production, and the overall aesthetic is very enjoyable. So this EP is better, although with only a slight margin.

[@bananaman3981]

@@avetiq3905 True. The many album reactions to SAWAYAMA brought me to Rina's queendom and I'm thankful for that.

alot of this album was produced by clarence clarity, a obscenely talented yet underrated artist. Although his typical style is more left field than this, it's still so so catchy.

She deserves better

[@HejSofia]

wow this sounds like something from 1999-2000 (in a good way!)

[@Mmmmagu]

like early Utada Hikaru type of music but so modern :D

[@neoshenlong]

It really makes me think of the kind of music NSYNC or Backstreet Boys made back in the day, but with modern sounds.

[@notalkmeimangyy]

Early 2000's R&B vibe!!

like UtadaHikaru song.

[@ew8550]

HAPPIEST WHENEVER I'M WITH YOU ONLINE

[@progamer9856]

I remember listening to Rina during my Senior High School days, walking at the break of dawn to my school, which was in the city. I was alone during those days, afraid that I will get mugged, killed, and forever forgotten, but whenever this song started blasting on my cheap and old earphones- everything felt like I was traveling through a rainbow sent from the future. The corporate buildings and fading lights of the street lamps became my disco ball, as I walk past people who were unfortunate enough to sleep on the streets. This song was like a filter for almost 4 minutes that I can see the world through, that tells me everything isn't that bad with the right soundtrack. This song was like the warm embrace of a friend that I didn't know I had, at that time, an underground pop artist, but by some parasocial-modern age miracle, I connected with this song to a level- I didn't know I can experience. Thank you Rina and Clarence for making such a wonderful song and EP.

[@TanJRHeaux]

I really like this. You should write more, or post poetry : )

[@progamer9856]

@@TanJRHeaux Aww!! Thank you for this positive reply! I hope you have a wonderful day :D

[@blueinkheart]

The lyrics of this song are so real to the average 21st century young adult.

[@luckyshow98]

The piano at the beginning is iconic and I don't use that world flippantly. It's like we're all boarding on a sonic adventure. Sit tight...

[@addisonmosley7472]

this song shocked my damn soul. oh my god. im typing this from the grave. lord.

One of the best pop song ever made

[@vip5hawol-deehirota]

*This might **_always_** be my absolute favorite track from her*

[@animalfinatic9366]

There's no word to describe how spectacular she is.

[@thecosmicblueautie]

The irony that I am listening to this on my phone isn't lost on me.

[@taylozen]

the delayed drop at 2:26 grabbed me by the soul, yanked me out of my body, and tossed me 256ft into the sky

[@Soulmaka2]

Literally one of the best songs from the 2010s

[@reina5591]

i hate anyone who had this song flopping. this right here has been my favorite rina song ever since the first listen and still is. perfect from the start to the finish.

[@sophietoth6731]

this is my favorite rina song... it feels otherworldly

[@selenesaint]

till this day her ep & this exact song remain thee best work she has ever put out. there's a few tracks on her albums, but nothing will EVER top this ep. she was able to merge so many genres into one little project, the lyricism, the visuals, even the concept. it's insane how her artistry was so ahead of its time. i consider this her peak & it is very high. i understand why she can't top it

[@princessshel909]

WHY is she not famous yet!? She’s like my little secret but at the same time people are sleeping on herrrr 🌸

[@darknesstheboss9265]

I know right. She only has around 270,000 follower on Spotify and only gets around 1,700,086 monthly listeners. She’s starting to get recognised more now from people like Elton John, so I’m expecting her to blow up between the end of 2020 and start of 2021 :)

[@evandersolis5528]

X Darkness I hope so, her work is amazing and deserves to be recognized by more people

[@mimilovejoy3978]

@@Momocatluv yeah I agree I get Utada vibe

[@tokunagaster]

Utada is the daughter of the Legend singer Keiko Fuji in the Showa period in Japan. She has the smokiest female voice of all. I knew she was pretty, too. Respected humans who influenced this young talent in the US.

she's mariah's british-japanese musical daughter. Reminds me of Kelela who is Janet Jackson and Amel Larrieux 's musical daughter. I'm gonna be a huge fan of this girl. I love her songs, so emotional and her voice and the production is perfect. Basically like the early 2000s mixed with tumblr and modern sound too.

[@anniecreates]

this song is- so deep.. I don’t really even understand it that well?? I think it’s being trapped in the world of technology? it sounds absolutely amazing but can someone decode the lyrics or smth send help thanks

[@mehdimehdi7073]

yes.

[@mehdimehdi7073]

but more so being trapped in the constant dopamine hits you get from consuming whatever content "online" provides?

[@TanJRHeaux]

It's about a number of things! I believe she said that whole EP was about internet culture, and grappling with the problems of social media. One of the things its about is being addicted to your phone/the internet/social media spaces, and feeling lonelier all the while. You're surrounded by people, you're at "parties" online... but they're not really there at all. Another is wanting to go out, but your social battery is drained or you feel too introverted, so your brain holds you back. These are some of my interpretations, and there are more, but I don't wanna force mine on you :)

[@jodijodijodi]

i’ve always interpreted it as being about parasocial relationships

[@santiagogrgr]

You never disappoint !!! This is so Good !!! 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
