Fifteen Minutes of Fame

Bright lights flicker, hashtags trending
Overnight sensation, hearts are pending
(Yesterday's news)
Scroll and swipe, the next big thing
Fleeting glory, on borrowed wings
(Disposable muse)

Fifteen minutes tick away
(Going, going, gone)
Shooting stars that never stay
(Fading with the dawn)
We build 'em up just to tear 'em down
(Hero to zero)
In this game of musical crowns
(Where did our idols go?)

No time to grow, no space to bloom
Instant gratification in every room
(Microwave dreams)
Blink and you'll miss the latest craze
Lost in the ever-changing maze
(Nothing's what it seems)

Fifteen minutes tick away
(Going, going, gone)
Shooting stars that never stay
(Fading with the dawn)
We build 'em up just to tear 'em down
(Hero to zero)
In this game of musical crowns
(Where did our idols go?)

Remember when legends took years to make?
(Patience is a virtue)
Now we're addicted to the quick take
(Instant gratification)
But what if we slowed down, let things breathe?
(Give it time)
Nurture the seeds, watch the forest grow
(Roots run deep)

In the echo chamber of likes and shares
Authenticity becomes so rare
(Who are we really?)
Chasing trends, we lose our way
But true art stands the test of day
(Beyond the binary)

Fifteen minutes tick away
(Going, going, gone)
Shooting stars that never stay
(Fading with the dawn)
We build 'em up just to tear 'em down
(Hero to zero)
In this game of musical crowns
(Where did our idols go?)

In the quiet after the storm
Perhaps we'll find a new norm
(Let it grow)
Where substance triumphs over hype
And fifteen minutes last a lifetime
