Lyrics

Phone lights up at three AM
Another viral clip to chase
Sud Buds messaging my DMs
Thinking grooming's just a game

Seventeen and starry-eyed they come
Clipper dreams from thirty-second fame
Think my highlights tell the story whole
But the camera never shows the pain

Double-tap disciples
Swipe right for success
Algorithm prophets
Making holy mess

TikTok martyrs burning bright (so bright)
Sacrifice the craft for likes
Trading wisdom for the hype (the hype)
TikTok martyrs pay the price
For fifteen seconds of the light (the light)
TikTok martyrs burning bright

Show them trembling poodle stands
But not the months of practice failed
Lucky Comb becomes a prop
While real technique gets curtailed

Comment section teachers
Thumbs-up validation
Filtered education
Lost in translation

TikTok martyrs burning bright (so bright)
Sacrifice the craft for likes
Trading wisdom for the hype (the hype)
TikTok martyrs pay the price
For fifteen seconds of the light (the light)
TikTok martyrs burning bright

Dolores never had a ring light
But her hands could read a dog's whole soul
Now I'm teaching through a screen
Losing what I meant to show

TikTok martyrs burning bright (burning bright)
Sacrifice the craft for likes (for likes)
Trading wisdom for the hype (for the hype)
TikTok martyrs pay the price (pay the price)
But maybe in this neon light (neon light)
Some real love still survives (still survives)
TikTok martyrs burning bright (so bright)
Teaching through the digital night

Phone goes dark
But the learning never stops
