The song "MySpace" by Eleventyseven is a reflection on the superficiality and lack of genuine connection in the age of social media, specifically highlighting the once-popular platform MySpace. The lyrics start by asking the listener to share information about themselves, their favorite bands, and hobbies, emphasizing the desire to understand someone on a deeper level. However, the speaker notes that even with knowledge about a person's interests, it doesn't necessarily equate to truly knowing them. The chorus expresses the importance of authenticity and integrity in forming genuine connections. The speaker acknowledges that it is wrong to form judgments based solely on what is seen on social media platforms like MySpace, but also admits that it can be challenging to truly understand someone when their online persona is all they reveal. The second verse questions the authenticity of the number of friends a person may have on MySpace. The speaker wonders how many of these friends truly know or care about the individual's well-being. They also criticize the tendency to post fake emotions in blogs instead of being honest. Overall, Eleventyseven's song "MySpace" serves as a commentary on the shallow nature of social media and the need for genuine human connection beyond online platforms.
