The song sounds alright (giving me NEXT LEVEL album vibes, anyone else?). I need to wait for the actual thing to decide because her live voice is too shrill for me nowadays. In any case, I'm looking forward to the new album!

edit: I can't really catch all the lyrics, but a quick translation of some lines:

Yes, it's definitely lonely by myself
but my freedom was also infinite
As I got more controlled, I understood
that the loneliness won't disappear in any case
They often say honesty doesn't pay
If you believe everything blindly (you're full of shit)

Are you envious of people's happiness?
Do you think you're seeing the whole picture?
Aren't you just deciding based on a screen?
Is that actually real?

[????]
What should you believe?
Life is really difficult for everyone
[????]
We gotta be careful what's fiction


~

I always like these kind of critical lyrics of hers
Thank you so much for that!
My interpretation so far is her criticizing social media, mainly people representing their lives as something happy 24/7, and reminding people to not compare because what they're presenting isn't reality. Love to see it and looking forward to the studio version even more now.
