Lyrics and Ruben's explanation of the song below:
Aurora Borealis, me for her for real it’s lust
The love can’t be heard above
Everyone acts like a day drinker (yeah)
We eat crickets
In the future
Just tastes like
“Far-from-home”
Drink Chicha
In the Jungle
That sounds great
Im kinda busy, could you call back again?
Im sure you’ll come back
Til then I
Can’t keep checking my phone (no)
We read the universe might be holographic
Traffic lights might reverse my love
Go ahead and traverse the winter (yeah)
We eat crickets
In the future
Just tastes like
“Far-from-home”
Drink Chicha
In the Jungle
That sounds great
Im kinda busy, could you call back again?
Im sure you’ll come back
Til then I
Can’t keep checking my phone (no)
Ruben:
"Cant Keep Checking My Phone is about missing somebody and that point where you refuse to accept online “connectivity” as a substitute for being with someone IRL. When someone you love turns into text and ideas delivered through a device, at some point they’re competing with real things like the aurora borealis, which is another thing that only really makes sense in the flesh. I also read somewhere that the universe might be holographic, and in that case maybe the distance between us is just an illusion. So do you fall in love with the idea of someone? Or the chemicals they give off in person? Either way, I’ve got to get off my phone."
