Modern Saints Song Release
Modern Saints by Tovan: An Ode to the People of Cyberspace
Starting the first Friday in July, Dimulti Music, as a hip hop producer, released its fifth single, Modern Saints by Tovan Alldino.
Tovan, as a Co-Founder of Dimulti Music, still consistently releases singles every week. Modern Saints by Tovan starts the first week of July. Previously, since the beginning of June, there have been four singles released, namely Swim in the Dark, Midnight Drive, Ego Dance, and Read Me Wrong.
Still bleak, Modern Saints by Tovan is like a reflection in broad daylight, on a Friday sermon with the theme of “seeing people online”.
The song is like an ode to the people who are immersed in cyberspace while doing things they don't realize they are doing.
Modern Saints by Tovan gives us a reflection on what it means to be human in a time where truth becomes a trend, pain becomes money, and having followers seems like a goal.
Through Modern Saints, Tovan provides a mirror for us to reflect on how we live today in an impermanent digital world.
If you are at 3 am each morning in front of a screen and see how people's lives are wrapped in pleasures, and you can only daydream in a room full of emptiness, listen to this song!
It's not a judgment, as Tovan says he's experienced the same thing, being lost in cyberspace. "I'm not judging, because I've been there too. Caught between praying with my thumb and trying to hear God through the silence," Tovan said in his writing.
“God, did You see us when we lied? / God, did You watch when we just scrolled by? / God, did You cry when we sold our pain? / God, were You there when we called it fame?“
“God, do You hear through this digital rain? / God, did You fade when we traded Your name? / God, are we lost or just tryna survive? / God, are we dead or just stuck alive?“
These are two fragments of Modern Saints song lyrics by Tovan at the end of the song that conclude Tovan's short sermon on Friday.
According to Tovan, the lines are a cry from the midst of noise, digital rain is a constant stream, notifications, messages, content, noise on top of noise, and he tried to ask God.
"And I wonder, can God hear us through all that noise? Or do we lose Him when we start using His name for influence, for image, for empty rituals?" Tovan revealed with a question.
So, if you feel like you're drifting in a digital storm, rest assured, you're not alone. Let's celebrate by listening to Modern Saints by Tovan.
Modern Saints Song Lyrics by Tovan
Dream of heaven
But we keep paintin’ hell with neon
We some gods in disguise
Trapped in code
And we reply we rely on
Lotta noises, no voices
Build a net to feel close
Now we scrollin’ past souls
We just preachin’ truth in a suit
But sleepin’ with doubts under covers
Who knows, who knows, who knows, who knows
Who knows, who knows, who knows, who knows
Build a net to feel close
Now we scrollin’ past souls
We just preachin’ truth in a suit
But sleepin’ with doubts under covers
Who knows, who knows, who knows, who knows
Who knows, who knows, who knows, who knows
We woke, but numb
Modern saints wearin’ wires
We woke, but numb
But we keep lightin’ up fire
We woke, but numb
Modern saints wearin’ wires
We woke, but numb
But we keep lightin’ up fire
Yeah, we built up for the stage
Yeah, we then lost in the plot
Made the cage, now blame the lock
Truth’s in the mirror we scrollin’ past
Said we woke but sleep in trends
Preach peace, then defend fake friends
Said love’s free but charged by brand
Sellin’ soul for a click, not a hand
Lowkey gods in a digital shrine
Type our prayers, then swipe the divine
Runnin’ from the truth, truth, truth
We ain’t saints, we ain’t sinners, just ghosts with a plan
Tryna build forever with pixels and hands
God, did You see us when we lied?
God, did You watch when we just scrolled by?
God, did You cry when we sold our pain?
God, were You there when we called it fame?
We pray for light
But dim it down to fit the timeline
We build altars out of likes
We scroll for truth
But settle for who screams the loudest
But inside, we feel the silence
Maybe we blind on purpose
Maybe numb is safer
Maybe questions are churches
And silence is savior
Maybe we blind on purpose
Maybe numb is safer
Maybe questions are churches
And silence is savior
God, do You hear through this digital rain?
God, did You fade when we traded Your name?
God, are we lost or just tryna survive?
God, are we dead or just stuck alive?
