Rotten World Pack – Why Do I Wake Up Thirsty? [Single]

Rotten World Pack‘s alt-soul number, “Why Do I Wake Up Thirsty?“, addresses the disconnection and anxiety that arise in a world obsessed with technology and materialism. Lead singer Angelrose‘s rich voice, tinged with sadness, questions our constant need for approval and the lingering fear of missing out. The song’s somber and haunting mood is achieved through its eerie guitar melody and layered harmonies, without the presence of a rhythm track or drums.

The memorable line, “Why do I wake up thirsty, checking my phone?” points at our singer’s deep-seated need for validation and our addiction to technology, while her partner/producer Zir Serio‘s Spanish verse adds depth, expressing the confusion between thirst and yearning for what one lacks (at least that what I take from it after running his words through Google Translate). The song urges listeners to reevaluate their priorities and seek out genuine connections beyond the superficiality of the digital age. Released as their second track in 2023, the minimalistic production creates a sobering atmosphere, allowing the moving vocals and relatable lyrics to connect with listeners facing similar struggles in today’s hyperconnected world.
