About “Life without the news”

“Life Without the News” was written after consciously stepping away from daily news consumption. Rather than focusing on whether news is true or false, the song questions selection, repetition, and emotional overload.

The song argues that constant exposure to negativity and interpretation does not automatically lead to better understanding, and often leads to frustration, anxiety, and distorted perception. By disconnecting from the news cycle, Aton O’Cat discovered improved mood, clarity, and focus.

Musically, the song contrasts its serious subject with a danceable rock groove, reinforcing the idea that liberation can feel light rather than heavy.

Song meaning / interpretation “Life without the news”

“Life Without the News” is not about ignorance, it is about conscious consumption. The lyrics explore:

• The emotional cost of nonstop news exposure

• How repetition and framing affect perception

• The illusion that constant concern equals responsibility

• The difference between being informed and being overwhelmed

The line “It’s not about fake or not fake / It’s about selections they make” summarizes the song’s core message: objectivity is compromised by editorial choice, not just misinformation.

The song encourages listeners to step back, verify independently, and protect mental well-being.

Musical DNA “Life without the news”

Musically, the song is intentionally accessible and rhythmic:

• Danceable rock groove, inviting movement

• Bright chord progressions, contrasting lyrical seriousness

• Clear, repetitive chorus, reinforcing the central idea

• Minimalist arrangement, keeping focus on message

• Upbeat tempo, supporting the feeling of liberation

The music embodies freedom: light, flowing, and energizing.

My life without the news

Gives me clear new views

Why don’t you try it too?

Do it and get the clue

Do not make the mistake

To think to know what is at stake

It’s not about fake or not fake

It’s about selections they make

I now have a better mood

All that repetition did me no good

My life without the news

Gives me clear new views

Why don’t you try it too?

Do it and get the clue

Don’t have the interpretation

Being concerned helps your nation

The fact that others are in damnation

Just brings you lots of frustration

I now have a better mood

All that negativity did me no good

My life without the news

Gives me clear new views

Why don’t you try it too?

Do it and get the clue

Do not think I’m not informed

Info resources are enorm

Subjectivity is no honest form

Objectivity should be the norm

My life without the news

Gives me clear new views

Why don’t you try it too?

Do it and get the clue

You still are not persuaded?

Pick one item of the last decade

Search all the news that was made

Discover which information was mislaid

My life without the news

Gives me clear new views

Why don’t you try it too?

Do it and get the clue
