Lyrics
VERSE 1:
In the quiet of my room, I scroll to find my way
But the screen begins to dance, and my world starts to sway
Two point three point three whispers soft and clear
“Let the user choose the motion that appears”
Some folks feel the spinning when the parallax unfolds
Their vestibular system needs a story gently told
Animation from interactions, we can make it kind
Give control to every user, peace of mind to find
CHORUS:
Still waters on the screen tonight
Let me turn off all the motion, make it right
No more dizziness or nausea in my head
Give me power over movement, gentle instead
Unless it’s critical, let stillness be my friend
Still waters, gentle screens, on which I can depend
VERSE 2:
Behind each scrolling effect that seems so smooth and fine
Lives someone fighting vertigo, walking a thin line
The web can make them dizzy with each hover and each click
But we can build with empathy, make healing choices quick
Check your system settings for “reduce motion” please
Honor every preference like a gentle summer breeze
Non-essential flourishes can wait behind a door
Where users hold the key to less or maybe more
CHORUS:
Still waters on the screen tonight
Let me turn off all the motion, make it right
No more dizziness or nausea in my head
Give me power over movement, gentle instead
Unless it’s critical, let stillness be my friend
Still waters, gentle screens, on which I can depend
BRIDGE/OUTRO:****
In this digital garden where we all belong
Every interaction should be like a healing song
Two point three point three reminds us to be wise
See the world through someone else’s sensitive eyes
When motion serves no purpose, let the user lead
Still waters run the deepest, that’s all we need
