The Universal Declaration of Human Rights enshrines the right to privacy or private life. Often, we pay with it for stuff like being important on social sites or accessing useless content that makes us falsely happy or even more like a false sense of security by installing a camera in your garage. We easily give our privacy away, and it's not renewable.
I want to share three heavy metal songs with you that might make you think about how important is your privacy.
Listen to them with an open mind. I can guarantee that what's inside is not science fiction. It happens to millions of people today and maybe to you or someone you know.
You are nothing more than a folder on my hard disk.
Abusing the privacy of someone by sharing their pictures online can harm a person in many ways - starting from mental health issues to much worse scenarios.
Your content is never protected. Do not try to convince yourself that this can't happen to you because it will. Are you ready to take the risk?
Browse the lyrics and happy listening!
Is Anyone Up by ** Electric Callboy**
(Explicit content if you listen to the whole song)
And I tell you I'm sorry girl
It was nothing personal
Is anyone up?
Is anyone up?
Your p$$$y
Your b$$$ies
On the World Wide Web
Privacy and intimacy as we know it will be a memory
Humanity tends to solve its problems with the fastest solution. In most cases, it's the stupidest thing you can do, but we are proud that we did something to fix this issue, even if it's gaining no benefits.
Someone parks on my spot in the garage - let's put a camera and bring the revenge to them. My kid is late from school; let's give them a new smartwatch to track them.
We are watched by more than 1000 eyes every day, and we usually bring some of them with us voluntarily.
1,000 Eyes by Death
Crossing the line into the other side
Emerging as prisoners
To the emptiness of time
To the left and to the right
From behind - they're out of sight
Plunging into a new found
Age of advanced observeillance
A worldwide, foolproof cage
Privacy and intimacy as we know it
Will be a memory
Among many to be passed down
To those who never knew
Electric Eye by Judas Priest
Up here in space
I'm looking down on you
My lasers trace
Everything you do
You think you've private lives, think nothing of the kind
There is no true escape, I'm watching all the time
We easily give our privacy away, and it's not renewable. Think before you do something to harm your privacy! I hope those three heavy metal classics can paint you a picture of a possible reality with you as a main character!

Neat! What about the "Free me" of Uriah Heep?
Before I even read this, I knew Electric Eye would be on the list.
It's a classic :)
@guyroyse - do you know any good songs on the same topic?
You included the one I was going to suggest.
Also Ratt's Album - Invasion of Privacy
That's new to me. Thanks!
