"Ticker Tape" is the fifth bonus track and twenty fifth track overall from the band's fifth studio album "Humanz (Deluxe)".
“Ticker Tape” is a song about the technological progress of humanity and whether some of this progress is even desirable. The ticker tape represents our contemporary media culture and especially the noise it makes. The question being posed is how often we should reassess the ticker tape. Maybe we need to ask ourselves questions of how fast we’re going and if we’re going in the right direction.
In an interview with Ryan Leas on April 11, Damon explained:
"I was trying to imagine the spirit that might be present in a big city in the United States. One of the deluxe edition tracks, “Ticker Tape”, is about a ticker tape parade where nobody comes out. It’s in moonlight, it’s in black and white, it’s in monochrome. I was having a lot of fun imagining some pretty dark, fantastical things, which in a way have…that spirit has manifested itself."
