Automaton Lyrics

Am I love?
Every heart is beating
I'm all love
Can't you feel me feeling?
Take my hand
Cold like a junkie
I'm an ice cold man
(I'm an ice cold)
Why am I crying for you?

All this love I felt for you
Has gone away to another place
I put my faith in a digital world where they've given me
Eyes without a face
I'd steal the moon, on silver nights
Remind myself I am someone
My soul is numb and void tonight
(I'm automaton)

I'm so tough
Can't you see me running
See I can touch
Can you feel me coming?
I see the world
And cry for freedom
These metal eyes, they can't disguise
The fact that I
(I need something to believe in)
But then I'm dying for you

I said goodbye to the world I knew
And took off into inner space
Weren't you the ones who promised me
A very different place
I've powered up, get my program set
And tilt my head toward the sun
Inside I know, I'm null and void
(I'm automaton)

(Automaton, automaton)
(Automaton, automaton)

Hey, you got me down underground
Getting holed up in my cyber lounge
As if I had time to break that down
(Automaton)
Whatever you can do I can override it
Got a million ways to synthesize it
Digital android, I can fight it
(Fi-fi-fi-fight it out)
(Automaton, automaton)
(Automaton, automaton)

Feel like a man, who fell to earth
That this is not where I belong
They rule my life from a metal box, that's windowless
And I wonder, where it all goes wrong
Maybe this dream will stay alive
But can the madness be undone?
Am I the new intelligence?

(I'm automaton, I'm automaton)
(I'm automaton, I'm automaton)
(I'm automaton, I'm automaton)
(I'm automaton)
You know I need something
I can hold on to
Hold on to
You were all I knew
(I'm automaton)
I need something
I can hold on to
Hold on to
This was all I knew
(I'm automaton)

What is the Meaning of Automaton?

This track paints a vivid picture of a person feeling disconnected and lost in a world dominated by technology. The lyrics express the struggle of trying to maintain humanity amidst the cold, impersonal digital age. The protagonist feels like an "automaton," devoid of emotions and identity, longing for something real to hold onto. He yearns for genuine human connection, reminiscing about a time when he felt love and had faith in the world. The song is a poignant commentary on how technology can create a sense of isolation and alienation, despite its promise of connectivity and progress.
