Automatic
Embracing Freedom: Amy Macdonald's Automatic Journey
Lyrics
I'm going back, back again
I am returning, going back again.
Flying solo, only myself to blame
Traveling alone, taking full responsibility for my actions.
Taking my chances time and time again
Taking risks repeatedly, embracing opportunities as they come.
Goodbye to you my old friend
Farewell to you, my old friend.
'Cause I'm ready to go, this feeling won't stop
Expressing readiness to embark on a journey, an unstoppable feeling.
Hitting the road, it's all that I've got
Starting a journey, as it is the only option available.
It's automatic
Describing the journey as automatic, perhaps instinctive or necessary.
Foot to the floor, I can't take anymore
Accelerating without hesitation, unable to endure any more.
Running from the life I tried to ignore
Escaping from a life that was attempted to be ignored.
It's automatic, automatic
Reiterating that the journey is automatic.
Feeling sadness, feeling shame
Acknowledging feelings of sadness and shame.
I've taken the easy way out over and over again
Choosing the easier path repeatedly, avoiding challenges.
Open road, I'm coming home
Heading towards an open road, returning home.
I'm free to live, I'm free to roam
Embracing freedom to live and roam.
'Cause I'm ready to go, this feeling won't stop
Reiterating the readiness to embark on the journey.
Hitting the road, it's all that I've got
Starting the road trip as it is the primary option.
It's automatic
Referring to the journey as automatic once again.
Foot to the floor, I can't take anymore
Accelerating to the maximum, unable to endure further.
Running from the life I tried to ignore
Continuing to escape from a life that was attempted to be ignored.
It's automatic, automatic
Reiterating that the journey is automatic.
Bring it right down, get ready to stop
Suggesting a slowdown, preparing to come to a stop.
Turn it right 'round, go back to the start
Turning around, going back to the beginning.
Bring it right down, get ready to stop
Repeating the process of slowing down and stopping.
Turn it right 'round, turn it right 'round, turn it right 'round
Emphasizing the act of turning around, repeating it multiple times.
Go back to the start
Returning to the starting point.
Automatic, automatic
Summarizing the journey as automatic.
Ready to go, this feeling won't stop
Expressing continued readiness for the journey.
Hitting the road, it's all that I've got
Initiating the road trip, as it remains the primary option.
It's automatic
Reiterating that the journey is automatic.
Foot to the floor, I can't take anymore
Accelerating to the maximum, unable to endure further.
Running from the life I tried to ignore
Continuing to escape from a life that was attempted to be ignored.
It's automatic, automatic
Reiterating that the journey is automatic.
