Lyrics

Machines are rolling once again,

Machines are starting or functioning once more.

It's time to meet your new best friend.

It's time to encounter your new best friend.

He's in your face and in your pocket don't take your eyes off him.

This new friend is pervasive, both in your face and in your pocket; caution is advised.

Is he someone you long to be?

Questioning if this friend is an aspirational figure.

Identities are altered for you.

Identities are modified for you.

Never see what it's really like if it's ugly deep inside,

Not recognizing the true nature if it's internally unattractive.

Consumer life, consumes a life to, -hit zero once again and follow life the

Consumerism consumes life; hitting zero implies starting anew in following life as it's meant to be.

Way it's meant to be.

Emphasizing the ideal way of life.

There must be something more in store for me.

Expressing a desire for something more meaningful in life.

We can't be forced to see.

Asserting that individuals cannot be compelled to see things in a certain way.

Hit zero.

Reiterating the idea of starting anew or resetting to zero.

Once again without the thoughts of someone else to blend.

Starting fresh without being influenced by others' thoughts.

There must be something more 'cause I am bored.

Expressing dissatisfaction and boredom, seeking something more.

We can be forced to feed.

Highlighting the potential for being compelled to conform.

He's got a book to sell you too,

Referring to an individual selling a book, possibly promoting a certain ideology.

A self made icon sold to you.

An individual presented as a self-made icon being marketed.

He's representing everything I wish had not existed.

Disapproval of this representation, symbolizing things the speaker wishes didn't exist.

But somebody else might come and be the one,

Hope for someone else to emerge and lead.

The one to follow.

The anticipation of finding a worthy leader.

There's something I've known,

Hinting at prior knowledge or experience.

I've seen this,

Personal observation or realization.

Herd mentality creates,

Reference to the influence of herd mentality.

The fuel to run machines forever.

Describing herd mentality as the perpetual fuel for machines.

And I have been the worst of both extremes.

Admitting to embodying the negative aspects of both extremes.

Self thoughts could be impossible it seems.

Suggesting that individual thoughts may seem impossible.

Hit zero once again and follow life the way it's meant to be.

Reiteration of hitting zero and following the ideal way of life.

There must be something more in store for me.

Expressing a desire for something more meaningful in life (repeated).
