Lyrics
They live inside a VCR Machine
They are metaphorically living within the confines of a VCR machine, suggesting a repetitive and stagnant existence.
Twirling round and round atop the heads
Continuously spinning or circling above their thoughts or minds, possibly indicating a lack of progress or change.
Tired of watching all the same
Expressing fatigue or boredom from repeatedly experiencing the same things.
Damn things all the time
Conveying frustration with constantly dealing with mundane or frustrating situations.
Dialogue, they had memorized all the lines
They have memorized the scripted dialogue of their lives, suggesting a lack of spontaneity or genuine experiences.
If you try to make it last then it will
If one tries to prolong a situation, it will endure, but they rushed through it too quickly, missing out on important aspects.
But they ran the tapes to fast
They operated the tapes too fast, implying a hastiness that led to overlooking or bypassing significant moments.
And skipped by everything
They skipped past everything, suggesting a lack of attention to detail or a failure to fully engage with life.

Lazy people sleeping through the loneliness

Haven’t got the guts to make a change

Twirling round and round atop
Reiteration of the circular motion, possibly emphasizing a sense of being stuck or going in circles.
The heads thinking
While twirling, they think that everything is the same, reflecting a sense of monotony and lack of variation in their experiences.
It’s all the same, it’s all the same
Emphasizing the sameness of their experiences, highlighting a lack of novelty or change.
Covering the cuts with our hands
Attempting to cover emotional wounds or difficulties, possibly with a metaphorical reference to using hands as a defense mechanism.
Don’t forget to smile, if you can
An encouragement to maintain a positive facade by smiling, even in challenging situations.
This is bad for us this is bad for us

This is bad for us this is bad for us
