The Machine
Love's Deceptive Machinery: Unraveling the Heart's Contradictions
Lyrics
So sick of writing songs about love
Expressing fatigue with writing songs centered around love.
As if we even knew what it was
Questioning the understanding of love.
This blood flesh and bone disguising a machine
Highlighting the contrast between human elements (blood, flesh, bone) and the emotional experience described as a machine.
So I gave you all that I had
Giving everything in a relationship.
Still the good outweighed by the bad
Despite efforts, the negative aspects overshadow the positive.
Decisions I've made forever haunting me
Regret and guilt for past decisions that continue to affect the present.
I know it can't be the same
Acknowledging the impossibility of restoring the past.
Avoiding all the places that carry your name
Avoidance of reminders associated with the person.
Every single new day just feels like the same
Monotony and lack of change in daily life.
Here on my own I should have known
Regret for not realizing the situation earlier while being alone.
All of the stupid arguments
Reflecting on senseless arguments.
I'm so sorry for what I said
Apologizing for hurtful words spoken.
I take it all back if you would just come home
Expressing a willingness to retract statements for reconciliation.
So what happened just like they said
Confirming an event unfolded as predicted by others.
Needed some time to think but instead
Instead of using time for reflection, the partner took back a decision.
You took it all back and now it's killing me
The reversal of decisions is causing emotional distress.
I know it can't be the same
Reiterating the impossibility of restoring the past.
Avoiding all the places that carry your name
Continued avoidance of reminders associated with the person.
Every single new day just feels like the same
Every new day feels repetitive and unchanged.
Here on my own I should have known
Regret for not realizing the situation earlier while being alone.
Now I know that it matters
Realization of the importance of the relationship.
That you needed better
Acknowledging a need for improvement and understanding.
Empty my lungs
A metaphorical expression of intense emotional release.
What have I done
Acknowledging a sense of guilt or remorse for past actions.
I know it can't be the same
Reiterating the impossibility of restoring the past.
Avoiding all the places that carry your name
Continued avoidance of reminders associated with the person.
Every single new day just feels like the same
Every new day feels repetitive and unchanged.
Here on my own I should have known
Regret for not realizing the situation earlier while being alone.
