Lyrics
Before Now
Reflecting on the past
I was a Machine
Identifying with being emotionless or robotic
Bolts and screws, ate into me
Feeling the impact of hardships
Directed by, a programmed life
Living a predetermined and controlled life
Now I feel weird looking into the night
Experiencing a change in perspective
We once played, all day, together
Nostalgia for past joyful times spent together
All day, together, forever
Desiring eternal connection
Me the Machine, my buttons and bolts
Describing the mechanical self
Could never evolve, enough to know.
Expressing limitation in personal growth
What love is. How it comes and goes
Questioning understanding of love's dynamics
When you left me out
Feeling abandoned and excluded
I felt myself grow old
Sensing the impact of separation on aging
I don't wanna change your mind
Expressing a desire to maintain personal convictions
Just wanna find some peace, in mine
Seeking inner tranquility
Tell me what you wanted to find
Asking for the partner's true intentions
And I can give, it a try
Offering to understand and accommodate
What should I do?
Seeking guidance in a changed circumstance
Now that I'm Obsoleted
Feeling obsolete or replaced
I'm no more yours,
Acknowledging detachment from the former partner
I'm no more completed
Feeling incomplete without the partner
You found something
Acknowledging the partner's discovery of something better
Works better than me did
Accepting inferiority to a new discovery
So fold me up, in your tapestries again
Offering to be part of the partner's life again
And I'll be here, when you're ready for me
Commitment to wait for reconciliation
But until then, its just the rugs and me
Acceptance of loneliness in the meantime
the Machine
Reiteration of the mechanical identity
I don't wanna change your mind
Repeating the desire for personal stability
Just wanna find some peace, in mine
Reiterating the search for inner peace
Tell me what you wanted to find
Requesting clarity on the partner's desires
And I can give , it a try
Offering willingness to adapt and change
