Automatic
Unyielding Forces: Navigating Life's Struggles in The Androids' 'Automatic'
Lyrics
I push so hard, they hardly push back
I exert a lot of effort, but there's minimal resistance or opposition.
Instinct has led me to a man trap
My instincts have led me into a situation that feels like a trap set by others.
Divorce my conscience to be undone
I ignore my moral compass to undo myself or break free from something.
Throw down my ladder so you can get up
I abandon my position to help you rise or succeed.
It's automatic
There's an automatic, involuntary aspect to my actions.
I just can't help it
I can't control or stop these actions; they happen naturally.
I push so hard, you push me back
Despite encountering resistance, I continue to push forward.
I push so hard
Reiteration of the persistent effort I put into something.
Part dopey dog and one part steam train
Describing oneself as a mix of naivety and unstoppable force.
On the back foot I see that look again
In a disadvantaged position, I recognize a familiar expression or situation.
I push so hard, they hardly push back
Similar to line 1, emphasizing the effort without much opposition.
You say, alright
You acknowledge or approve of my actions.
It's automatic
Reiteration of the involuntary nature of the actions.
I just can't help it
Re-emphasizing the lack of control over these automatic actions.
I tell you what to do
I instruct or guide you on what needs to be done.
I'll do the work for you
I take on the responsibility of completing the work for you.
I'll tell you what to do
Reiteration of giving instructions or guidance.
It's automatic
Re-emphasizing the automatic and uncontrollable nature of the actions.
I just can't help it
Reiterating the lack of control over these involuntary actions.
It's automatic, yeah, yeah, yeah
Further emphasis on the automatic nature of the situation.
I just can't help this place I'm in
I can't help being in this state or situation.
