Ghost Machine
Unraveling the Ghost Machine: A Journey into Inner Conflict
Lyrics
I don't know what's happening to me
I am experiencing something unknown or confusing.
So I guess I'll make myself the enemy
To cope with the confusion, I'll position myself as the adversary.
Take my pulse and set it to my feet
Measure my heartbeat and ground it to my core.
And make these words disastrous to speak
Expressing words that have a destructive impact when spoken.
I've been christened by your saliva
Your saliva has marked or influenced me.
Everything that's said and done just burns me up inside
Every action and word haunt me internally.
I get tired making sense to no one
Feeling exhausted from explaining things to no avail.
So chop these lily-livers up to make your feast again
Sarcastically suggesting sacrificing the weak to satisfy your desires.
You can't tell me
Challenging someone to contradict or oppose me.
Won't sell me
Refusing to be persuaded or manipulated.
I'm not in love
Emphatically denying being in love.
With this ghost machine of yours
Rejecting involvement or affection with a metaphorical "ghost machine."
You can't tell me
Reiterating the rejection of influence or persuasion.
Won't sell me
Resisting attempts to be convinced or controlled.
I'm not in love
Repeating the denial of being in love.
With this ghost machine of yours
Reaffirming the rejection of a metaphorical "ghost machine."
Can I break this code
Questioning the possibility of breaking a certain code or pattern.
Can I just unload
Expressing a desire to release or let go.
Maybe that's how I'm designed
Suggesting that being designed to unload or release is a part of one's nature.
I don't know what's happening to me
Repeating the sense of not understanding what is happening.
So I guess I'll make myself the enemy
Reiterating the decision to position oneself as the adversary.
You can't tell me
Challenging others not to attempt to influence or control.
Won't sell me
Emphasizing resistance to being sold on an idea or emotion.
I'm not in love
Stating again the denial of being in love.
With this ghost machine of yours
Reaffirming the rejection of the metaphorical "ghost machine."
You can't tell me
Repeating the assertion of resistance to persuasion.
Won't sell me
Emphasizing the refusal to be sold on a particular idea or emotion.
I'm not in love
Restating the denial of being in love.
With this ghost machine of yours
Reiterating the rejection of the metaphorical "ghost machine."
