| The Automatic – Steve McQueen Lyrics | 15 years ago |

i think it's mostly about Pennie, in a kind of bitter way. I could be completely wrong, but when they performed, although robs the main singer, Pennie, although not doing much, acted like it was his gig. This song could be about how the rest of the band felt with Pennie hogging the limelight : "my best performance escaped me", "Part of the scenery, no reason to stay, all my pictures have been erased - just an extra with nothing to say" and how they feel now he's gone: "I wrote myself into a new storyline. This part was different this time it was mine", a moment of insecurity, possibly missing him: Now I'm lost in my own town, it seems like someone moved the streets around." However, these lines may show that they are over him leaving the band: "Everything's just as i left it, but it wasn't me who left it, the position has been filled" that shows they don't need him. As i said though, i could be completely wrong. It's a great song though! |
