This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I memorize the basics
Making strange faces
Traded slowly for I know
There's a thousand miles to go
Without blinking
I gravitate spacewards
Find a home for the head
From my basement
No darkness ever left
This is the night
This is the sound
Here comes the warm machine
Such a warm machine
Pretty warm
Some days are playful
Making play faces
But we will not let it through
The darkness and the sense
Of being born to loose
This is the life
This is the sound
Here comes the warm machine
Such a warm machine
This is the life
This is the ground
Here comes the warm machine
Such a warm machine
If we never know we can only
Feel
I'll take the help
I'll take a slice
Warm alright, now
Cause I feel alright
I memorize the basics, basics, basics
This is the night
This is the sound
Here comes the warm machine
Such a warm machine
Such a warm machine
Such a warm machine
Machine, machine, machine
Making strange faces
Traded slowly for I know
There's a thousand miles to go
Without blinking
I gravitate spacewards
Find a home for the head
From my basement
No darkness ever left
This is the night
This is the sound
Here comes the warm machine
Such a warm machine
Pretty warm
Some days are playful
Making play faces
But we will not let it through
The darkness and the sense
Of being born to loose
This is the life
This is the sound
Here comes the warm machine
Such a warm machine
This is the life
This is the ground
Here comes the warm machine
Such a warm machine
If we never know we can only
Feel
I'll take the help
I'll take a slice
Warm alright, now
Cause I feel alright
I memorize the basics, basics, basics
This is the night
This is the sound
Here comes the warm machine
Such a warm machine
Such a warm machine
Such a warm machine
Machine, machine, machine

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
this song is about sex lol
this was my first instinct, too. i know he's quoted explaining the meaning a little differently, but... i'm still seeing/ hearing sex when i listen to this years later.
"Warm Machine is a savior. Sometimes you want a chariot, a way out. 'I memorize the basics' is the opening line and that's just an attempt to operate in the standard ways so you don't step out of line b/c you fear how you are. But sometimes it's difficult to fit in, and you want to escape from a certain situation you've gotten yourself in. You just wish something could come and lift you away and make you free." - as quoted by Gavin Rossdale
i think this song is pretty straightforward underneath the metaphors.
"warm machine" - human being
"i memorize the basics" - learning how to live, learning how to be a human
"making strange faces - 1000 miles to go " - complaining about life because there is so much left to live of it..
"this is the night, this is the sound" - the night and sound of death
"gravitate spacewards" - gravity opposes the movement into space.. similarly an ending opposes movement of motion..

Lisa-Claire Sanwall from San Francisco: Gavin, you're my favorite rock star because you write really powerful music and have a compel-ling and gorgeous voice! The lyrics of all of your songs read like sublime poetry, and I was wondering if you may have any poetic influences, and what inspired you to write your newest single from The Science of Things, Warm Machine?
GR: "Warm Machine" is sort of my stream of consciousness song. It's a song about trying to fit in and changing body shape to try to be part of anyone. I like Charles Bukowski because he's edgy. I'm not smart enough to know "proper, real" poets. I love Ginsberg, I love the French poets -- Baudelaire, Rambaud. I love Patti Smith.
I picture a guy lying tied to the railroad tracks, right when a train is coming, singing this song. Kinda creepy.
umm.. those lyrics are wrong in the first part of the song.. it goes:
I memorize the basics Making strange faces Tread slowly for I know There's a thousand miles to go Without blinking.
o, one more thing, ya know how when you see lightening, theres light and then sound, then nothing else? i think that;s the illustration that is trying to be made with life.
AGENT SMITH IS A WARM MACHINE! LOLOOLOL!!1 it's so about him
This song is really cool, I like it a lot. "Gravitate spacewards.....ever left," this lyric is about trying to make yourself satisfied, even when your life sucks and u have nothing to do but just chill in yur basement, just trying to find happiness. "If we never know, we can only feel," I love this lyric it's so true and deep. Then, "cos I feel alright," and everything cuts out accept the guitar...... just so powerful. OUTSTANDING SONG!
This song is about heroin.
@walken i didn't think that until i read this comment, but... shit. im viewing it totally differently thinking that. makes sense.
