Dream Machine Lyrics

Talk to yourself
Listen because no one else will
And shine your star
Shine your star
Shine your star
Lock your door
And keep the strangers away
Talk to your imaginary friends
That only you can see
And stare
Stare into your dream machine
See what you see but don't say that you see it
Hide yourself less someone will steal it
Hide your love
Hide your love
Sunday velvet

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for Dream Machine lyrics by God Machine, The

by Cracked Pleasures

14y ago

Maybe because I have Asperger Syndrome myself, but this song comes across as very autistic. It seems to be about someone locked up in his own dream world, not connected very well to the real world, not understanding the other people and vice versa, but not minding too much and enjoying talking to the imaginary friends and drifting away in his dream world. Not sure what the "Sunday Velvet" at the end could refer to.
