Machine Lyrics

Wasteful season, take my hand
Take the place of the snakes who ran

Savage things wash over me
A crime that leaves a heated greed
Oh machine, machine
I washed it for you
Machine, machine
I waste it for you

And I walk
And I walk
A space left for two
And I wait
And I wait
To wake next to you
And I walk
And I walk
A space left for two
And I wait
And I wait
To wake next to you

Oh machine, machine
I waste it for you
Machine, machine
I waste it for you
Ha!

Oh machine, machine
I washed it for you

I have no idea /what/ this song is about, but I don't think it's about a vibrator. Just a feeling.

Machine= Capitalism? Or just success.

Look at all the phallic images. "Take the place of the snakes who ran", this could tie in with the vibrator theory, it taking the place of the men who left her, represented by phallic image of the snakes. The title "Machine", itself can also be seen to represent the vibrator, calling it a machine due to its machine like state, immitating nature.

i don't know.. somehow i really doubt it's about vibrators. not much else really makes sense when it comes to that theory. washed what for you? wasted what for you? wasteful season? she waits to wake up to a vibrator?

..just sayin'
