Machine

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

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

Savage things wash over me
A crime that leaves the heated green

Oh machine
Machine, I washed it for you
Oh machine
Machine, I wasted for you

And I walk, and I walk
The space left for two
And I wait, and I wait
To wake next to you
And I walk, and I walk
The space left for two
And I wait, and I wait
To wake next to you

Oh machine
Machine, I wasted for you

Machine, machine
I washed it for you

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

    General CommentLook 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.

    General Commenti 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'
