Machines Lyrics
Shouldn't it be 'savouring' life? Not 'savering'?
Brilliant. I love it.
Brilliant song!
You can just hear the emotion in Simon's voice when he says "Cause i've started falling apart"
Mon the Biffy!
This is already sending shivers down my neck... Yeah, his voice on the whole album is beautiful. The song doesn't really require much explaination I don't think. It's about loss as is much of the album
this is such a sad song... It almost brought me to tears when i first heard it.. The emotion in Simon's voice is so raw and fresh, you can tell how much he loved his mother, and how much her death has affected him...
A beautiful song..
wow, i you think about it, "i would dig a thousand holes to lay next to you", its the darkest sentence I've ever heard. anyway beautiful song.
I think, although this song stats off sad, the "take the pieces and build them skywards" line seems to say he's ready to move on - he's finally coming to terms with his mother's death. So I'd say it ends a happy song. Maybe.
wow... this song is amazing. I think its definately about believing you can get through anything, no matter how hard it is - make the best out of a bad situation kinda thing - thats what i get from the line; "take the pieces and build them skywards".
'to lie next to you' - considering that this song is about his mother, could he mean lying in a grave? eg digging holes for graves.
also, 'take the pieces and build them skywards' could refer to the 'pieces' mentioned earlier in the album (9/15ths) saying that hes putting them back together, building them skywards (to heaven maybe). if so this could be considered as a relatively optimistic song to close an album about coming to terms with death with, ending on a bright note
Yeah, I think by saying "take the pieces and build them skywards" he's sort of asking her to take all his & her pieces, and make her way to somewhere more peaceful - heaven.
