Woke up with blankets in buildings with jaws
Stuck to the sheets, clammy with noon
We wish for night time, a darkening screen
Open the heart, just a machine
Oh, there was home
Oh, there was home
This one is vicious, a sinister lean
We haunted her staircase where small ghosts have been
Weening that heaven was stretched out and wide
Pinned to the sky
Pinned to the sky
Oh, there was home
Oh, there was home
Oh, life is long and hollow
Oh, life is long and hollow
Oh, life is long and hollow
Oh, life is long and hollow
We hate this city, filled its drone
We hate this city, filled its drone
We hate this city, filled its drone
We hate this city, filled its drone
So black out million screens
And wire up the floor
Baby we can get you anything you want, any time you want
But you won't know what it's for
So black out a million dreams
And wire up all the floors
Baby we can get you anything you want, any time you want
But you won't know what it's for
Stuck to the sheets, clammy with noon
We wish for night time, a darkening screen
Open the heart, just a machine
Oh, there was home
Oh, there was home
This one is vicious, a sinister lean
We haunted her staircase where small ghosts have been
Weening that heaven was stretched out and wide
Pinned to the sky
Pinned to the sky
Oh, there was home
Oh, there was home
Oh, life is long and hollow
Oh, life is long and hollow
Oh, life is long and hollow
Oh, life is long and hollow
We hate this city, filled its drone
We hate this city, filled its drone
We hate this city, filled its drone
We hate this city, filled its drone
So black out million screens
And wire up the floor
Baby we can get you anything you want, any time you want
But you won't know what it's for
So black out a million dreams
And wire up all the floors
Baby we can get you anything you want, any time you want
But you won't know what it's for

In my opinion, this song is about forgetting about modern technology, and opening your heart without the machine. I think it's also about how materialistic people are these days and completely forget about love.
Also, it's "Opened my heart, just a machine"
