Degrade me, my purpose
Bury me beneath the surface
I'm scratching, I'm clawing
Trying hard to make them pay
Can't stand me, beside me
Kid you not, your kiss sure killed me
The cold of my barrel
Never sees the light of day
Call me, call me, you could only hurt the story
Call me, call me, I'll be there to shine a light
The smell on the speakers
Sweaty ballroom dancing fever
They gather in numbers
Ever for a closer view
The cease fire the weaker
Hair so red I couldn't keep her
The dogs hound the neighbors
Everything was blown away
Call me, call me, you could only hurt the story
Call me, call me, I'll be there to shine a light
Machine, machines, point me to the nearest party
You'll see, you'll see, baby it's the only way
Call me, call me, you could only
Call me, call me, I'll be there
Machines, machines, point me to the nearest party
Bury me beneath the surface
I'm scratching, I'm clawing
Trying hard to make them pay
Can't stand me, beside me
Kid you not, your kiss sure killed me
The cold of my barrel
Never sees the light of day
Call me, call me, you could only hurt the story
Call me, call me, I'll be there to shine a light
The smell on the speakers
Sweaty ballroom dancing fever
They gather in numbers
Ever for a closer view
The cease fire the weaker
Hair so red I couldn't keep her
The dogs hound the neighbors
Everything was blown away
Call me, call me, you could only hurt the story
Call me, call me, I'll be there to shine a light
Machine, machines, point me to the nearest party
You'll see, you'll see, baby it's the only way
Call me, call me, you could only
Call me, call me, I'll be there
Machines, machines, point me to the nearest party

Anyway, I'm not too sure about the meaning. Not to read too much into it, it could be about how KOL feels like they need to keep up with their listeners, who are "machines" and always partying and moving on to other up-and-coming bands. And it's almost degrading to their purpose -which is making music- because even if they feel a passion for their songs, it won't matter if they've been written off by the people who listened to them (I guess that'd be more for the general public, not people who really follow the band). Eh, just a thought.
