Can't watch with mechanical eyes, we say ahh-oh.
You light a match but can't see in the dark, you say ohh-no.
Don't even laugh as you fight to survive, say ahh-oh.
Run out of time. Save your life, oh, whoa, oh.

Backfire.
Shut your mouth.
You got nothing to say.
Backfire.
You could break your back,
Get fucked up, feel the heat.
Can't stop me now.
I'm throwing daggers from my mouth.
I don't get tired.
You can't tie me up, or slow me down.
You can't stop me now.
I am a machine.

I step quick while you're falling behind, I say ahh-oh.
I watched you dig, bury yourself alone, I say ohh-no.
I brought a gun, all you've got is a knife, I say ahh-oh.
One at a time, save your life. Ahh-ohh-no.

Backfire.
Shut your mouth.
You got nothing to say.
Backfire.
You could break your back,
Get fucked up, feel the heat.
Can't stop me now.
I'm throwing daggers from my mouth.
I don't get tired.
You can't tie me up, or slow me down.
You can't stop me now.
I am a machine.

I am a machine
I am a machine
I am a machine
I am a machine
I am a machine
I am a machine
I am a machine
I am a machine

You know I need so much more.
More than I gave before.
When metal replaces bone.
The future is now.
It is what you own.
Not enough to save yourself.
You better think of something else.
It's not exactly what I've become.
But we know it's nothing that you have done.
Ah, ah

Backfire.
Shut your mouth.
You got nothing to say.
Backfire.
You could break your back,
Get fucked up, feel the heat.
Can't stop me now.
I'm throwing daggers from my mouth.
I don't get tired.
You can't tie me up, or slow me down.
You can't stop me now.
I am a machine.

This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
