Machines Lyrics

“Machines”

A broken down machine
was our friendship
but the motors gone
almost dry
grind the gears
put it in drive
hope the motor
doesn’t die

So mechanical
almost automatic
our transactions
are so erratic
communication
full of static
our friendship is
so tragic

We are machines
Yes we are friends
One friend receives
While the other one-sends
We are machines
Yes we are friends
One Friend receives
While the other one sends

Kept in action
there’s no emotion
this machine makes
quite a commotion
worn out parts
with no devotion
a wonder it’s still
in motion

We are machines
Yes we are friends
One friend receives
While the other one-sends
We are machines
Yes we are friends
One Friend receives
While the other one sends

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

The song is about a relationship that I had that was broken beyond repair... It is hard when you are left giving and the other one is just taking... The relationship became mechanical and therefor void of emotion.... I sat down penned the lyrics to paper in one shot and then wrote the music and sequenced this song with in a matter of hours... It is one of those magical things that are driven by emotion without thought... I plan to rerecord this song as Elastic Souls.... -Ricky X-
