Machines of Our Disgrace Lyrics

Paralyzing, exilir of contempt
Overriding, sobriety's attempt
A narcissism we so eagerly embrace
Smile as we assemble the machines of our disgrace

Submission without a fight
Corrosion by parasite

Metasizing, in such a willing host
The real disease has been misdiagnosed
Dehumanizing and difficult to face
We built our own destruction, the machines of our disgrace

Submission without a fight
Corrosion by parasite
Parasite

Submission without a fight
Corrosion by parasite
By parasite

Submission without a fight
Corrosion by parasite

Submission
Corrosion by parasite

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.

As I understand it, MoOD is about our addiction to social media (and other technology). We see the latest updates and posts and need to be involved, liking or commenting etc. It's all about 'me' in social media. Narcissism- that sm is all about us and wheat we post, we like, we want etc. Contempt- I guess how quickly any 'discussion' on sm quickly becomes vitriolic and toxic. People just can't accept that others think differently [so yes, no one can disagree with this interpretation!] ;) Real disease misdiagnosed- that it really comes down to human nature and our selfishness- instead of really being the fault of technology itself. (curious to hear what others think of this line...) Submission without a fight- that people eagerly sign up to the new sm fads, creating profiles and participating until the next comes along... People are happy, eager to join social media, connecting electronically but are losing the ability to actually communicate face to face with others. Love this song- and album. So, so good!
