Cold Machines Lyrics
I see you working at your station
Radiation burns my eyes
Love's forbidden so is passion
This whole place is sterilized
I just want to see tomorrow
Day by day to just survive
But this place is built to kill me
No one here gets out alive
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
Just a memory
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
Gone
You don't know my name
You don't know my number
You don't know my face at all
We walk right past each other
Every single day
Like cold machines
We're marching on and on and on and on and on
Got your thumb print always with me
Got your barcode memorized
They came here to electroshock me
But can they erase you from my mind?
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
Just a memory
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
Gone
You don't know my name
You don't know my number
You don't know my face at all
We walk right past each other
Every single day
Like cold machines
We're marching on and on and on and on and on
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
Just a memory
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
Gone
You don't know my name
You don't know my number
You don't know my face at all
We walk right past each other
Every single day
Like cold machines
We're marching on and on and on and on and on
Radiation burns my eyes
Love's forbidden so is passion
This whole place is sterilized
Day by day to just survive
But this place is built to kill me
No one here gets out alive
I don't wanna be
Just a memory
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
Gone
You don't know my number
You don't know my face at all
We walk right past each other
Every single day
Like cold machines
We're marching on and on and on and on and on
Got your barcode memorized
They came here to electroshock me
But can they erase you from my mind?
I don't wanna be
Just a memory
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
Gone
You don't know my number
You don't know my face at all
We walk right past each other
Every single day
Like cold machines
We're marching on and on and on and on and on
I don't wanna be
Just a memory
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
Gone
You don't know my number
You don't know my face at all
We walk right past each other
Every single day
Like cold machines
We're marching on and on and on and on and on

Robots in love?
No I think more like living in a very controled world, like the movie Gatica. He is someone who has realised they are all programed, but he now has free thought if only to himself. They try to reprogram him but cannot, but also he cannot escape this world.
Interesting, I wouldn't think about a sci-fi senario because this whole album is all about reality.
This song always makes me think of George Orwell's "1984" and Ayn Rand's "Anthem".
I think the love part, and maybe the song, means that we are uncaring about everything and everyone. he is singing about how love is fake, and when you really do love it is just laughed at and you are called multiple derogatory names. humanity has lost its inner self and is now just a machine.
