well when i first heard this song, i thought it meant like he'll do what he wants and be who he wants to be, but then when i thought about it, could it be about a relationship? I know people get tired of people always thinking song are about love or relationships, but this part...
Quick, quick, quick, come fix me up
I need to make my move (make my move)
This damn machine doesn't work the way that it used to
But that's what I get for taking it for granted
(I never even meant it, never even meant it)
That's what I get for taking it for granted
(I never even meant it, never even meant it)
seems to me like hes trying to make a move on a girl. so lets see if i can break it down farther...
No one is telling me
The speed I should be traveling
So watch me take the lead
No one is telling me
The speed I should be traveling
So watch me take the lead
Yeah...
Okay, this could mean no one is telling him he can't take the relationship too fast, so he'll take it as fast as he wants, and basically control the girl.
however, it could also mean he can be the lead of whatever (become president etc) because no one told him otherwise
There is an engine in my body
With every beat it lets me breathe
There is a machine within my body
If I can keep up with that machine that's in my body
Well, I can do anything, be anything, see anything
I can feel the beat within my body
The machine could be his heart and he sees a girl that takes his breath away, but if he can keep up with it he can say anything to her, once again, basically have her wrapped around her finger.
It could also mean if he follows his heart he can do anything...
If I keep up with it, could I catch myself?
This line could be hes wondering if he could catch himself before he makes a mistake if he keeps up with his heart
Have you ever been fake
For the sake of saving face?
Could mean being a fake to impress a girl or being fake to get out of trouble...
You can work, you can play
From the cradle to the grave
Doesn't matter what they say
Have you ever been fake
For the sake of saving face?
You can move as you may
From the cradle to the grave
Doesn't matter what they say
He doesn't care what people say, he gonna do what he wants from birth til the day he dies.
"Quick, quick, quick, come fix me up
I need to make my move (make my move)
This damn machine doesn't work the way that it used to
But that's what I get for taking it for granted
(I never even meant it, never even meant it)
That's what I get for taking it for granted
(I never even meant it, never even meant it)"
This is what really got me thinking it was about the girl. it seems to me like his heart skipped a beat because he found a girl he really likes, and now hes nervous about making a move on her, when it normally comes easy.
However, it could also mean somethings getting in the way of him following his heart or he comes to realize that maybe hes not always right.

So it could be taken either way...
