Sky Machine Lyrics

Cover art for Sky Machine lyrics by Karnivool

To me, this is someone with a personality disorder who dreams of escape. The title 'Sky Machine' means escaping to the sky where everything is beautiful and heavenly up there. Escaping from the ground and being truly happy, away from everything you once knew. The song is just his journey of escaping his disorder and being free. Committing suicide.

No longer feeling alive, unable to feel people around you, so out of touch, out of mind. He tells people he's still there but he's just a liar. He has no plan of how he wants to cross the line and escape but he really wants it, he'll do it with an open mind. He wants someone to show him what life is really about, set him on fire, put him through anything, just let him know what it takes.

Crossing the line, attempting suicide and meeting someone who comes to help you as a result. Anyone you feel like you can click or connect in the slightest way, you'll feel like they're the one you need, you feel like both of you are falling in love when its barely reached that point.

Soon you will see his reasons to justify his thoughts of suicide. People around him have stopped caring, so as he dies, the ones dear to him won't even make a sound. Few have the heart to be there for him, will you run or stay? You can't let out how you really feel because it's just your disorder, you have to do everything in your power to keep it hidden. So paranoid about it, even the ones that don't see are actually there. They're not there, but you feel like they are just watching you from time to time.

He's begging for someone to take him away, he's dying to know how actually living life is like. In the end, there is no other way of escape other than suicide.
