Lyrics
The Machine Stops
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She sits alone amid a radiant room
Melodious and tranquil, she's let remoteness bloom
All she will envision the machine has done
She stares into the image she knows as her son
What's there to seek?
What's there to know?
The machine will show us the answers
How can we break down this soulless contradiction?
How can we feel what can't be felt through emotion?
He longs to walk into the earth's crisp air
Breaking down the boundaries without a care
All he will envision is to escape the machine
He states into the stars, freedom he as seen
Nothing is real, I have to go
The machine will be our destruction
How can we break down this soulless contradiction?
How can we feel what can't be felt through the emotion?
It's clear, we're through
Behind your touch is truth
It's clear to see we've lost our place
Stumbling through transition of a race
Reliant minds too advanced to see the light
Communication breakdown, a final disaster in sight yeah
And in the end we knew the way
Humanity rediscovered
How can we break down this soulless contradiction?
How can we feel what can't be felt through emotion?
How can we break down this soulless contradiction?
How can we feel what can't be felt through emotion?
It's clear we're through
Behind our touched holds truth
