Mechanical (Lucknow Acoustic)

from CHOREOGRAPHIC by Lauren Hoffman

/

lyrics

Heartbeat that's lost in the creaking of steel
Teaching and training yourself not to feel
Here is what I see
Human turning into machine

And you're safe in those places where no-one can go
Locked-up and shuttered in it's total control
And I know how it feels
'Cause I lived there for years
But you try and you'll see
It's beautiful to be free

I wasn't born with a metal breast plate
You grow your protection and you learn how to hate
And I'm calling the bluff
I know you better
You aren¹t so tough

Are you inanimate
Do you rely
On manipulation
So you'll look alive
Are you automatic
What turns you on
Buttons and switches
Or lovers and songs

Lover, I've been wasting my time
Riddling, puzzling, searching your eyes
When all I can see
It's turbines and pistons where a man used to be

Am I just not getting it
Is this revolution
A mechanical revolution
Are you dictating your final solution
A mechanical revolution

Am I just not getting it
Is this evolution
A mechanical revolution
Are you dictating your final solution
A mechanical revolution

Lauren Hoffman Los Angeles, California

music is exceptionally useful for communicating the nuance and complexity of the human experience because it is an emotional language, we process and respond to it in a different way than thoughts, beyond the limits of linguistics. that's why it's special and mysterious and i love it. that's why i write and sing and play instruments and make records. that's why i share my songs with you. ... more
