I Am Machine
Three Days Grace Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All the pain and suffering
There's beauty in the bleeding
At least you feel something
I wish I knew what it was like
To care enough to carry on
I wish I knew what it was like
To find a place where I belong, but
I am machine
I never sleep
I keep my eyes wide open
I am machine
A part of me
Wishes I could just feel something
I am machine
I never sleep
Until I fix what's broken
I am machine
A part of me
Wishes I could just feel something
Here's to being human
Taking it for granted
The highs and lows of living
To getting second chances
I wish I knew what it was like
To care about what's right or wrong
I wish someone could help me find
Find a place where I belong, but
I am machine
I never sleep
I keep my eyes wide open
I am machine
A part of me
Wishes I could just feel something
I am machine
I never sleep
Until I fix what's broken
I am machine
A part of me
Wishes I could just feel something
It wasn't supposed to be this way
We were meant to feel the pain
I don't like what I am becoming
Wish I could just feel something
I am machine
I never sleep
I keep my eyes wide open
I am machine
A part of me
Wishes I could just feel something
I am machine
I never sleep
Until I fix what's broken
I am machine
A part of me
Wishes I could just feel something.
The song "I Am Machine" by Three Days Grace speaks about the feeling of being emotionally numb and disconnected from one's own humanity. The lyrics in the song suggest that, even though being human can be tough, it is better than being a machine that cannot feel anything. The idea of suffering making one's existence worthwhile is embodied by the phrase "There's beauty in the bleeding." The lyrics reveal that the singer is aware that they are unable to feel emotions like a human and longs for a place where they can fit in and belong.
The chorus repeats the phrase, "I am machine" and implies that the singer has been reduced to a robotic function of fixing what is broken without any emotions or drive. The repetition of the phrase highlights that idea that the singer is trapped in that state and cannot break out of it. They know that they are missing out on something intangible, a feeling that they cannot even name, and desperately wishes that they could experience it. The ending of the song concludes with a sad note, as the singer resigns themselves to their fate yet yearns to feel something more.
