Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Huh?
You think you're so fucking tough?
You talk a lotta big game for someone with such a small truck
Aw, look at those arms
Your arms look so fucking cute
They look like lil' cigarettes
I bet I could smoke you
I could roast you
And then you'd love it and you'd text me "I love you" and then I'd fucking ghost you
With the big boys coming with the big stuff
I feel so clean like a money machine, oh yeah
Big boys coming with the big trucks
Feel so clean like a money machine, oh yeah
Big boys coming with the big trucks
Feel so clean like a money machine, oh yeah
Big boys coming with the picture
Feel so clean like a money machine, oh yeah (oh yeah)
Feel so clean, like a money machine
Feel so clean, like a money machine
Feel so clean, like a money machine
Feel so clean, like a money machine
Tell me what's the deal, I've been trying to go to bed
I've been up for days, I've been tryna get ahead
Said it all before, and I'll say it once again
I'm better off alone
Tell me what's the deal, I've been trying to go to bed
I've been up for days, I've been tryna get ahead
Said it all before, and I'll say it once again
I'm better off alone
With the big boys coming with the big stuff
I feel so clean like a money machine, oh yeah
Big boys coming with the big trucks
Feel so clean like a money machine, oh yeah
Big boys coming with the big trucks
Feel so clean like a money machine, oh yeah
Big boys coming with the picture
Feel so clean like a money machine, oh yeah (oh yeah)
Feel so clean, like a money machine
Feel so clean, like a money machine
Feel so clean, like a money machine
Feel so clean, like a money machine
The opening lines of "Money Machine" by 100 gecs is a direct call-out to an individual who thinks they are cool and tough, but in reality, they have a small truck and weak arms. The lyrics are mocking this person, saying that they would look like a cigarette that could easily be smoked or roasted. The singer then goes further, saying that if they did roast the individual, the person would still be all over them, but the singer would just ghost them.
The chorus of the song seems to convey a sense of power and confidence with the use of the phrase 'big boys coming with big stuff' and 'big trucks.' The singer then states that they feel clean like a money machine, reiterating their confidence and power. This possibly reflects the materialistic nature of society, where having wealth and big possessions equates to being powerful and important. The repetition of the phrase "feel so clean like a money machine" is also a reflection of the general repetition in modern pop culture, where catchy phrases and hooks are repeated for emphasis.
The second verse of the song seems to suggest that the singer is tired and has been working hard, but they don't want to be bothered by others. They know they are better off alone and that they have said it all before. This could suggest that the singer is someone in the music industry who is used to criticism from others and has learned to develop a thick skin.
Overall, "Money Machine" by 100 gecs is a commentary on the superficiality and materialism in modern society, and how people use these things to gain power and influence.

Unironically, as a trucker the lyric is kinda relatable so Iβm gonna over analyze it. The track starts out by making fun of people with massive lifted pickups. We truckers are βfeeling so clean in our money machineβ (well maintained semi truck, the machine that makes our money) while looking down at oversized lifted pickups that arenβt even a fraction of our size. Then the lyric goes on to the hard to understand part.
βTell me what's the deal, I've been tryin' to go to bed I've been up for days, I've been tryna get ahead. Said it all before, and I'll say it once again. I'm better off alone.β
This is the super relatable part. Youβre falling behind on a long load with a tight deadline. Coast to coast in just a couple days. Youβre hauling some unimportant junk so youβre wondering what the deal is with the tight deadline. Youβre putting in ridiculous hours behind the wheel just trying to get ahead. Itβs stressing you the heck out and what little time you have to try to sleep you canβt because sleeper cabs arenβt comfortable and youβre super stressed.
Itβs a horrible job but you stick with it because βIβm better off aloneβ. This is one of the only jobs where you never have to come home and if you have a boss you only have to call them a couple times a week. Being a trucker is great for running from your problems.
Then the distorted warbling at the end. Youβve finally made that delivery and youβre taking 12 hours off to rest before your next pickup. Without the road taking your focus you start thinking about what youβre running from. Youβre not moving so your problems are catching up with you. That sound is your mental breakdown as your reality catches up.
