Dead Walking Machine
Adam Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I need silence, now more than before
I need joy, even when I fall
Everything I ever loved is dying
Don't die on me
An everlasting pray for fool to cry
Eternity is my impurity

Dead Walking Machine (x4)

Do you really belive
That one day I will be able to forgive?

Do you really belive
That time will heal my disease?

Do you really belive
That time will heal my wounds?

In the deepest scars you ever saw
they will turn





Dead Walking machine (x4)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Dead Walking Machine" by Adam's song offer a unique insight into the emotional turmoil that the singer, presumably Adam, is experiencing. The lines start with an appeal for silence, perhaps indicating that Adam is overwhelmed by external noise or internal thoughts. He then expresses a desire for joy, suggesting that despite his pain, he is still searching for meaning and happiness. Adam then acknowledges the mortality of everything he loves and begs for it to remain by his side. The following lines, "An everlasting prayer for fool to cry, eternity is my impurity" are quite reflective, indicating Adam's desperation to fix something that might be impossible to fix, and his guilt for even trying.


The chorus of the song consists of the lines "Dead Walking Machine," repeated several times, creating a haunting and constant reminder that part of him may already be gone. The three verses that follow each start with the same question, "Do you really believe," which hints at Adam's disbelief in the platitudes that people offer to make him feel better. The affirmation of the inevitability of the transformation "the deepest scars you ever saw will turn" acknowledges Adam's awareness of the impact of time on wounds, but at the same time, it suggests surrender.
