Automatic
Alex O'aiza Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stuck in an endless spiral
A feeling I hold tight to my heart
I can′t quit you now
Don't worry I have people who
Trust my masking smile
I′m just trying to lean on myself for the first time in a while
(Crumbling)
Because of you I'm struggling, crumbling
(Crumbling)
I′m switching to automatic
Every single place and person
Speaks of a guiding light
I can′t grasp what it feels or looks like
To be on the other side
I've courted many habits In my time, none as bad as you
I′m just trying to lean on myself for the first time in a while
Because of you I'm spiraling, crumbling
(Crumbling)
Because of you I′m struggling, crumbling
(Crumbling)
I'm switching to automatic
Because of you I′m spiraling, crumbling
(Crumbling)
Because of you I'm struggling, crumbling
(Crumbling)
I'm switching to automatic
The lyrics in Alex O'aiza's song "Automatic" explore the struggles of addiction and dependency. The opening lines reveal a sense of loneliness and hopelessness, as the singer is trapped in an "endless spiral" of boredom and waste. The line "I can't quit you now" suggests that the singer is referring to a person or substance that they are dependent on despite the negative consequences.
The phrase "switching to automatic" serves as the chorus of the song and seems to represent a resignation to the addiction or dependency. The lines "Because of you I'm spiraling, crumbling" and "Because of you I'm struggling, crumbling" express the singer's desperation and sense of powerlessness in the face of this force that is destroying them. The repetition of the word "crumbling" emphasizes the physical and emotional toll that this addiction is taking on the singer.
The final lines of the song suggest a glimmer of hope as the singer acknowledges their need to rely on themselves rather than their addiction. This admission of vulnerability and desire for self-sufficiency is powerful and suggests that the singer may be on the path to recovery.

I′m switching to automatic
As a result of you, I'm collapsing and having difficulties. I'm now switching to autopilot mode.
Every single place and person
Speaks of a guiding light
I can′t grasp what it feels or looks like
To be on the other side
Everyone and everything speak of a bright future, but I do not comprehend the experience of reaching it.
I've courted many habits In my time, none as bad as you
I've had several addictions throughout my life, but none have been as harmful as you.
