Goose reflects on formative friendships, growing up, and growing apart. Alix takes pride in bringing friends along on the journey with her, enlisting her close friends to collaborate on every aspect of the project including the recording process, visuals, and in some cases, as a source of genuine inspiration.
Page has matured and refined her sound while also broadening her range of influences, citing inspiration from the likes of Alex G, Sheryl Crow, Mitski, Taylor Swift, and Bruce Springsteen. Her sentimentality shines through in her attention to detail, whether it’s describing her hometown, recalling a tearful phone call with an ex, or mentioning LA neighborhoods and car models by name. Goose is hopeful, heartfelt, made with friends for friends, and tied up with a bow.
The five-song EP is the precursor to Alix’s debut North American 2023 headline tour, The Hatchling Tour, with UK & EU headline dates to be announced this summer.
Automatic
Alix Page Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is that enough
I fucked up I know it's all my fault
Wreck my plans
Waste my time
Watch me lose my mind and lose it all
Oh my god
I bet I'd do it again and again and again
And I'd fuck with your head
In the end
You'd regret
That you let me back in
To your space
What a shame
It's just what happens
It's automatic
Coffees cold
No one's home
Now I'm all alone and I'm so bored
There's nothing like the back and forth of push and pull that leaves you wanting more
Can't ignore it
I don't want to try to be your friend
I wanna do it again, and again and again
I'll be stuck in your head
In the end
You'd regret
The first day that we met
At your place
What a shame
This always happens
It's automatic
Automatic
It's automatic
It's automatic
It's automatic hmm
The lyrics of "Automatic" by Alix Page reflect a sense of self-awareness and regret in a tumultuous relationship. The singer acknowledges their mistakes and takes responsibility for the turmoil they have caused. They express a desire for forgiveness and a longing to be given another chance, even though they recognize that their actions have consequences.
The opening lines convey a sense of guilt and self-blame. The singer acknowledges that they have messed up and that they are aware that it is entirely their fault. The phrase "wreck my plans, waste my time" suggests that their actions have disrupted the stability and direction in their life, leading to a loss of control and sanity. The exclamation "Oh my god" highlights the intensity of their emotions and possibly the realization of the mess they have created.
As the song progresses, the lyrics focus on the addictive nature of the relationship. The repeated line "Even though I meant the things I said, I bet I'd do it again and again and again" suggests that despite the pain caused, the singer would willingly repeat their actions. It implies a cycle of toxicity that they are unable to escape. The phrase "push and pull that leaves you wanting more" represents the conflicting emotions and dynamics in the relationship, emphasizing the allure of the constant back and forth.
The chorus reinforces the theme of inevitability in the relationship. The word "automatic" is repeated multiple times, symbolizing the idea that the patterns they find themselves in are unavoidable. Despite their desire to change, there is a sense of resignation, as if they are trapped in a cycle they cannot break free from.
Overall, "Automatic" explores the complexities of a destructive relationship, addressing themes of guilt, regret, addiction, and the inevitable patterns that can emerge.

If I show up
If I make an effort to be there
Is that enough
Is my presence sufficient
I fucked up I know it's all my fault
I made a mistake and take full responsibility
Wreck my plans
Ruining my carefully laid out intentions
Waste my time
Wasting precious moments
Watch me lose my mind and lose it all
Witness the deterioration of my sanity and everything I had
Oh my god
Expressing astonishment and frustration
Even though I meant the things I said
Despite my genuine intentions behind my words
I bet I'd do it again and again and again
I am confident that I would repeat my actions
And I'd fuck with your head
And I would manipulate your thoughts and emotions
In the end
Ultimately
You'd regret
You would feel remorse
That you let me back in
Regretting the decision to allow me into your life again
To your space
Into your personal environment
What a shame
What a disappointment or pity
It's just what happens
It is a recurring pattern
It's automatic
It happens instinctively or without conscious thought
Coffees cold
The coffee is no longer hot
No one's home
There is no one present
Now I'm all alone and I'm so bored
Now I am lonely and feeling uninterested
There's nothing like the back and forth of push and pull that leaves you wanting more
There is no experience comparable to the give and take that creates anticipation for more
Can't ignore it
I cannot disregard or overlook it
I don't want to try to be your friend
I am not interested in attempting to become your friend
I wanna do it again, and again and again
I desire to repeat this experience numerous times
I'll be stuck in your head
I will occupy your thoughts
The first day that we met
From the initial day we encountered each other
At your place
At your location or residence
What a shame
How unfortunate
This always happens
This situation occurs repeatedly
It's automatic
It occurs without conscious thought or effort
Automatic
Instinctive or without deliberate consideration
It's automatic
It happens instinctively or without conscious thought
It's automatic
It occurs without conscious thought or effort
It's automatic hmm
It happens instinctively or without deliberate consideration, contemplating it

If I show up, is that enough?
I fucked up, I know it's all my fault (all my fault)
(All my fault, all my fault, all my fault)
Wreck my plans, waste my time
Watch me lose my mind and lose it all (lose it all)
Oh my God (oh my God, oh my God)
Even though I meant the things I said
I bet I'd do it again
And again and again
And I'd fuck with your head
In the end, you'd regret
That you let me back in
To your space, what a shame
It's just what happens
It's automatic
Coffee's cold, no one's home
Now I'm all alone, and I'm so bored
(I'm so bored, I'm so bored)
(I'm so bored, I'm so bored)
There's nothing like the back and forth
The push and pull, that leaves you wanting more (wanting more)
Can't ignore it (can't ignore, can't ignore)
I don't wanna try to be your friend
I wanna do it again
And again and again
I'll be stuck in your head
In the end, you'll regret
The first day that we met
At your place, what a shame
It's just what happens
It's automatic
It's automatic
It-, it's automatic
Ooh, ah-ha, mhm
It's automatic
It's automatic
Ooh-ooh
