Automatic
AlunaGeorge & Zhu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You need friction, but they try too hard and
Oh, they just don't understand
Too much pressure, it's supply demand
I don't think you know
You open up my eyes, I'm alive
I'm moving to your rhythm and your vibe
Oh darling you are the only one, it's automatic
No one can love the way you do, it's automatic
When you walk in the room you change my mood, it's automatic
It's automatic, it's automatic
Oh darling you are the only one, it's automatic
No one can love the way you do, it's automatic
When you walk in the room you change my mood, it's automatic
It's automatic, it's automatic
Oh, the place that needs my touch
I know you want it, but I can't give too much
So, intoxicated baby
You're in trouble, but you don't need no saving
I don't think you know
You open up my eyes, I'm alive
I'm moving to your rhythm and your vibe
I love it when the night gets started
Oh darling you are the only one, it's automatic
No one can love the way you do, it's automatic
When you walk in the room you change my mood, it's automatic
It's automatic, it's automatic
Oh darling you are the only one, it's automatic
No one can love the way you do, it's automatic
When you walk in the room you change my mood, it's automatic
It's automatic, it's automatic
Huh, higher
Huh, higher
Huh, higher
Huh, higher
Huh, higher
Huh, higher
Huh, higher
Huh, higher
Baby boy, won't you come closer
Baby boy, won't you get closer, to me
It's automatic, it's automatic
It's automatic, it's automatic
It's automatic, it's automatic
In "Automatic," AlunaGeorge and Zhu collaborate to describe the intoxicating rush of attraction that's so strong, it feels completely instinctual. When describing other people who are drawn to each other's energy, the opening lines assert that "some people take it far," but also insist that "they just don't understand." From there, the chorus repeats the phrase "It's automatic" several times to emphasize the strength of the connection, which is described with images of "moving to your rhythm and your vibe" and how when this person enters the room, "you change my mood." The second verse adds a somewhat hesitant note to the excitement, suggesting that while the singer is all-in when it comes to their chemistry, they also have to be cautious not to give too much away. The song ends with an invitation to the object of the singer's affection to move even closer.
