Automatic
Big Data Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I feel so much better today
Now that you're mine
Couldn't do it alone
And I never will again

You're my eyes, my feet and my hands
The thoughts in my mind
I don't even have to try
You make me better than I am
Than I am
So much better than I

Automatic
I give up, give up
Here I am, don't you want me to do it again
(It's automatic, it's automatic)
Here I am, 'cause you need me to do it again
(It's automatic, it's automatic)

I feel so much lighter today
Now that there's time
Can't remember my name
But you can tell me who I am

There's no shame in making it easy (when it's not easy)
I don't even have to try
You do it better than I can
Than I can
So much better than I

Automatic
I give up, give up
Here I am, don't you want me to do it again
(It's automatic, it's automatic)
Here I am, 'cause you need me to do it again
(It's automatic, it's automatic, all let go)
I'm ready (I know)
If you let me (take control)
Just forget it, it's so automatic

(Ah, ah, ah, ah)
(Automatic)
(Ah, ah, ah, ah)
(Automatic)

I'll be the one to make your heart beat right (ah, ah, ah, ah)
Walk you in circles, I'll speak your mind (ah, ah, ah, ah, automatic)
I'll breathe your air to make you feel alive (ah, ah, ah, ah
Hoo, ooh-ooh (ah, ah, ah, ah, automatic)
I'll be your feeling, your skin and bones (ah, ah, ah, ah)
Pay your attention, be your house and home (ah, ah, ah, ah, automatic)
I'll keep your company, you'll never be alone (ah, ah, ah, ah)

(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ahh)
Automatic
I give up, give up (give up, give up)
Here I am, don't you want me to do it again
(It's automatic, it's automatic)
Here I am, 'cause you need me to do it again
(It's automatic, it's automatic, all let go)
I'm ready (I know)
If you let me (take control)
Just forget it, it's so automatic





I feel so much better today
Now that you're mine

Overall Meaning

The song "Automatic" by Big Data features lyrics that convey a sense of dependence on someone else. The singer expresses gratitude for this person, stating that they make them feel better and they cannot do it alone. They are not only grateful for their physical presence but also for their ability to improve their mental and emotional state. The lyrics suggest that this person has become integral to the singer's functioning, as they are the "eyes, feeling, and hands" that guide them through life.


The repeated phrase "it's automatic" implies that this dependence has become second nature and reflexive. The singer appears resigned to this fact and urges their partner to let them take control, assuring them that they will never be alone. The song ends on a positive note, with the singer stating that they feel better now that their partner is mad, suggesting that there may be a sense of passion and conflict in their relationship. Overall, "Automatic" portrays a complex dynamic between two individuals, one of which has become all-encompassing in the other's life.

Single-handed, this track, convinced me to pick up a handful of tickets to experience this live. 

Didn't really pay too much attention while listening to the album.
Started humming throughout the day unaware where I remember the melody from.
Get home and punch in the lyrics I can muster.
It's Big Data?
"Man this song would be awesome live."
Look up if they ever come near me... JULY 25!?!
Buy a handful of tickets, worry about who is going later
See you at the O.C. Fair!

Seriously though, this track is absolutely phenomenal.  Best on the album, which is great by the way.

How come you guys aren't more famous? It absolutely boggles my mind. I was hooked on you guys since i heard dangerous on sirus xm. Keep up the good work!
  

CabingirlWI

Glad I found them on Alt Nation. LOVE this band!

Rabbit0

I know how you feel. Dangerous just randomly popped up. Really glad it did

choycalicious

In case you don't know how well this is written, this song can be about:
-The interconnectedness of devices, as the interview says
-Victims of abuse
-The body-mind connection during dissociation and/or the different levels of the mind during mental health episodes

Kerry William Stapleton

Most obviously the second one

Alejo Tassile

Probably the third one

Just for fun, I like to think that it's about how you can plant an idea I have your mind and it "automatically" turns into a reality.
