Technical Abortion
Blood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The world's full of computized things
See the wash machine, look at the record player
None has been made by hand
You buy the things and all looks good
But you mustn't wait too long
To see the shit technical abortion
Now you only can throw them away
No mechanic could help you
It's too complicated for all
It looks like programmed bombs inside the appliances
That blow up after the guarantee is lapsed
In "Technical Abortion," Blood is warning the listener about the dangers of relying too heavily on technology. The song starts off by urging the listener to take a closer look at the world around them and notice how much of it is driven by machines and computers. Blood cites examples like wash machines and record players, noting that none of these things were made by hand anymore.
At first, everything seems great - you buy these things and they work perfectly. But Blood warns the listener not to get too comfortable, as it won't be long before they start to break down. The fully automated nature of these machines means that when they do break, they are often beyond repair. The song suggests that this is intentional - that companies are building in programmed obsolescence so that people will have to buy new things rather than fixing the old ones.
Blood suggests that this push towards technology has a dark side, referring to "programmed bombs" inside appliances that will blow up once the guarantee is lapsed. This paints a picture of a dystopian future in which people are trapped in a cycle of buying and replacing technology that they don't really need. Overall, the song is a warning not to let ourselves be taken in by the allure of shiny new gadgets and to be wary of the true cost of relying on technology.
Line by Line Meaning
Go and see the technical evolution
Observe and witness the advancements in technology
The world's full of computized things
The world is filled with computerized items
See the wash machine, look at the record player
Take note of the washing machine and the record player
None has been made by hand
None of these items were handmade
You buy the things and all looks good
When you purchase these items, they initially appear to be in good condition
But you mustn't wait too long
However, one shouldn't wait long to realize their true nature
To see the shit technical abortion
To witness the poorly made, malfunctioning technology
Now you only can throw them away
These items are no longer repairable and must be discarded
Mystic sounds of your TV extreme heat of your rack
The strange noises your TV makes, and the excessive heat from different electronic devices
No mechanic could help you
No technician can repair these devices
It's too complicated for all
The devices are too complex for anyone to understand and fix
It looks like programmed bombs inside the appliances
The internal workings of these devices feel like ticking time bombs
That blow up after the guarantee is lapsed
These devices tend to break down after the warranty has expired
