Machine
Carphax Files Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lift your banner high on a mountain.
Raise your voice, sanctify me.
Behold the noise kingdom of nations
Behold creation and feel the machine.
Your fears amazed, settle in deeper.
Your thoughts escape, destruction is near
Your eyes in shock as it rips to pieces
Your screams announcing torture is here.




Overall Meaning

The opening lines of "Machine" evoke a sense of defiance and rebellion. The "banner" that is to be lifted high on a mountain is likely a metaphor for a cause or ideal that the singer wants to champion. The call to "raise your voice" reinforces this idea of speaking out, of being heard. The phrase "sanctify me" suggests a willingness to be purified or consecrated in the pursuit of this ideal.


The next line, "Behold the noise kingdom of nations," is more ambiguous. It could be a reference to the chaos and discord among nations, or it could be an affirmation of a global community united by noise and music. The following line, "Behold creation and feel the machine," is similarly open to interpretation. It could be a commentary on the relationship between humans and technology, or it could be a celebration of the power and beauty of machines.
