Automaton
Cyne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tanks rolling through the city
Misery inclining
Planes speeding overhead
Bombs through ya climate
Rushing to destruction
With apocalypse now
Guns in the rice sack
Lucifer coming down
What happened to the memo
Got damn you hear the missile
Whistling Dixie tipsy instrumental
Hello
Meet the pusher
My name is pestilence
Death on the pale horse
Hope is so irrelevant
Get to the picture
Hellholes opening enter
Brimstone filling the air
Build the temple
Sacrifice life
Enter the Antichrist
Enter the gigabyte
Super computer right
Scan ya bar-codes
Slave to your bravado
Doomo arigatou, Mr. Robato
Order love online with good credit
Don't wanna hear people so leave a text message
Behold a pale horse
Come on isn't it beautiful
Lets ride till we die cause death is so suitable
They jumping off a cliff so damn I want to do it to
Fuck my name from now on I'm number thirty two
Dash six seven oh nine wrapped in cellophane
Cell phone glued to my head
Speed dial my brain

Hello
Meet the automatons
Humanoid beings that want to do what you do
Xerox copy of living is so true to
Them
That's all they know

Cleaver ring tones define me

Dead roses presented to wastelands are frozen
Hello mother nature
Raped ya
Death is chosen
Push the button glutton cause something's got to give
Fuck social security nothings left for kids
You're peeing on my leg and telling me that's its raining
Tune in at seven
Pain is entertainment
Put on my red tie and have a power lunch
Fuck the fundraiser
Meeting at Starbucks
And uhhh...

Shaking shackles off
Run marathons with my ankles all twisted in this jigsaw puzzle
Can you put your self at the realm
I'm like Jesse at the helm throw speech on the podium while trooping like Napoleon
One hand on my belly not
Cowboy hat nigga word might lick shot
I'm Marcus on the chariot
Red, black and green supa dupa man fight machine




Gun zap your team right back to once upon a...
snap out of it

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Automaton" by CYNE are a reflection on the state of the world and humanity's role in it. The imagery of tanks rolling through the city, planes speeding overhead, and bombs falling on the climate create a sense of imminent destruction. The lyrics suggest that humanity has rushed towards this destruction with weaponry and violence, with the devil himself coming down to wreak havoc. The line "enter the Antichrist, enter the gigabyte" could be interpreted as a commentary on the increasing dependence on technology and the negative consequences that can come with it.


The chorus of the song speaks of automatons, humanoid beings that want to do what humans do, but are only copies of living. This could be a metaphor for the way in which humans have become robotic in their actions, blindly following societal norms without questioning their own existence. The lyrics suggest that humanity has caused destruction to the planet, with mother nature being raped and death being chosen. The final lines of the song seem to call for a wake-up call, telling listeners to snap out of it and take control of their own lives.
