English Translation:
I wouldn’t shed blood even though I get hurt
A perfect beauty, a dream-like golden ratio
Her vibrant and fresh hair
Marble-like skin seems surreal woo~
Is she not a doll, does she breathe?
Knowing or not, making a cold smile
She has a heart that beats, she must have a voice
I cannot believe it, look look
You are a cold machine
You are a ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, machine
You are a ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, machine
A beautiful and sharp goddess
You are a ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, machine
You are a ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, machine
Ah! Yeah!
Even though I look at you, I don’t know
Her heart is closed up, a thorough security district
Her firm red lips
And glass-like gaze doesn’t give me a clue woo~
What does she think, does she cry from time to time
Knowing or not, making a cold smile
Does she have feelings, she must be someone who loves
I cannot believe it, look look
You are a cold machine
You are a ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, machine
You are a ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, machine
A beautiful and sharp goddess
You are a ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, machine
You are a ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, machine
(Hey hey) I have to find out
(Hey hey) Yeah you know
Her feelings are locked with a difficult password
A room that is closed for no one to open yeah
Hacking hacking a heart that has been closed, gotta get to her heart
Yeah now (you’ve) woken up
A perfect beauty
Woo now (you’ve) woken up
Look at me who will make her smile
You are a cold machine
You are a ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, machine
You are a ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, machine
A beautiful and sharp goddess

The lyrics of EXO-K's song MACHINE are centered around a beautiful girl who is mysterious and hard to read, almost like a machine. The singer is drawn to her and tries to decipher her emotions, but feels like she is closed off and robotic. He wonders if she even has emotions or if she's just pretending to smile. Despite this, he is determined to understand her and win her heart. The lyrics touch on themes of love, appearance versus reality, and the challenges of understanding and connecting with others.
The lyrics use vivid imagery to describe the girl, painting her as an ethereal beauty with flawless features and a perfect golden ratio. However, this dream-like image is contrasted with the singer's frustration and confusion at her lack of emotion and ability to seemingly shut herself off. This creates a tension between appearance and reality, highlighting the difficulty of truly knowing someone, especially when they seem to have a mask on.
The song's title, MACHINE, plays off of this idea of the girl being robotic or closed off, but also hints at the singer's desire to understand and "hack" into her heart. Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of longing and fascination, as well as the challenge and potential reward of breaking through barriers and connecting with someone on a deeper level.
