Automatic
Ghost and Tape Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
But she don't even know that I'm alive
For her, I'd lie a thousand words
Just to fake a personal disguise
Just like automatics
Oh, my darling's tragic
Yeah, I'd hate to be an addict
For your love
It's just a matter of habit
But ain't it just so tragic
For your love
I think I found something that'll work
To pick myself up off the floor
To drain me of my diffidence
And align me with my innocence
Just like automatics
Oh, my darling's tragic
Yeah, I'd hate to be an addict
For your love
Stuck up in her attic
It's just a matter of habit
But ain't it just so tragic
For your love
I've seen your face a thousand times
I had a dream in which I died
And never did come back to life
I've seen your face a thousand times
I had a dream in which I died
And never did come back to life
Just like automatics
Oh, my darling's tragic
Yeah, I'd hate to be an addict
For your love
Stuck up in her attic
It's just a matter of habit
But ain't it just so tragic
For your love
Hey!
Just like automatics
Oh, my darling's tragic
I would hate to be an addict
For your love
Stuck up in her attic
It's just a matter of habit
But ain't it just so tragic
For your love, your love, your love
Your love, your love
The lyrics of "Automatic" by Ghost and Tape convey a deep sense of unrequited love and longing. The persona expresses feelings of being in love with someone who is seemingly unaware of their existence. The desperation and yearning to be noticed by this person are evident in lines like "For her, I'd lie a thousand words just to fake a personal disguise." This showcases the lengths the persona is willing to go to in order to get the attention and affection of their love interest.
The repeated reference to being "just like automatics" could symbolize feeling like their emotions and actions are automated or involuntary, almost as if they have no control over their feelings towards this person. The repetition of the word "tragic" emphasizes the sense of helplessness and sorrow that comes with unrequited love. The persona acknowledges the potential destructive nature of their feelings, equating it to being like an addict craving the love and attention of the person they desire.
The imagery of being "stuck up in her attic" suggests feeling trapped or isolated in their love for this person, unable to escape the overwhelming emotions that consume them. The mention of habitual behavior further illustrates the idea that their love has become a routine or pattern that they are unable to break free from, despite recognizing the potential harm it may cause them.
The final verses reflect on the persona's recurring dreams of the person they love, even in death. This could symbolize a deep and intense connection to this person that transcends reality, highlighting the all-encompassing nature of their feelings. The song concludes with a sense of resignation and acceptance of the tragic circumstances surrounding their unrequited love, encapsulating the bittersweet essence of yearning for someone who may never return their affections.

Here is something new you probably didn't know even watching this for a million times. Did you hear all these voices?
0:17 "Punk a_ss redneck."
0:29 "Screw John"
0:33 "I'm going through the back door."
0:36 There was obvious distortion on the radio and John replies on the radio, "It seems the radio check is hammered."
0:39 "You do that sh_t to us."
0:42 [John on the radio] "Hey, we ran the shower yesterday, confirm it."
0:46 "Get out!"
0:50 "Hey Mark!"
1:05 "F__k yo momma boy."
1:09 "F__k you."
1:12 "Stop screwing us."
1:16 "So, f__k 'em."
1:20 "F__k yo momma."
1:23 "Arrest him."
1:26 "The restroom."
1:29 Just when John steps into the bedroom, a voice asks "Who are you looking for?"
[Same time, the mist moves out of the room]
1:32 "F__k you John!"
1:34 "Who sent him?"
1:36 "Punk a_ss N___"
1:37 "Abierte!" (Open in Spanish)
1:40 "Punk a_ss N___"
2:03 "F__k you."
2:10 "F__k redneck!"

John is the literal definition of "Fine I'll do it myself"

John was on Thanos mode that time looking for soul stone.

John is the white guy in horror movies for sure. Hears blood curdling screaming, runs headfirst into the situation.
