AUTOMATIC
God Or Julie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm alone in the middle when I needed a friend
As I lose when I'm winning 'cause it still never ends
All alone
You're not the problem, but you're where it begins
And I'm not the reason that you left in the end
But I'm still coming over if it happens again
Goin' at it again
I'm a mistake
Melodramatic kid
Let me know if you care
Make it somewhat important
Whisper warnings
Feel like it's tragic
And I'm automatic, and I'm automatic again
Lying on the ceiling looking down at the floor
'Cause things just aren't looking up anymore
Got a bottle in my hand but I forgot what its for
All alone
Stop what you're doing and pretend you can care
Stop what I'm doing and pretend that I care
Give me one more chance to pretend that you're here
All alone
Goin' at it again
I'm a mistake
Melodramatic kid
Let me know if you care
Make it somewhat important
Whisper warnings
Feel like it's tragic
And I'm automatic, and I'm automatic again
I don't care if it's all my fault
It doesn't mean I can't change
I don't care if it's all my fault
It doesn't mean I can't complain
Goin' at it again
I'm a mistake
Melodramatic kid
Let me know if you care
Make it somewhat important
Whisper warnings again
Goin' at it again
I'm a mistake
Feel like it's tragic
And I'm automatic, and I'm automatic again
Oh, again
Oh, again
The song "Automatic" by God or Julie communicates a story of a person who has been lonely, lost, and stuck in a never-ending cycle of defeat. The first verse begins with the individual facing darkness and falling, highlighting that they have nobody to support them when they need it the most. Although they win, they are still losing as the cycle of loneliness and abandonment continues. The second verse reveals that the singer is not the cause of someone leaving but is willing to come over if they leave again. The chorus highlights the singer's internal struggle with being melodramatic and making mistakes repeatedly, they feel like it's tragic, and they are automatic - they act without thinking. The middle part of the song highlights the singer's struggle to understand their own feelings and the absence of meaning. The final chorus reveals the singer's realization that it's okay to make mistakes as long as they learn from them.

Things still feel terrible and I don't know how to fix them
Whisper warnings again
Please give me a heads up before things go wrong again
And I'm automatic, and I'm automatic again

Goin' at it again
I'm stuck in the same rut and it's really getting old
Oh, again
I'm just stuck in this loop without a way out
Oh, again
I'm just repeating my mistakes over and over again
