AUTOMATIC
Ignite Lyrics

The song "Automatic" by Ignite is a reflection on the complexities of modern relationships and the struggle to maintain a connection in a constantly changing world. The first verse suggests that the singer has everything they need, but they are still searching for something deeper. The reference to the chair and mirror may suggest the act of self-reflection, perhaps indicating that the singer is struggling to connect with themselves before they can connect with someone else. The repeated phrase "for your mind" implies that this search is an intellectual one, rather than just physical.

The chorus suggests that the singer is disconnected from their partner, and that they are struggling to find a way to bridge the gap. The line "Kiss the one that is there" implies a sense of resignation, as if the singer is settling for what is available to them rather than what they truly want. The repetition of the lines "how can I be right, when there's nothing you can't be, and nothing that you won't be" suggests a sense of frustration at the inability to truly connect with another person. The following verse "you can be what you feel today doesn't matter, something new is your way" portrays a sense of fleetingness and transience in relationships.

The final verse suggests a sense of helplessness and resignation, and implies that the singer feels trapped and unable to change their circumstances. The reference to the "stain" suggests that they are unable to move on from a past relationship, or that they feel tainted by their experiences. The line "Nothing left in me for me to change" indicates a sense of hopelessness and suggests that the singer may be giving up on the idea of finding a deep connection with someone else.
