Automaton
Jamiroquai Lyrics

Am I love?
I am unsure about my feelings and whether I am capable of love.

Every heart is beating
Everyone is capable of feeling and expressing love.

I'm all love
I am consumed by the idea of love and constantly seeking it out.

Can't you feel me feeling?
I am so passionate about my emotions that I wish others could feel them as well.

Take my hand
I am offering comfort and support to another person.

Cold like a junkie
I feel emotionally disconnected and desperate for something to fill the void.

I'm an ice cold man
I appear stoic and unfeeling, but it is just a mask for the pain I am experiencing.

Why am I crying for you?
I am confused and overwhelmed by my emotions and unsure about why I am feeling this way.

All this love I felt for you
I once loved someone deeply and passionately.

Has gone away to another place
My love has faded or disappeared.

I put my faith in a digital world where they've given me
I have placed my trust and reliance on technology and machines to fill the emotional void.

Eyes without a face
I am relying on technology to see for me, but it is not the same as experiencing things in person.

I'd steal the moon, on silver nights
I am capable of doing anything in pursuit of my desires and passions.

Remind myself I am someone
I am trying to reaffirm my sense of personal identity and worth.

My soul is numb and void tonight
I am feeling empty and unfulfilled.

(I'm automaton)
I am feeling robotic and disconnected from my emotions.

I'm so tough
I appear confident and strong, but it is just a facade.

Can't you see me running
I am trying to escape from my feelings or problems.

See I can touch
I am capable of reaching out and connecting with others, but it is difficult for me.

Can you feel me coming?
I am trying to connect with someone, but I am not sure if they are receptive to my advances.

I see the world
I am aware of the world around me and the problems and struggles faced by others.

And cry for freedom
I wish for more freedom and independence in my life.

These metal eyes, they can't disguise
Technology and machines cannot hide my true feelings and emotions.

The fact that I
I am acknowledging a difficult or uncomfortable truth.

(I need something to believe in)
I am searching for a sense of purpose or greater meaning in my life.

But then I'm dying for you
I still long for the person I once loved, even though my feelings have faded or disappeared.

I said goodbye to the world I knew
I have left behind my past and familiar life to pursue something new or different.

And took off into inner space
I am exploring myself in a deeper way, beyond just physical surroundings.

Weren't you the ones who promised me
I am addressing someone or something that I had placed my trust in, but feel let down by.

A very different place
I had hoped for something different or better than what I experienced.

I've powered up, get my program set
I am trying to take control of my life and set my own direction.

And tilt my head toward the sun
I am looking towards the future with optimism and hope.

Inside I know, I'm null and void
Despite my efforts to change, I still feel empty and unfulfilled inside.

Hey, you got me down underground
Someone or something has caused me to feel trapped or isolated.

Getting holed up in my cyber lounge
I am spending too much time immersed in technology and machines, neglecting real human connections.

As if I had time to break that down
I am too busy or overwhelmed to deal with all of the issues in my life.

(Automaton)
I am still feeling robotic and disconnected from my emotions.

Whatever you can do I can override it
I am attempting to take control of my life and make my own decisions, regardless of what others may say or think.

Got a million ways to synthesize it
I have many different options and paths to choose from in my life, and I am trying to find the right one.

Digital android, I can fight it
I am capable of fighting against the robotic and mechanical aspects of modern life and reclaiming my humanity.

(Fi-fi-fi-fight it out)
I am determined to fight against the forces that are trying to control or suppress me.

Feel like a man, who fell to earth
I feel like I am an outsider or alien in this world, and am not sure where I fit in.

That this is not where I belong
I feel like I am meant for something more or different than the life that I am currently living.

They rule my life from a metal box, that's windowless
I feel like technology and machines have taken over my life in a way that is oppressive and suffocating.

And I wonder, where it all goes wrong
I am struggling to understand why my life has gone off course or why I feel so lost.

Maybe this dream will stay alive
I am hopeful that my aspirations and desires will not fade away.

But can the madness be undone?
I am uncertain if it is possible to change the direction of my life or get back what I have lost.

Am I the new intelligence?
I am questioning whether technology is outpacing humanity and whether artificial intelligence will take over.

(I'm automaton, I'm automaton)
I am still feeling robotic and disconnected from my emotions.

(I'm automaton)
I am feeling robotic and disconnected from my emotions.

You know I need something
I am reaching out for help or support from others.

I can hold on to
I am seeking something stable and reliable in my life.

Hold on to
I am trying to cling to the things that give my life meaning and purpose.

You were all I knew
Someone or something was a major part of my life and gave me a sense of identity and purpose.
