Slave to the machine
Liv Sin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The smell of greed is all around
And they preach
Don't get too close to their beliefs
Listen up, it's a scam
Pay attention or you're all abused
Don´t give in to their lies
Don't think you're in control
Cause they own your life
They own your soul
Don't buy their brief temptations
You're a slave to the machine
Grief no more
The chance of change has passed your eyes
And you scream
It´s too late now to chase the dream
Listen up, it's a scam
Pay attention or you're all abused
Don´t give in, to their lies
It´s a disharmonic truth
Dont think you´re in control
Cause they own your life
They own your soul
Don't buy their brief temptations
You're a slave to the machine
Never forget, never forget, you're a slave to the machine
Dont think you´re in control
Cause they own your life
They own your soul
Don't buy their brief temptations
You're a slave to the machine
Cause they own you, and they're in control
Never forget, never forget
You're a slave to the machine
The song "Slave to the Machine" by Liv Sin is an empowering anthem that warns listeners against succumbing to the manipulative tactics of those in power. The opening lines immediately set the tone with the description of the "smell of greed" and the sinister "they" who preach their own beliefs, warning listeners not to get too close. The chorus of the song serves as a call to action, urging listeners to wake up to the reality that they are not in control and to resist the temptation to give in to the lies and brief satisfactions of the machine. The repetition of the phrase "you're a slave to the machine" throughout the song reinforces the idea that we are all being controlled in one way or another.
The second verse delves deeper into the sense of hopelessness that can come with facing the truth of the situation. The chance for change may have passed us by, and we may scream in frustration, but it is never too late to resist. The powerful message of the song is that we must not forget that we are being controlled, and we must actively work to resist the trap of the machine.
Overall, "Slave to the Machine" is an empowering and cautionary tale about the dangers of blindly following those in power, and a reminder to take control of our own lives and resist the temptation to become slaves to the machine.
