Blackout
Machine Driven Sun Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nobody calls my name, I'm all alone here
So dissociative that I don't even feel the pain
And I'm seeking for my own path here alone, yeah
Noone to tell me how to cope with all the demons down below
Nobody to fix anything for me

All I see, so overwhelming to me
This trip is takin' me to Home, Home of my fear with no control
This trip is takin' me to paradise, where I feel calmness
But anywhere I fly or flow, my life will always be my show
I hope to come back as a different person

I'll hold my breath until I blackout
Will the world be changed before I wake up

Why does it get so hard sometimes when all the hope seems to be gone
I need my body to relax, but I feel SHIVER
I closed myself in a glass cage, swallowed the key and cannot break
The walls, but everything inside me seems to be so broken
And all the glances at my fear, no one to see it when it's still
Painted in blue and hidden behind all perception
Noone to see my weakness point, no one to know when I'm destroyed
The armour works so good, It's crafted by the best one for me

I'll hold my breath untill I blackout
Will the world be changed before I wake up
Will you find me there before I pass out
Will I find my soul before I die inside

I'll hold my breath until I blackout
Will the world be changed before I wake up

From all delusions and just another perspective
Again I choosed a path that leads me to the nowhere, that leads me to the nowhere
Give me the answer, I'll give you mine, let's leave the questions far behind
I'm gonna swallow the blue pill now

The blue pill

I'll hold my breath untill I blackout
Will the world be changed before I wake up




Will you find me there before I pass out
Will I save my soul before I die inside

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Machine Driven Sun's song Blackout describe the feeling of being completely alone, disconnected from the world and dealing with one's own demons. The singer is seeking their own path, without anyone to guide them through the darkness. The first verse talks about dissociation, feeling alienated from the world, and not feeling any pain. The singer feels overwhelmed by their surroundings and the journey they are on. They hope that this experience will transform them into a different person and they will return with a new outlook on life.


The chorus expresses the idea of holding one's breath until they blackout, hoping that the world will change by the time they wake up. The singer feels like they are stuck in a glass cage, unable to break free, and everything inside is broken. They are desperate for someone to see their pain but no one is there to help. The armor they have built around themselves is preventing anyone from seeing their vulnerabilities and destroyed state. The last verse talks about choosing a path that leads to nowhere, leaving behind questions and seeking answers. The singer takes the blue pill, symbolizing their decision to accept the truth, no matter how painful it may be.

As far as the visual aspect is concerned, I would love to see more consistent outfits and some crazy scenic moves, face expressions and scary looks - not only from the vocalist, but also other members of the band. The charisma should be visible at first sight and I believe this would help you so much! But otherwise, I love your music and the vocal is so good I can't even express it. I see some good potential here! Good luck and well have fun with it, go wild! <3
