Machine Girl, as described by its creator, is a genre-defying musical project characterized as "fucked-up electronic punk". Stephenson rejected the label of "industrial", deeming it too gothic and monochromatic, preferring to view the project as more colorful. Kerrang! recognized Machine Girl as a band pushing the boundaries of hardcore, noting their punk-infused and intense version of breakcore. Pitchfork defined their style as a relentless fusion of punk, grindcore, rave, industrial, and other influences, marked by unpredictability, animalistic rage, and uncontrollable energy.
FUCK UP YOUR FACE
Machine Girl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Facial recognition pandemonium
Insulated for the cameras
Formulated free in...
Its a million trolls and a million guns
A trillion dead with their red eyes up
All we have shown is the cellphones
Get off
Get off
Get off
Get off
Get off
Fuck the system up
You fuck her heart until she cums
'Till she puts her head up till she's stuffed
Stepping out
Into the world stepping out of a prison
Our only chance to escape this
Next level heaven
Fuck up your face
Fuck up your face
Fuck up your face
Fuck up your -
Get off
Get off
Get off
Get off
Get off
Fucking bastard
Steven's last words
Face
Fuck up your face
Fuck up your face
Fuck up your face
Fuck up your face
The song "Fuck Up Your Face" by Machine Girl has a dystopian theme, which talks about the chaos caused by advanced technology and the society's obsession with self-image. The first lines, "Always on the run, Facial recognition pandemonium, Insulated for the cameras," portray our inability to escape the watchful eyes of technology and how it infiltrates every aspect of our lives. The next phrase, "Formulated free in...," indicates the control exerted upon us by this technology, putting the society into a structured form of living that is predetermined by 'the system.'
The lyrics then move to the aftermath of this technology obsession with the lines, "A million trolls and a million guns, A trillion dead with their red eyes up, All we have shown is the cellphones." The singer is condemning the society for their negligence towards the consequences of such a system. The chorus, "Fuck up your face," can be interpreted in different ways, but it is likely saying that it's time to abandon the traditional need to present oneself to the world and opt for a fresh start.
The last few lines are a bit cryptic, but it may be referring to the final words of a person named Steven, who had to pay the price for speaking the truth. The singer might be calling out our political system's fraudulence by using Steven as an example. The song as a whole seems to be urging the listener to rise up against the current societal norms and reclaim their freedom.
