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.

Machine Girl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
While all the drugs are curing me
While I can forget everything I wanna be
Don′t lead into calamity
You know there's nothing left of me
While I can forget everything I wanna be
I feel the light inside of me
Too late, it′s done, no hope for me
I kill the lie
They say "Goodbye"
Stagnation, I hate this joint
Another set of chores I do for fun
While I can forget everything I wanna be
(I think I need a lobotomy!)
Someday, I will feel no pain
Someday, I'm gonna be okay
Cycle of blood, it's all the same
And then I forget everything I wanna be
Getting a strange reality
Connecting things, I′ve gotta...
Trial, it is the death of me
I think I′ll lose my mind in hysteria, oh
I kill the lie
They say "Goodbye"
Why?
Say "Why?"
Me
I kill myself, not today
Not today, not today, not today, not today
Not today, not today
I kill myself, not today
Not today, not today, not today, not today
Not today, not today
Not today, not today, not today, not today
Not today, not today, not today, not today
Not today, not today, not today, not today
Not today, not
The lyrics of Machine Girl's "うずまき" paint a vivid picture of a person who is struggling with their own identity and purpose in life. The opening lines "Swallow into insanity, while all the drugs are curing me" suggest that the singer is using drugs to forget their problems and find some semblance of peace. The repeated phrase "While I can forget everything I wanna be" underscores the theme of wanting to escape oneself and the pressures of societal expectations. The chorus "I kill the lie, they say goodbye" can be interpreted as the singer killing the falsehoods that society has forced upon them, finally letting go of their past self and moving towards a new version of themselves.
The machine-like repetition in the verses highlights the monotony and boredom of the singer's life, and the desire to break free from the mundanity. The line "Another set of chores I do for fun" speaks to the idea that the singer is so bored with their existence that even their hobbies feel like work. The bridge "Someday, I will feel no pain, someday, I'm gonna be okay" suggests that the singer has an idea of what they want to become and believes that they can one day achieve it.
The final repeated lines "I kill myself, not today, not today" can be interpreted as the singer acknowledging that while they may need to kill off their old self and start anew, they are not ready to leave this world just yet. It showcases the desire for change and renewal, while also exhibiting a glimmer of hope for the future.

Me
I am the only one who can overcome my addiction

I will not give up and let addiction win
