Slave
Man.Machine.Industry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You didn’t have to die
To get away from it
Vanishing faults for truth
Coming undone
I’ll do my best to crawl out of this
Pulling from the vastness
Paint your lies
There’s still tomorrow's dream
Not letting go of anything
Can’t get you to listen
Did my words just not come out right
Our world imploded
So now there’s a hole left inside me
Reeling inside
All hope has gone with time
What could I’ve done
To keep you above with me
What do I do without you
What will tomorrow bring
What do I do without you
I feel I am sinking
When I wake up tomorrow
And this was not a dream
What do I do without you
This cannot be the end
Plagued by the erosion and disguise
You sunk right into disbelief
I showed you empathy
And held on strong to your screams
Patience to the breaking point of life
The emptiness was just to strong
The darkness swallows whole
And we are left here crumbling
Reeling inside
All hope has gone with time
What could I’ve done
To keep you above with me
What do I do without you
What will tomorrow bring
What do I do without you
I feel I am sinking
When I wake up tomorrow
And this was not a dream
What do I do without you
This cannot be the end
I’m sinking
Without you
What do I do without you
What will tomorrow bring
What do I do without you
I feel I am sinking
When I wake up tomorrow
And this was not a dream
What do I do without you
This cannot be the end
I’m sinking
Without you

Our world collapsed or disintegrated
So now there’s a hole left inside me
As a result, an emptiness or void exists within me
Reeling inside
Feeling overwhelmed internally
All hope has gone with time
Over time, all optimism or expectation has faded away
What could I've done to keep you above with me
What actions or efforts could I have made to ensure your presence beside me?
What do I do without you
How can I navigate life without your presence or support?
What will tomorrow bring
What can be anticipated or expected in the upcoming future?
This cannot be the end
This cannot mark the conclusion or termination
Plagued by the erosion and disguise
Suffering from the gradual deterioration and concealment
You sunk right into disbelief
You completely immersed yourself in doubt
I showed you empathy
I expressed understanding and compassion towards you
And held on strong to your screams
I remained steadfast and supportive despite your cries
Patience to the breaking point of life
Exercising patience until the threshold of endurance in life
The emptiness was just too strong
The feeling of emptiness was overwhelming
The darkness swallows whole
The darkness consumes everything entirely
And we are left here crumbling
We are left falling apart or disintegrating
I’m sinking without you
I am descending into despair or misery in your absence
