To a Blood Red Sky
Man.Machine.Industry Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah

You left me in the cold

I was waitin' to see what you said again
You bring me above (you bring me above)
Straight mischief in my head again, oh (my head)

Sometimes I realize I really need to get away
Some things I regret, I wish I could incinerate

Life's full of lies, and then you damn die
I thought we were in sync, but I misread the signs
I was such a fool to think I could make you mine

You left me in the cold

I was waitin' to see what you said again
You bring me above (Yeah, yeah)
Straight mischief in my head again, oh (Mischief in my head)

Sometimes I realize that I really need to get away
Some nights, my mind has thoughts that I wish I could incinerate
Life sells lies you should never buy
I got side effects, they never ever die

I was waitin' to see what you said again (What you said again)
You bring me above (You bring me above)
Straight mischief in my head again, oh
(Mischief in my head)
Oh, oh

Today, I saw a dotted line with your signature on the contract
Your soul is no longer mine, you saw Lucifer and made contact

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "To a Blood Red Sky" by Man.Machine.Industry reflect on the aftermath of a relationship that has gone sour. The singer is frustrated with their partner's behavior and feels like they have been left in the cold because of it. The first verse of the song conveys the sense of betrayal the singer feels, while the chorus suggests that they are trying to let go of their feelings for their partner. The chorus repeats the line "You bring me above" which suggests that their partner had once lifted them up but is now causing them chaos and mischief.

The second verse delves deeper into the singer's psyche as they struggle with regret and frustration brought on by false promises and a feeling of misreading the signs. The lyrics "I thought we were in sync, but I misread the signs / I was such a fool to think I could make you mine" convey a sense of disillusionment and lost hopes. The final stanza reveals an intriguing change in focus as the singer expresses their feeling of losing their partner's soul to Lucifer. This sudden shift illuminates the dark undercurrents of the song and suggests that the singer's relationship was not only destructive on a psychological level but possibly even sinister.
