Miss Kittin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The sequence, the sound, turning knobs upside down
Joy is in the rhythm of the machine
Joy is in the rhythm of the machine
Studio rats in action, lost in the oscillation
A rhythm, a mission, bomb the bass station
Joy is in the rhythm of the machine
Joy is in the rhythm of the machine
Got the words on the rocks in my inspiration box
Got the words on the rocks in my inspiration box
Joy is in the rhythm of the machine
Joy is in the rhythm of the machine
In Miss Kittin's song "Machine Joy," the lyrics speak about being "wasted in wireland," which can be interpreted as feeling lost in the technology-driven world.

The repetition of "Joy is in the rhythm of the machine" reinforces the idea that there is a certain pleasure and excitement that can be found in utilizing technology to create music. The line "Studio rats in action, lost in the oscillation" portrays a certain level of obsession with perfecting the sound, as the singers are immersed in the process of creating. The phrase "bomb the bass station" could be interpreted as a call to make a powerful impact in the music industry.
The last verse reveals that the singer has "words on the rocks" in their "inspiration box," likely referring to lyrics or song ideas that they have kept in reserve for a time when they feel particularly inspired. However, once again, they recognize that the real joy comes from the technology and rhythm of the music. Overall, the lyrics of "Machine Joy" celebrate the power and possibility of music technology while acknowledging the potential pitfalls of getting lost in it.
