I'm sorry
My Sister's Machine Lyrics

The lyrics to "I'm Sorry" by My Sister's Machine convey a sense of regret and guilt over past mistakes. The singer reflects on their actions and the consequences that followed. The first two lines refer to the "mother of invention," which is a reference to the idea that necessity drives innovation. However, the singer suggests that this invention – in this case, himself – has resulted in negative consequences. Although he had good intentions at the outset, he acknowledges that something went wrong along the way.

The lines "she cut loose and made me / into what you see before you" suggest that there was someone or something else involved in causing the singer to change. This could be interpreted in different ways – perhaps the singer is blaming someone else for his mistakes, or he is acknowledging that he was influenced by others in a negative way. Either way, he takes responsibility for his actions by apologizing to God. The repeated line "I know you hate me" conveys a sense of shame and self-loathing.

The final lines "Greed, envy and deception / what the hell was wrong with me" imply that the singer's actions were motivated by negative emotions. He recognizes that his actions were wrong and that he was at fault. The overall message of the song is a plea for forgiveness and a desire to make amends.
