AUTOMATIC
Nicki Minaj & Tearri Marie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm a monster on the floor, I can't quit
No no it's automatic, it's automatic
It's automatic I'm a run away train
And it's likely that I tear up this place, When I go I go hard
I'mma show you bizarre tonight, tonight(ni-i-ight)
It's automatic my condition's unknown
There's no remedy and no antidote
I can't control the way I'm movin' my hips, Bet you never ever seen me like this
I'm a monster on the floor I can't quit
No no it's automatic, it's automatic(Eh...)
It's automatic(eh...), it's automatic
It's automatic some might call it insane
I assure you I'll be stuck in your brain, You'll be falling for me boy, yeah
Just like a domino tonight tonight(ni-i-ight)
It's automatic when I'm rockin' the beat
Systematically I'm droppin' your heat, It's just the way that I am
Nicki Nicki so bad tonight tonight (night)
I can't control the way I'm movin' my hips, Bet you never ever seen me like this
I'm monster on the floor I can't quit
No no it's automatic(eh...), it's automatic(eh...) It's automatic
Press rewind, p-p-press rewind(It's automatic)
I-I'm Einstein, I'm lookin' for that Einstein Wales, London, Ireland
Scotland I can idle in, South Africa and Brazil
Shut the club down, bring the bill
Ri-ri-ri-ri-ring the bill, Br-bri-bri-bri-bring the bill
Bri-bri-bring the bill, Shut the club down Bring the bill
I can't control the way I'm movin' my hips, Bet you never ever seen me like this
I'm a monster on the floor I can't quit
No no it's automatic(eh...), it's automatic(eh...), it's automatic
The lyrics to Nicki Minaj & Tearri Marie's song "Automatic" are about the uncontrollable and unstoppable energy that the performers feel when they dance. Nicki Minaj starts the song by saying that she can't control the way she moves her hips, and that it's something that's never been seen before. She describes herself as a monster on the dance floor, saying that she can't quit and that it's automatic. She compares herself to a runaway train that's tearing up everything in its path.
As the song continues, she says that her condition is unknown and that there's no remedy or antidote. She's just the way she is, and tonight she's going to show everyone something bizarre. She repeats that it's automatic and that some might call it insane. The chorus is an affirmation that her movement is automatic and beyond her control.
The song's lyrics are essentially about letting go and allowing your body to move in whatever way it wants to. The performers describe their movements as automatic, as if their bodies are possessed and taking over.
