Automatic
Nieman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's been keeping me up for days
But love answers in different ways
And I wanna know
What it's gonna take for you to believe me
But it's crystal clear what you can't see
We both just needed the time to get it right
Loving you was always automatic
Silence doesn't have to mean we're static
I hate that I've been wondering
If we're both in the clear
Tell me why you're hung up on the status
Should I even try to understand it
Can't be mad you're leaving if you were never here
Maybe we asked for too much
Or maybe it wasn't enough
I've been gripping water
Chasing the skies but falling under
Whats it gone take for me to believe you
If your walls are so hard to see through
I know we both still need time to get it right
Loving you was always automatic
Silence doesn't have to mean we're static
I hate that I've been wondering
If we're both in the clear
Tell me why you're hung up on the status
Should I even try to understand it
Can't be mad you're leaving if you were never here
Loving you was always automatic
Silence doesn't have to mean we're static
I hate that I've been wondering
If we're both in the clear
Tell me why you're hung up on the status
Should I even try to understand it
Can't believe you're leaving
"Automatic" by Nieman is a song that explores the confusion that can arise from a relationship that has lost its clarity. The song's opening lines reveal that there has been a communication breakdown between the singer and their partner, leaving the singer feeling unsettled and having difficulty sleeping. Despite the lack of clarity, the singer acknowledges that love can have many answers and may manifest in different ways. This understanding is then contrasted with the question of what it will take for their partner to believe in them. The use of "crystal clear" highlights the stark contrast between what is and isn't visible in the relationship.
Throughout the song, the singer grapples with a sense of uncertainty about their partner's feelings and motivations. They express a sense of frustration that their partner seems hung up on "status" rather than the substance of their connection. Despite this, the singer consistently affirms their love for their partner, describing it as "automatic." They suggest that even silence - something that might seem to indicate inertia - doesn't have to be negative or unproductive.
The singer constantly seeks clarity and certainty in their relationship, but ultimately they acknowledge that getting to that point will take time. The song concludes with melancholic resignation as the singer grapples with their own fears that they may have asked for too much, or perhaps not enough.

No we haven't been on the same page
We have not been in agreement
It's been keeping me up for days
I have been troubled by this for days
But love answers in different ways
Love can show itself differently in various situations
And I wanna know
I want to understand
What it's gonna take for you to believe me
What do I need to do for you to trust me?
But it's crystal clear what you can't see
It is obvious to me but not to you
We both just needed the time to get it right
We both needed time to work things out
Loving you was always automatic
I always loved you without thinking about it
Silence doesn't have to mean we're static
We don't have to be stagnant just because we are not talking
I hate that I've been wondering
It bothers me that I have been questioning this
If we're both in the clear
If everything is okay between us
Tell me why you're hung up on the status
Explain to me why you care about status so much
Should I even try to understand it
Is it worth it for me to try to comprehend your viewpoint?
Can't be mad you're leaving if you were never here
I can't be upset if you were never truly present
Maybe we asked for too much
Perhaps we had too high expectations
Or maybe it wasn't enough
Or maybe we did not try hard enough
I've been gripping water
I have been trying to hold on to something that slips away like water
Chasing the skies but falling under
Trying to reach great heights but failing
Whats it gone take for me to believe you
What do you have to do for me to trust you?
If your walls are so hard to see through
If I can't see beyond your barriers
I know we both still need time to get it right
I realize that we both require more time
Loving you was always automatic
I always loved you without thinking about it
Silence doesn't have to mean we're static
We don't have to be stagnant just because we are not talking
I hate that I've been wondering
It bothers me that I have been questioning this
If we're both in the clear
If everything is okay between us
Tell me why you're hung up on the status
Explain to me why you care about status so much
Should I even try to understand it
Is it worth it for me to try to comprehend your viewpoint?
Can't believe you're leaving
It's hard to accept that you're leaving
