ORIGINAL LOVE Lyrics

In these lyrics, the singer describes waking up on a hard bed and looking at themselves in the mirror while washing their hands. They compare their restless soul to a file, struggling at the depths of their eyes. They express the feeling of using up another short day and then heading to the factory, wiping away sweat covered in oil under clear skies. They have a daily lunch routine, rushing to eat faster than anyone else. They feel tied down by a life that can easily be replaced and are urged to spin like a wheel, but at the same time, they grind to a halt. They are told to laugh like a machine and groan until they reach their grave. The repetitive phrase "Bound Up in my Work" suggests being trapped in their job.

The lyrics then shift to the perspective of the singer as the "Dancing Fossil Ape Man." They reflect on the countless sparks of fire that have been submerged in history from their ancestors' past until today. They feel alone, with no one knowing or remembering these sparks. They are called to spin like a wheel, but also to creak to a stop. They should laugh like a machine and groan until reaching their grave. Finally, they are told to quickly remove the wheel and throw it away, running like a machine, rolling alone on the streets.

Overall, these lyrics delve into the theme of feeling trapped in a monotonous and replaceable life, comparing it to the mechanical nature of a wheel or a machine. The singer wants to break free from this routine and be seen, acknowledged, and remembered. They express a desire for more purpose and meaning in their life, rather than being confined to the repetitive nature of work.
