Automatic
P.Keys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From sweet to deranged
What about my voice tells you
Who's been wrong to you
You've got pains
Like an addict
I'm leaving you
Like an addict
10 a.m. automatic
I see darkness cover us
And your car kicks up dust
What about my ways makes you doubt
All these words from my mouth
You've got pains
Like an addict
I'm leaving you
You've got pains
Like an addict
10 a.m. automatic
In P.Keys's song Automatic, the lyrics speak of a relationship that has lost its way. The singer is questioning their partner's sudden change, and how the night seems to bring out a different side of them. They wonder what it is about their voice that signals perceived wrongdoing. The lyrics suggest that the partner may be struggling with addiction or inner turmoil, as they have "pains like an addict" and the singer is "leaving". The line "10 a.m. automatic" implies that this is a repeating cycle, as if the partner is stuck in a routine of self-destructive behavior.
The second verse continues to paint a dark picture, with the imagery of darkness and kicked up dust. The singer wonders what they have done to make their partner doubt them, despite their words of love and commitment. The repeated chorus highlights the theme of addiction, emphasizing the tight grip it can have on a person and the toll it takes on those around them.
