Time Machine
Silicon Dream Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
"This is the voice of the time machine
The engine is working
Fasten seatbelts
Check status quo of time
Turn gear level to the time of your choice
Now you are the master of time, time, time..."
Asterix and Obelix
Playing with the roman tricks
Back in Memphis '65
Elvis Presley groovin' live
Maximum power relax and dream
Flying in my time machine
Michael Jackson good and bad
Maggie Thatcher iron cat
Cassius Clay lost his mind
He got Christmas all the time
Shiowangwawawangtuweowangisingatu
Shiowangwawawangtuweowangisingatu
The lyrics of Silicon Dream's "Time Machine" exude a sense of ultimate control and freedom over time. The lines "Turn gear level to the time of your choice, Now you are the master of time, time, time..." indicate that the listener assumes the role of the time master, where they have the power to switch the time gear to any desired era. With the engine of the time machine working, the listener is instructed to fasten their seatbelts as they embark on a journey back in time. References to Asterix and Obelix, Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, Margaret Thatcher, and Muhammad Ali, among others, are made in the song, creating a tapestry of the music, culture, politics, and personalities of different periods of time. The chorus "Maximum power relax and dream, Flying in my time machine" emphasizes the control and leisure offered by the time machine.
The gibberish phrase "Shiowangwawawangtuweowangisingatu" which appears towards the end of the song, is not intended to have any actual meaning. It is an example of glossolalia, a linguistic phenomenon where speakers produce non-lexical and non-semantical sounds. The phrase is included to depict the nonsensical sounds that can be generated by the time machine, further adding to the futuristic, technologies phenomenon of the song.
