The Machine
Sisters Of Suffocation Lyrics

Every day we wake up
Each morning, we open our eyes and get ready to face another day.

in the same room
We live and work in the same place day after day, with no variation in our environment.

To have a day like yesterday
We follow a repetitive routine that makes every day feel indistinguishable from the one before it.

And so it will go on
We expect our monotonous way of life to continue indefinitely.

Everything is scheduled
Our activities are predetermined and tightly controlled, leaving no room for spontaneity or creativity.

We obey the clock
We structure our lives around the clock, allowing external forces to dictate our daily rhythms.

We are all components
We are each a small part of a larger system that functions according to pre-established rules and expectations.

Of the big machine
The system we inhabit is complex, intricate, and often inhuman in its demands and requirements.

That we call reality
This system is the only reality we know, and we are unable or unwilling to imagine living outside of its constraints.

Don’t dare to demean
We are afraid to question the system or to suggest that there might be other ways of living that are more fulfilling and meaningful.

We’re all slaves
We are not free to make our own choices or to live according to our own desires and interests.

We think we have worth
Despite our lack of autonomy, we cling to the belief that we are valuable and important in some way.

But we are just existing
In reality, our lives are predetermined and limited, devoid of any real purpose or meaning beyond simply surviving.

Marching in line to the grind like a slave
We follow our daily routine like automatons, with no joy, passion, or sense of fulfillment in our work.

To the grave
Our lives are defined by this never-ending cycle of work and routine, leading ultimately to death and oblivion.

Selling your soul for a price that’s not fair
In exchange for a meager existence within the system, we sacrifice our personal values and our sense of self-worth.

It’s insane
When we step back and realize the true nature of our existence, it is clear how absurd and destructive this way of life truly is.
