Negative Feedback
Statemachine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take me high why don't you?
Make me sigh why don't you?
Have a try why don't you?
Feel me now
So near you
Feel me now
With these eyes
I strip you
In disguise
I shape you
Negative feedback
Fantasize why don't you?
Dramatize why don't you?
Hypnotize why don't you?
Harmonize why don't you?
Feel me now
So near you
Feel me here
Beside you
In disguise
I shape you
All dressed up
I love you
Negative feedback
I just have to try harder
Negative negative
Your silence can't conceal the fact
That you're negative negative
Your innocent look is what leads me on to your
Negative feedback
I just have to try harder
Sent falling again
Rock bottom for me
On the floor for you
On my hands and knees
Sent falling again
Rock bottom for me
On the floor for you
On my hands and knees
Just like a child again
The lyrics of Statemachine's song "Negative Feedback" seem to be about the complexity of human relationships, specifically the struggles of communication and understanding between two people. The repeated phrases "Make me cry why don't you?" and "Feel me now, so near you" suggest a desire for emotional connection and vulnerability, while the lines "In disguise, I shape you" and "Your innocent look is what leads me on to your negative feedback" imply a sense of manipulation or misunderstanding.
The chorus, with its repeated "negative feedback" phrase, could be interpreted in a few different ways. It may refer to the negative responses and reactions between the two people in the relationship, or to the concept of feedback loops or cycles that perpetuate misunderstandings and hurt. The lines "I just have to try harder" and "Sent falling again, rock bottom for me" could suggest a feeling of hopelessness in trying to make the relationship work, or a repetitive pattern of trying and failing to communicate effectively.
