Symbols Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
People hardly achieve
In this perfect Babel 's Tower
All this rottenness makes me sick
You are living in ambition
And you don't have regret
It just stinks and don't you notice?
All this greed is in your veins!
But all could change
Start with you!
You could really change
With this we can go on!
Can you feel this madness?
The power is blinding and killing!
Can you feel this sadness?
So you will pay for never more!
Happiness is in your mind
And you must believe
In this perfect union of power
All the hope must still remain
We live in this same fucking place
And you musn't forget
Our miracles are our magic
And with them we'll reach our aim
Can you feel this madness?
The power is blinding and killing!
Can you fell this sadness?
So you will pay for never more!
Can you feel this happiness?
If you can give you can earn it!
Can you feel this success?
It's the name of dictated game!
The song "Power Machine" by Symbols discusses the negative impact of greed and power on society, as well as the potential for change. The first stanza highlights the difficulty in achieving true happiness in a world overrun by corruption and sickness. The second stanza shifts the focus to the individual, pointing out how ambition can blind someone to the destructive nature of their actions. However, the chorus offers a glimmer of hope, reminding the listener that change starts with the individual and that happiness and success can be achieved through a belief in oneself and a willingness to work towards a common goal.
Overall, the lyrics of the song critique the selfish pursuit of power and wealth at the expense of others and suggest that individuals can begin to make a difference by rejecting this mentality and working towards a different kind of success - one that is built on a foundation of equality, compassion, and mutual support.
