AUTOMATIC
T L Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I manufacture my mind
Till we stop
Till the real man comes on top
And now you'll really be dropped
Fading in the lane with the brain
That can never be tamed
Got the twenty first century car
Well now I know who you are
You're so automatic
The way you bleed
You're so automatic
The things you need
You're so automatic
And you still are
Standing in the field what a deal
Will you get out and kneel
Where you are
Where the blood doesn't get on my car
It's such a beautiful car
Dropping of the shot with the pop
Makes me wonder and stop
What you got
What you really got coming along
And now you really are gone
You're so automatic
The way you bleed
You're so automatic
The things you need
You're so automatic
The way you see
You're so automatic
You're just like me
You're so automatic
And you still are
The lyrics of T L's song "Automatic" describe a feeling of being detached and emotionless, as if everything is happening automatically, without any conscious thought or action. The singer is driving to "the crime of the time", possibly alluding to a societal issue or trend that is currently prevalent. They mention "manufacturing" their mind, perhaps indicating that they are trying to numb their emotions or thoughts before arriving at their destination. The phrase "till we stop, till the real man comes on top" may suggest that the singer is waiting for something to happen or for someone else to take control.
As the song progresses, the focus shifts to the car that the singer is driving, a "twenty first century car". The car becomes a symbol of modernity and progress, and is contrasted with the natural world ("standing in the field"). The singer appears to be dissociating from their actions, referring to "the shot with the pop" and wondering what the other person "really got coming along". The repetition of the phrase "you're so automatic" underscores the theme of the song, emphasizing the idea that both the singer and the other person they are referring to are simply going through the motions, without any real agency or purpose.
Overall, the lyrics of "Automatic" paint a bleak picture of modern life, in which people are disconnected from one another and from their own emotions. The car and the crime are symbols of this sense of detachment, illustrating how easy it is to become disconnected from reality and from one's own actions.
Line by Line Meaning
Driving to the crime of the time
Going to the place where the illegal activity is happening
I manufacture my mind
Preparing oneself mentally for the act
Till we stop
Continuing until arriving at the destination
Till the real man comes on top
Waiting for someone in charge to take over
And now you'll really be dropped
Someone will be taken down and defeated
Fading in the lane with the brain
Drifting off while driving due to one's uncontrollable thoughts
That can never be tamed
One's thoughts cannot be controlled
I got the car
Possessing a modern car
Got the twenty first century car
Having a car that represents the current era
Well now I know who you are
Identifying someone's true nature
You're so automatic
You act like a robot, possessing no free will
The way you bleed
Even your bodily functions are predictable
The things you need
You are programmed to have specific wants and needs
And you still are
You have always been like this and you continue to be
Standing in the field what a deal
Being at a location where something significant is happening
Will you get out and kneel
Will you submit and acknowledge what is happening
Where you are
The current location
Where the blood doesn't get on my car
Ensuring that no evidence or mess is on one's car
It's such a beautiful car
One's car is important to them and represents their status
Dropping of the shot with the pop
A gunshot capturing someone's attention with a loud sound
Makes me wonder and stop
Causing one to pause and reflect
What you got
What someone has planned or prepared for
What you really got coming along
What the future holds for someone
And now you really are gone
Someone has been killed or defeated, they no longer exist
The way you see
One's perspective and view of the world is predetermined
You're just like me
The singer is also robotic and programmed like the person being addressed
