Your Body Is a Machine
The Good Natured Lyrics

It's only a matter of time
Time is a powerful force and eventually everything succumbs to its effects.

Before all the springs in the mind
The mind is complex and delicate, and unchecked stresses can cause it to malfunction.

Will start to break
The mind is fragile and damage can be done to it when overworked and strained.

Like you have broken me
The artist has been hurt and damaged by someone or something, causing emotional pain.

There's silver in your lungs now
The person who hurt the artist now has a connection with them, even if it's toxic or negative.

All I care about is shapes
The singer is focused on the aesthetic and appearance of things, perhaps at the cost of other important factors.

All I care about is colours
The singer is focused on the visual components of their world.

You said your body is a machine
Someone claimed that their physical state was controlled and predictable, like a machine.

It will break
Even machines can break, and there is no guarantee that something controlled and predictable will remain that way forever.

And I can't forget the words
The artist is haunted by something someone else said to them, perhaps something hurtful or impactful.

Forgotten promises
Commitments made in the past that were not fulfilled, perhaps broken or ignored.

Are completely worthless
None of the intended benefits or effects of a promise will be realized if it is forgotten or ignored.

I feel you beating in my chest
The memory or influence of someone is so strong that it feels like their presence is physically felt within the singer.

I feel you screaming in my lungs
Someone or something has left a deep emotional imprint on the singer, to the point that they feel like they are screaming from within the singer's physical body.

You are heavy but
The weight of the past, of trauma or emotional struggle, can be a burden that is hard to shake off.

Your beats in time
Despite everything, the artist is still alive and active, and their heart beats to the rhythm of life.

I feel the crimson on my lips
The artist has experienced pain, bleeding or injury, perhaps as a result of their emotional struggles.

Now my stomachs lined with gold
Despite the pain and trauma, the singer has found something valuable or worth holding onto within themselves.

I'm broken hearted but my beats in time
Despite emotional pain and difficulty, the singer is still alive and breathing, still moving forward through life.

We are influenced
People are not fully independent, but are shaped and influenced by their environment and circumstances.

By self love
Caring for oneself is a powerful and important force, and can have profound effects on a person's mental and emotional well-being.

And benevolence
Acts of kindness and generosity can have a positive impact on individuals and society as a whole.

Narcissism is overwhelming
Excess focus on oneself can be harmful and lead to negative outcomes.

Vanity is quite exhausting
Obsessive focus on one's appearance and image can be draining and unpleasant.

Self indulgent
Focusing too much on oneself can be harmful and unproductive.

Hedonistic
Pursuing only pleasure and satisfaction can lead to negative outcomes and consequences.

Blame it all
The reasons for a person's current situation or struggles may be complex, and cannot be boiled down to one single cause or reason.

On your upbringing
A person's early experiences and upbringing can have a profound impact on their later mental and emotional states.
