Plug in, Plug in to the machine, Save us a line, Don't even blast us, don't reprise the mind, blast the sin. free from the self, time even laughs tonight, am I on your mind, or don't you even care? plug in to the machine, plug in to the machine, You really loved your loved once, concerned for that well being. but I took a try, to those who could save me, and no, I can't deny, it's a sexual pressures twist, to precious to ignore, so less in a paycheck, and I can be sure I'll stand awry. save me 4x, What if this dementia won't stop, and resistance all is done? I'll wind up the turnkey and set it on stage, and wait until there's love, so if desire has changed, plug in, don't stand by yourself, because I can't just say, I am meant to be your last dance. I made it through your last touch, I made it through your last touch, I made it through your last touch, I'm living through your last touch, I'm living through your last touch, I've got time

Line by Line Meaning

Plug in, Plug in to the machine
Begin the process of connecting to the machine


Save us a line
Produce an output that will provide a solution or help us in some way


Don't even blast us, don't reprise the mind, blast the sin
Don't overwhelm us with information or allow us to revisit past experiences, focus on freeing us from our sins


Free from the self, time even laughs tonight
Become detached from ourselves, and experience the freedom of being in the present moment


Am I on your mind, or don't you even care?
Are you thinking about me or have you completely forgotten about me?


You really loved your loved ones, concerned for that well being
You cared deeply for your family and friends, and wanted them to be safe and happy


But I took a try, to those who could save me
I reached out to those who I thought could help me


And no, I can't deny, it's a sexual pressures twist
I cannot deny that I am feeling a sexual urge that is causing me distress


To precious to ignore, so less in a paycheck
This is important to me and I'm willing to sacrifice other things to pursue it


And I can be sure I'll stand awry
I know that my actions may be seen as strange or wrong by others


Save me 4x
Repeated plea for help


What if this dementia won't stop, and resistance all is done?
What if my mental deterioration never ends and I am completely helpless?


I'll wind up the turnkey and set it on stage, and wait until there's love
I'll create something and wait for someone to appreciate it or love it


So if desire has changed, plug in, don't stand by yourself
If your desires or needs have changed, connect to the machine and don't isolate yourself


Because I can't just say, I am meant to be your last dance
I cannot simply state that I am destined to be your final romantic partner


I made it through your last touch, I'm living through your last touch, I've got time
I have survived and continue to live with the memory of your last physical contact, and I still have time to experience more

Plug in. Plug in to the machine
Save us a line. Don't even blast us
Don't reprise the mind. Blast the sin
Free from the self, time even laughs tonight
Am I on your mind, or don't you even care ?
Plug in to the machine, plug in to the machine
You really loved your loved once
Concerned for that well being
But I took a try, to those who could save me
And no, I can't deny, it's a sexual pressures twist
To precious to ignore, so less in a paycheck
And I can be sure I'll stand away

Save me
Save me
Save me
Save me

What if the dementia won't stop
And resistance all is done ?
I'll wind up the turnkey and set it on stage
And wait until there's love, so if desire has changed
Plug in. Don't stand by yourself, because I can't just say

I am meant to be your last dance

I made it through your last touch
I made it through your last touch
I made it through your last touch

I'm living through your last touch
I'm living through your last touch

I've got time

To me these lyrics are saying name the price, and I’ll pay it to keep her alive. But it’s a chore to do so because she doesn’t care about her life like I do. But my view on the English language is a bit different than everyone else’s.

This deserves more views. One of my favorite songs by VAC and it fits the video perfectly :)

Although the lyrics of the song are not too sentimental, this video is extremely emotional, it touches the soul, it lets you know what the real actions of love are. My favorite by V.A.C.

three fold

I'll be quick. Lyrics are EXTREMELY sentimental, you are dank.
Plug into your machine to survive your distress. Don't ask for help, don't think about it.
You tell yourself you care for her but you don't. You are fucked and act as such.
You remain hopeful but recognize there truly is none.
You become the machine to remain alive and wait for her.
You wait forever for her.
That kind of thing... i'm sort of living it right now and i dunno, it rings true. I want to die. but Til Death.. ...
