Automatic
Weezer feat. Atom Willard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Deliver you a mountain size of love
How do oceans
Connected by a straw get something through
I might need some time to remember
Need some time to remember
Hey yeah
It's automatic when you know it
Hey yeah
It's automatic when you feel it
When do I lay down
And get to see the world inside your eyes
How can I reach out
And hold on to the joy you've got inside
[Chorus]
Got some
I wanna feel it every hour
Cause I wanna get into you
[Chorus]
The lyrics to Weezer's "Automatic" seem to be describing the difficulties of conveying and experiencing deep love and connection. The first verse poses a series of questions about how to communicate such feelings - how can you "deliver" an enormous amount of love, or transmit it as if through the narrow pathway of a straw? The singer acknowledges that they may need time to remember how to do so effectively.
The chorus then introduces the idea of something being "automatic" when one knows or feels it - implying that a true, deep love and connection is something that can be recognized instinctively, without effort or calculation. The second verse further emphasizes the difficulty of grasping this kind of connection, asking how one can truly understand the "world inside your [partner's] eyes" or hold on to the internal joy they possess.
