Automatic
Y.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 Y.L.'s song "Automatic" seem to describe a person who is in a state of mind where they are fixated on committing a crime. They are driving to the "crime of the time" and are manufacturing their mind in order to carry out this crime. However, the lyrics also suggest that this person is not in control of their actions or thoughts, as they describe their brain as "fading in the lane" and being unable to be tamed. The line "it's such a beautiful car" could also be interpreted as the person being more concerned about their appearance or status with their car than the crime they are about to commit.
The chorus of the song, "You're so automatic, the way you bleed, you're so automatic, the things you need" depicts this person as being so robotic in their actions that they are like a machine, or automatic. The repetition of "you're so automatic" emphasizes the lack of control that this person has over their actions and thoughts. This idea is reinforced in the final line of the song, "you're just like me, you're so automatic, and you still are", suggesting that the person singing the song is in a similar state of mind and may also be behaving automatically.
