Lied van de week : week 41 - 2010

Self machine - I Blåme Coco

Er zijn wellicht heel wat redenen te bedenken waarom dit nummer niet bijster veel aandacht zou verdienen, maar desondanks blijkt I Blåme Coco (zoals iedereen intussen weet, met de dochter van Sting) met dit nummer een onweerstaanbaar popnummer gemaakt te hebben, dat deze week is komen logeren in mijn hoofd en er met geen stokken te verjagen valt...

Je vindt het nummer op debuutalbum The constant, dat op 8 november zijn release kent maar hier alvast kan voorbesteld worden.

Lyrics :

I saw the mirror starin’ back at me
And it told me I’m a self machine
I saw the mirror starin’ back at me
And it told me I’m a self machine

It said I gave you these scars
And I gave you these wounds
I told you the false
And I showed you the truth

I saw the mirror staring back at me
And it told me I’m a self machine

Lonely robot in a wasteland
Rusting in a lonely harbor
Lonely robot in a wasteland
Rusting in the harbor’s water
I’m not a human if you say I’m not
I’m not a human if my hinges lock
And this motor that you call my heart
Is another machine that will stop

And the impression of my self machine
The word was spoken and it was foreseen
Now are we two worlds apart or in between
A pixel lost on a computer screen

Lonely robot in a wasteland
Rusting in a lonely harbor
Lonely robot in a wasteland
Rusting in the harbor’s water
I’m not a human if you say I’m not
I’m not a human if my hinges lock
And this motor that you call my heart
Is another machine that won't stop

Wait harbor, wait
Water still, water still
And shake, the ground will shake
Out stand still, out stand still

Lonely robot in a wasteland
Rusting in a lonely harbor
Lonely robot in a wasteland
Rusting in the harbor’s water
I’m not a human if you say I’m not
I’m not a human if my hinges lock
And this motor that you call my heart
Is another machine that won't stop
Won't stooooooop

I’m not a human if you say I’m not
I’m not a human if my hinges lock
And this motor that you call my heart
Is another machine that won't stop
