LYRICS
Show me your insides
Show me your secrets
Show me what you desire
I can fake it
Show what you wanted
So I can be it
And if I bend just right
I can make it
I didn’t want you
I wanna watch you change
From a butterfly and into chains
Lay your heart into my perfect machine
I will show you what you wanted to see
Just a mirror till I get what I need
The reverie was not of me
You never saw nothing
Never saw nothing
I’m just a liar without deceiving
I’m just a broken clown
Make believing
I should’ve let you know you should’ve ran for cover
I'm just a parlor trick, a two-bit counterfeit
Lay your heart into my perfect machine
I will use it to protect you from me
I will never let you see what’s beneath
So good for you and good for me
We told ourselves we’re
Right where we ought to be
Even you know, even you know
This was all for nothing
Just a sad show, just an ego
I suppose though, as far as I know
We were both pretending
I suppose so, but what do I know?
Even you know, even you know
This was all for nothing
Just a sad show, just an ego
I suppose though, as far as I know
We were both pretending
I suppose so, but what do I know?
Lay your heart into my perfect machine
I will show you what you wanted to see
Just a mirror till I get what I need
The reverie was not of me
You never saw nothing
Never saw nothing
Lay your heart into my perfect machine
I will use it to protect you from me
I will never let you see what’s beneath
So good for you and good for me
We told ourselves we’re
Right where we ought to be

"I'm just a broken clown" *cries in a society*

The best community,the best band,the best songs. STARSET IS JUST THE BEST.

It didn't occur to me until yesterday that this song is literally about the BMI tech in the Starset universe, how the BMI's "promise" to give the individual everything they ever wanted via synthetic pleasures. And another thing is the dynamic symbol of this track evechanging and swaying in the position of a pendulum to finally reaching its zenith in the shape of a heart lining up all three circles. The BMI's shape is visually represented by three circles lined up. This visual representation in this dynamic symbol makes me think the BMI is on the surface: hypnosis/suggestion but really at its core is pure subjugation and manipulation of the "heart" or in this case an individual's mind. Late night epiphanies are wonderful.

Starset can't do a single bad song
-
THIS ENTIRE ALBUM IS PERFECTION!
-
His voice when he sings "From a butterfly and into chains" is perfection. These lyrics are gorgeous.
-
The fact that a lot of people have not discovered Starset by now is a pure crime
-
"Show me your insides, show me your secrets, show me what you desire... I can fake it". Sounds like the perfect machine represents the brain machine interface from Manifest

In my opinion the "Perfect Machine" isnt an object, its YOU. Or rather, the idea of having to shell your true feelings and emotions from the one you love. Lying to yourself and faking your emotions enough to convince both you and your partner into believing that you're both happy. In my eyes that is what makes you the PERFECT MACHINE. "I don't want you to see who I truly am, so here, pour your heart into this. It's not the real me, but we can PRETEND that it is so that we can both be happy" Sound like anyone?
-
"I will use it to protect you from me" is the most relateable line ever.
-
Love and healthy relationships: hi Starset: slams table not on my watch! NOT ON MY WATCH!
-
