Eat. Sleep. Work. Repeat. The Automaton carries on in its endless loop. Never failing. Never flinching. Never feeling.
'Aesthetic Perfection' new single “Automaton” is about trying to reclaim one’s humanity and identity in a world that often demands they be sacrificed. A cold and mechanical mid tempo club track that evolves into an explosion of guitars and energetic screams, “Automaton” is a celebration of the human condition. Once again, guitars have been provided by Swedish virtuoso Sebastian Svalland (PAIN, Letters from the Colony, LINDEMANN) which breathe soul into an otherwise lifeless machine. Produced and mixed by none other than Rhys Fulber (Frontline Assembly, Delerium, Conjure One, Fear Factory).
Lyrics:
I’m automatic,
I’m automatic just like you,
Another panic,
Another rat inside an endless loop,
I can’t breathe
Anxiety,
Oh,
Sword it swings,
Looms over me.
So I’m just gonna slide,
From underneath the knife,
Away from all the lies,
So I’m just gonna slide.
Psychosomatic,
Psychosomatic all along,
It’s an obsession,
It’s an obsession,
Foolish animals,
Pressure peaks,
Inside of me,
A war a beast,
Awakening.
