‘The Machine’ is about being trapped in the corporate system, working for “The Man” and dreaming of escape. Mournful vocals are set to a backdrop of grinding industrial sounds and pulsing guitar effects before bursting into an uplifting chorus that affirms we are meant to be free.
“I wrote this song whilst working for a corporation, which was slowly destroying and sucking the life out of me. I felt this couldn’t be what life was all about, so I wanted to make a break, to change things so that I could live a life where I called the shots – in essence, a life free of the Machine.”
