The Machine Stops 歌词

She sits alone amid a radiant room Melodious and tranquil, she's let remoteness bloom All she will envision the machine has done She stares into the image she knows as her son What's there to seek? What's there to know? The machine will show us the answers How can we break down this soulless contradiction? How can we feel what can't be felt through emotion? He longs to walk into the earth's crisp air Breaking down the boundaries without a care All he will envision is to escape the machine He states into the stars, freedom he as seen Nothing is real, I have to go The machine will be our destruction How can we break down this soulless contradiction? How can we feel what can't be felt through the emotion? It's clear, we're through Behind your touch is truth It's clear to see we've lost our place Stumbling through transition of a race Reliant minds too advanced to see the light Communication breakdown, a final disaster in sight yeah And in the end we knew the way Humanity rediscovered How can we break down this soulless contradiction? How can we feel what can't be felt through emotion? How can we break down this soulless contradiction? How can we feel what can't be felt through emotion? It's clear we're through Behind our touched holds truth
