about

I love science fiction, so the idea of a computer trying to quantify the concept or the feeling of love has always fascinated me. It's fun to write about a personal experience and then adapt it to be from the perspective of a machine falling in love with another machine.

lyrics

I need a mechanic
I’m in need of a repair
I think I short circuited
Oh god, this isn’t fair
All the motor functions in my heart
have gone askew
Now I’m left immobile
every time I look at you

Half the time it’s wonderful
And half the time, I’m scared
All the time I’m thinking about the kiss that you and I have shared
I seem synthetic, but that doesn’t mean I don’t care

All I know is that I can’t speak when you’re around
Elated and intoxicated, tripping to the ground
There must be something wrong with me
You overload my system even though you didn’t try
Yeah babe, I’m falling for you. It’s a fact I can’t deny
I think there’s something wrong with me

I feel like a cyborg
That achieved humanity
Nothing like I’ve felt before
Whenever you’re with me
I think that you’re beautiful
If only I could speak
Soft metallic body and a
Silhouette mystique

Tell me this is magical
Or just tell me to stay
Tell me that I’m crazy with these feelings that I can’t convey
It’s Now or Never, Please tell me do you feel the same?

All I know is that I can’t speak when you’re around
Elated and intoxicated, tripping to the ground
There must be something wrong with me
You overload my system even though you didn’t try
Yeah babe, I’m falling for you. It’s a fact I can’t deny
I think there’s something wrong with me

Oh It’s hard to explain
Oh It’s hard to contain
The virus I can’t get rid of
Is it wonderful pain
Or am I just insane
Primary Function we call love?
Oh It’s hard to explain
Oh It’s hard to contain
The virus I can’t get rid of
Is it wonderful pain
Or am I just insane
What is this function we call love?

All I know is that I can’t speak when you’re around
Elated and intoxicated, tripping to the ground
There must be something wrong with me
You overload my system even though you didn’t try
Yeah babe, I’m falling for you. It’s a fact I can’t deny
I think there’s something wrong with me
