Cat Power - silent machine

이 노래는 주인공이 밤거리를 걸으며 사랑과 상실, 그리고 자신의 정체성을 찾는 과정을 그린다
고독한 여정 속에서 사람들과의 관계, 가족과의 기억들이 반복적으로 언급된다
결국, 사랑의 복잡함과 자아 탐색을 통해 어둠 속에서도 빛을 찾으려는 노력이 드러난다

I walk on through woods and its streets every night
Walk through people who walk too close
Into each other they're hanging
I am told there's a mother you may remember
In the name of the father but never the ghost
Me I use the money for those just as hard
Who hung his head for the ladies or pretended he did
He did! She did!
He did! We did it!
She loves you, she loves you, she loves you so hard
The one person to have you cannot
The child he is a sinner, tell me teacher
To put on your light and then turn around
The silent machine is here to meet ya
You put on your light and then turn around (turn around)
You lie, you lie, you lie, you lie, you lie
(Turn around, turn around, turn around, you turn around)
Silent machine is here to meet ya (meet ya)
Silent machine is here to meet ya (meet ya)
Silent machine is here to meet ya (meet ya)
Silent machine is here
