Lyrics
Intro
pulsing synth bass, four-on-the-floor kick
female vocals with heavy reverb
Oh, oh, oh
male spoken vocals
Your pulse
It doesn't belong to you anymore
It's mine
staccato synth lead enters
Verse 1
Wires crossing in the dark underneath the skin
Every touch a chemical, where do you begin?
I don't want your history, I don't want your name
Just the friction of a spark burning in the frame
Burn it down (down, down)
Disconnect the mind, let the body flow
Let it flow
Chorus
full synth arrangement, driving percussion
Skin on metal, heart on fire
We are turning into sounds
Lost control of pure desire
Nowhere left to touch the ground
Hold me close
We are vibrant, we are free
Flowing through eternity, oh
Automatic love
Automatic love
Instrumental Break
distorted synth lead, heavy sidechain compression
Verse 2
No more boundaries, no more walls, flesh is dissolving now
In the static of the room, you teach me how
To breathe without the air, I look into the strobe light
And you are everywhere (everywhere)
Chorus
Skin on metal, heart on fire
We are turning into sounds
Lost control of pure desire
Nowhere left to touch the ground
Hold me close
We are vibrant, we are free
Flowing through eternity, oh
Automatic love
male spoken vocals
Yeah, this is automatic
Bridge
drums drop out, filtered synth pads
We are not two people anymore
We are a circuit
A body without organs
Just pure
Three, two, one
Chorus
white noise sweep, drums re-enter
Skin on metal, heart on fire
We are turning into sounds
Lost control of pure desire
Nowhere left to touch the ground (touch the ground)
We are vibrant, we are free
Flowing through eternity, oh
Automatic love
male spoken vocals
Yeah, this is automatic
Outro
Disconnect the mind, let the body flow
Let it flow
Automatic
No walls
Just you and me
