Lyrics:

[English]

In my love

Every heart is beating

I'm all love

Can't you feel me feeling?

Take my hand

Cold like a junkie

I'm an ice cold man

(I'm an ice cold man)

Why am I crying for you?

All this love I felt for you

Has gone away to another place

(It's a digital life)

I put my faith in a digital world

When they've given me

Eyes without a face

I'd steal the moon on silver nights

Remind myself I am someone

My soul is numb and for tonight

I'm automaton

I'm so tough

Can't you see me running?

See, I can touch

Can you feel me coming?

I see the world

In claws of freedom

These metal eyes, they can't disguise

The fact that I

Need something to believe in

But then I drug him for you

I said goodbye to the world I knew

And took off into inner space

(It's a digital life)

Weren't you the ones who promised me

A very different place?

I've powered up, get my program set

And turn my head toward the sun

Inside I know, I'm not a void

I'm automaton

Automaton

Automaton

Automaton

Automaton

Hey, you got me down underground

Gettin' holed up in my cyber lounge

As if I had time to break that down

(Automaton)

Whatever you can do I can override it

Got a million ways to synthesize it

Digital android, I can fight it

Fight it out

Automaton

(It's a digital life)

Automaton

(Digital life)

Automaton

(A digital life)

Automaton

Feel like a man who said to us

That this is not where I belong

They rule my life from a metal box

That's windowless

And I wonder where it all goes wrong

Maybe this dream will stay alive

But can the madness be undone?

Am I the new intelligence?

I'm automaton

I'm automaton

I'm automaton

I'm automaton

I'm automaton

I'm automaton

I'm automaton

It's a digital life

It's a digital life

You know I need something I can hold onto, hold onto

(You were all I knew)

(I'm automaton)

I need something

I can hold onto, hold onto

(This was all I knew)
