Porter Robinson - Sad Machine
It's anyone there?
Play!
Who survives?
Somebody knew?
Anyone else that knew.
On a lonely night,
Once the burning light...
Chorus:
And though I know, since you've awakened her again
She depends on you, she depends on you!
Should go on, and never speak of this again
We depend on you, we depend on you!
And though I know, since you've awakened her again
She depends on you, she depends on you!
Should go on, and never speak of this again
We depend on you, we depend on you!
Play!
I don't know much about your life beyond these warm walls.
The fleeting sense of love within the... Taking home
I don't hear it in his voice, in every calm
Let's go much flat, a hundred years had something lift away
Chorus: (x2)
I'm going home since you've awakened her again
She depends on you, she depends on you!
Should go on, and never speak of this again
We depend on you, we depend on you!
I'm going home since you've awakened her again
She depends on you, she depends on you!
Should go on, and never speak of this again
We depend on you, we depend on you!
Play!
"Sad Machine" is a song recorded by American electronic music producer Porter Robinson for his debut studio album Worlds (2014). For the song, Robinson had the concept of a duet between a robot and a human — these vocals are provided by a Vocaloid voice and Robinson himself, respectively. He wanted it to contain elements of fiction and nostalgia. Critics noted the song as synth-pop and the inspirations from Passion Pit, M83, and Sigur Rós. "Sad Machine" was released on May 13, 2014, as the second single from Worlds. It was considered one of the best electronic dance music (EDM) songs of all time by Vice and charted on Billboard's Dance/Electronic Songs. The song received a gold certification in the United States by the Recording Industry Association of America. "Sad Machine" was the last song Robinson wrote for his debut studio album, Worlds. He said it's his favorite song from the album and that it could serve as a summary of its events. Robinson described the tone of the song to be "[f]ragile and vulnerable [...] but wistful and nostalgic". The track is 88.5 beats per minute, half of 177, the latter of which Robinson wished to imply with the lead synth in the beginning of the song. He wished for the listener to anticipate a drum and bass beat and become caught off guard when the song revealed its actual tempo.
