But, as Yates tells NPR, it’s bound by a theme: “‘Generator’ is about near-death experiences; out-of-body happenings that really open you up to see your true self without the noise of the world.”

[Verse 1]
I'm hanging on to what I got left
Picking up all the pieces in the dark
And sound is gone
Without me, you'll be moving along just fine
[Chorus]
(Don't waste my time)
Don't waste my time
With all your lines
Just leave me far behind
[Verse 2]
I'm hanging on, but I alienate
Dancing with my pain now in the dark
From right to left
Watching my world disconnect
[Chorus]
(Don't waste my time)
Don't waste my time
With all your lines
Just leave me far behind
[Bridge]
And now I gotta make my own way
Gotta make my own way
Gotta make my own way
Got to make it right before I'm done
[Outro: Franz Lyons]
Generator by my side
Push me through the darkest times
You know I tried
Know I tried
Generator by my side
Push me through the darkest times
