According to Numan, the title stands for “Mechanical Engineering.”
The song M.E. is sung from the point of view of the last living machine on Earth. The people have all died, the planet is laid waste and its own power source is running down, I used to have a picture in my mind of this sad and despe...
[Verse 1]
And M.E., I eat dust
We're all so run down
I'd call it my death
But I'll only fade away
And I hate to fade alone
Now there's only M.E
[Verse 2]
We were so sure
We were so wrong
Now it's over
But there's no one left to see
And there's no one left to die
There's only M.E
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
Why should I care?
Why should I try?
Oh no, oh no
I turned off the pain
Like I turned off you all
Now there's only M.E
[Instrumental]
