On this song, Anne-Marie ponders on what it would be like to be a machine in comparison to being human. Anne-Marie believes it would be easier because she wouldn’t have to deal with all the stressful and emotional aspects of being human. For example she wouldn’t have any emotions to be upset ‘By the...
[Verse 1]
I feel an ache in my body
But if only I'd have no bones
I know the air isn't breathable
And it's no good for my lungs
I feel an anger inside of me
Burns like the sun in my chest
I got no patience or self-control
God knows I'm trying my best
[Chorus]
If I was a machine
I'd never have to worry
I know that I could always press delete
If I was a machine
I wouldn't be affected
By violence on the television screen
Wouldn't have a heart
So you couldn't break it
No such thing as time
So you couldn't waste it
That would be the dream
The world could never bother me
If I was a ma-, if I was a machine
No oh oh oh, no, oh
If I was a machine, no, oh
If I was a ma-, if I was ma-
[Verse 2]
I don't do well under pressure
But if I was made out of steel
I would be so damn invincible
Nothing could undo my will
I wouldn't make bad decisions
No promises or regrets
And everything that makes me miserable
Is a consequence of my flesh
[Chorus]
If I was a machine
I'd never have to worry
I know that I could always press delete
If I was a machine
I wouldn't be affected
By violence on the television screen
Wouldn't have a heart
So you couldn't break it
No such thing as time
So you couldn't waste it
That would be the dream
The world could never bother me
If I was a ma-, if I was a machine
No oh oh oh, no, oh, no, no, no
If I was a machine, no, oh
If I was a ma-, if I was ma-
[Bridge]
Drunk and high every night
Numb the pain, oh
Flush it all down the drain
If I could find a way out of this hole
I could do anything
Every night, different guy
Numb the pain, oh
Flush it all down the drain
If I could find a way out of this hole
I could do anything
[Chorus]
If I was a machine
I'd never have to worry
I know that I could always press delete
If I was a machine
I wouldn't be affected
By violence on the television screen
Wouldn't have a heart
So you couldn't break it
No such thing as time
So you couldn't waste it
That would be the dream
The world could never bother me
If I was a ma-, if I was a machine
No oh oh oh, no, oh, no, no, no
If I was a machine, no, oh
If I was a ma-, if I was ma-

I feel everyone’s feelings. That song is about wishing sometimes I was a machine and not getting affected by all this stuff I’m seeing in the world, because it does fuck me up. When I see people sad, I’m sad."

A week after the November 2015 Paris terrorist attacks, Anne-Marie was due to play the venue with the dance act Rudimental. The news of the atrocity completely threw her. “It really just f—ed me up,” she told The Guardian. “I was in bed for three days and I could tell I was dealing with it different...
