about

Tin Man is the eleventh song of Stars of Atlas.
Tin man is a song describing the toxic persona many humans develop in order to deal with the reality that we inhabit, and how it is broken down through love alone.

lyrics

At times I begin to feel
Like a man made of steel
Oil instead of blood
Circuitry instead of veins
Emotions that are calculated
To override this pain
A moment of bliss
Then I am back to the game
My system feels an overload
When I scan that fair lady
A technician, rewire my disposition
Towards a more favorable fate
Cause I feel at ease
My humanity returns to me
Whenever I surrender to your ecstasy
Don't need to write a riddle
Cause your simple to me
That's all that matters indeed
My mind's got enough complexity
A game of risk in real time
Tell me, what's your strategy
Ponder your inhibitions, certainly
Takes time to reprogram
Our biological tendencies
Even longer to inspire mental release
Past chapters hold ghosts and fallacies
That flow throughout our frequency
Enticing monsters to break our chemistry
Our cellular composition throughout eternity
Different pieces to a puzzling seed
Cause I feel at ease
My humanity returns to me
Whenever I surrender to your ecstasy
Don't need to write a riddle
Cause your simple to me
That's all that matters indeed
My mind's got enough complexity
Naturally we are primal chaos
Yin and yang, embers upon the sea
Isolation can make us hardwired
Rusty just like machinery
Yet within the kaleidoscope scenery
Magic flows ever so purely
Figments of the totality manifest suddenly
Blinding me, unplugging me, reset this fantasy
Entering yet another chapter
So that we receive what we seek to achieve
Cause I feel at ease
My humanity returns to me
Whenever I surrender to your ecstasy
Don't need to write a riddle
Cause your simple to me
That's all that matters indeed
My mind's got enough complexity
