LYRICS
Show me your insides
Show me your secrets
Show me what you desire
I can fake it
Show what you wanted
So I can be it
And if I bend just right
I can make it
I didn't want you
I wanna watch you change
From a butterfly and into chains
Lay your heart into my perfect machine
I will show you what you wanted to see
Just a mirror 'til I get what I need
The reverie was not of me
You never saw nothing
Never saw nothing
I'm just a liar
Without deceiving
I'm just a broken clown
Make believing
I should've let you know
You should've ran for cover
I'm just a parlor trick
A two-bit counterfeit
Lay your heart into my perfect machine
I will use it to protect you from me
I will never let you see what's beneath
So good for you and good for me
We told ourselves we're right where we ought to be
Even you know
Even you know
This was all for nothing
Just a sad show
Just an ego
I suppose though
As far as I know
We were both pretending
I suppose so
But what do I know?
Even you know
Even you know
This was all for nothing
Just a sad show
Just an ego
I suppose though
As far as I know
We were both pretending
I suppose so
But what do I know?
Lay your heart into my perfect machine
I will show you what you wanted to see
Just a mirror 'til I get what I need
The reverie was not of me
You never saw nothing
Never saw nothing
Lay your heart into my perfect machine
I will use it to protect you from me
I will never let you see what's beneath
So good for you and good for me
We told ourselves we're where right we ought to be

This is probably one of the most impacful music videos I've ever seen and also of one of my favorite songs of the album. The whole video hit so hard it had me crying, everything was perfectly on point from the amazing editing to the unexpected slap in the face it gave me. Just amazing, you guys never fail to release such cool and always interesting content with your out-of-this-world music- Have I said amazing already?

[@starsetextended]

Thank You so much Martina for this wonderful compliment. YOU are amazing!

[@Aigle20350]

Love the subtle jab at Neuralink.

[@starsetextended]

Thank You very much. So cool that You noticed it.

[@AldoBr549]

My God watching this hurts! It transcends emotional pain and actually physically hurts.

[@gammarayne]

Perfect Machine is definitely one of my favorite tracks off of Divisions, and this video for it is phenomenal! Not only did it bring tears to my eyes, but it also just left me sitting in silence afterward just... deep in thought and feelings. What I'm saying is, damn, that was powerful ♥

[@starsetextended]

Dear Gamma Rayne. Thank You so much for this amazing compliment!

[@lightningr]

Perfect intro for ur song As always U guys smashed my brain😊

[@88xScorpio]

Powerful and heavy.

[@starsetextended]

Thank You Dominic!

[@lashawndadye3859]

I still...can't make it through this song without crying ❣️

[@Bo0nd0ckGames]

Just wanted to let you know I've watched this about 10 times in the past 3 days lol. Amazing job on the edit. Coming from a father, that was emotional and really hit home with me. Well done my friend

[@starsetextended]

Wow, thank You so much for this wonderful and uplifting feedback!

[@ramtigerfalcon8387]

Hey guys. Could you not be so efficient at making this grown man cry, please?😅 Question is, was this real?. Was it just among many "flashes in a rut"? Was it a fabrication? You all never fail to intrigue and horrify as well as encourage and instill hope. This is one of your many songs that i still dont have a definitive answer for in analysis of it. Beautiful work as always.

[@Jake-te6ll]

Jesus, I'm crying, that was so well made!

[@starsetextended]

Thank You so much Jacob!

[@LordOfSky_41G]

Holy shit. My heart

[@VrantusMusicOfficial]

Actually the video itself is pretty great. I do understand the graphic. Since it’s an director’s cut.

[@starsetextended]

Thank You Josiah.

[@TheGreatMrMagoo]

Wow that was powerful. Definitely worthy of repeat viewings.

Thank You very much Mr Magoo!

Well damn

[@starsetextended]

I take that as a compliment. Thanks Ashley

[@TheBlitzgundam]

Wow! This was an amazing video and song! I wanna know how the story continues

[@starsetextended]

Thank You very much! Me too…

[@patrickhoover8501]

What is the video from?

[@jak-crow]

While I dig the video for the story it contains, I've always thought the song was about a manipulative narcissist or sociopath

[@jak-crow]

Oh, and we need a couple "extended" albums. Thanks in advance 😁

[@starsetextended]

In the context of the album „Divisions‘ You are absolutely right.

[@ramtigerfalcon8387]

This isn't an incorrect interpretation of it. Just one of many. To me it sounds like the plight of the Advisary trying to obtain your "self"

[@catsandfriends5918]

Is it just my ears, or does anyone else pick up some Morse Code towards the end? I can hear it, very faintly, but have no idea what it says. As for the video, I can't say anything other than it is perfect and hurtful and everything a music video should be.

[@tacosauce890]

8 minutes to 8m 25s in is where I hear it....

[@starsetextended]

Thank You so much! It is indeed a morse code…

[@ramtigerfalcon8387]

​@@starsetextendedyall are WAAAyy to clever. Especially since your not saying what it says.

[@ThighErda]

nice

[@starsetextended]

Thank you

[@SkylerLinux]

It's a lovely video clearly made with care and intention. I just feel like the lyrics of the song are going in a very different direction than the video went.

[@starsetextended]

Thank You very much for Your comment Skyler. This was intentional and that‘s the beauty of music lyrics, most of the time they leave room for different interpretations.

[@ramtigerfalcon8387]

Absolutely. I think though, that the obtaining the characters LIFE as it was, ( no matter the ins and outs of his fortune/circumstance) was the goal of the "Overmind"( or whatever ominous name you give the lyrics speaker at the beginning) No matter what though , life as a whole moves on.

[@PeaChy-nr4dp]

I love this extended song, as well as the mv. ❤ But, I still wonder. Is this man-made or AI-made video? Sorry, I am just want to know. Bcs it is amazing. 😃😁

[@starsetextended]

Thank You very much. It is 100% percent man-made.

[@johnl1091]

Was this video created by the band, or was it an independent project?

[@starsetextended]

An independent project.

[@johnl1091]

@@starsetextended Props to the team that put this together. They nailed it!

This messed me up.

Hopefully not in a bad way.
