Song Meaning of “Machine – Chinese Version” by EXO-M
“Machine” is a song by EXO-M, a subgroup of South Korean-Chinese boyband EXO. The song is the Chinese version of the group’s first studio album EXODUS. The song, like much of their work, combines the traditional sounds of K-Pop with elements of Chinese and Western music.
The song is about fighting for excellence in this day and age, when everything seems to be a race towards perfection. The lyrics speak of how machines have made our lives easier but at the same time they can be limiting, since they can’t think for themselves. EXO-M talks about having to “break” the machines, the boundaries that they have set, in order to fully experience life and achieve success. They urge the listener to “break through the limits” and strive for the best in life.
The song also speaks to the idea that when too much technology has taken over our lives, it can be difficult for us to fully appreciate the value in life experiences. EXO-M encourages not to be complacent and strive to reach the highest level of excellence possible. This is why the song is so inspiring, as it reminds us to take the opportunities available and push ourselves beyond our limits.
