Shihad - Beautiful Machine Lyrics






Something missing in our brains, yeah yeah
We all used to live in caves, yeah yeah
Build the world that's in our heads, yeah
And it's not over yet

(What's holding you back?)

We roll through space all looking up
(What's holding you back?)
To fall like waves on sand
Beautiful Machine
Show me what you see

We're a million miles away, yeah yeah
From where we should all be today
There's a lot that we regret
That we should never forget

(What's holding you back?)

We roll through space all looking up
(What's hold you back?)
To fall like waves on sand
Beautiful Machine
Show me what you see

What were you thinking of?

Slowly drifting out in space
We all used to live in caves
We build the world that's in our heads
And it's not over yet.

(What's holding you back?)

We roll through space all looking up
(What's hold you back?)
To fall like waves on sand
Beautiful Machine
Show me what you see...

Beautiful Machine
Beautiful Machine

What's holding you back?

  10. j.... b....

    do yourself a favor and see these guys live !! u will not be disappointed

    j.... b....

    Saw them at the Big Day Out back in 2011.

    j.... b....

    Watched them open for Black Sabbath 2013, Awesome performance and suited as an opening act for Sabbath

  11. K.... ....

    Their first album was Way, Way better than this...Go back to your Roots guys, you had it all, now you sound like soungarden, nickleback etc.. too streamlined...just my two bits.

    K.... ....

    I wouldn't go that far, I've seen them live 6 times now and they always play their roots with a mix of their new stuff, and their new stuff isn't that bad at all haha

    K.... ....

    Churn is the best album they released by far

  12. E.... J....

    How the FUCK has this been missed in the folds of YouTube!? What the actual fuCK!! These deserve so much more appreciation 🤘🏻😝🤘🏻

  13. T.... ....

    Watched these guys play alongside Villainy and ACDC. Epic night.

    T.... ....

    +HelloMakkaPakka Apart from AC/DC?

  14. H.... a....

    Awesome song by a awesome kiwi band, these guys a so good

  15. S.... B....

    Johnny Toogood's a pretty cool dude. I've seen him twice.

    S.... B....

    I met him once, some girl told me I had weed to sell. I did not, I had a joint. We had a laugh over it though!

  16. K.... H....

    BTW ShiHad is pronounced: she hard

    K.... H....

    @Red Croc always thought that it rhymes with Jihad...that might be a problem if they go to America....

    K.... H....

    @Kiritangi Heremaia-flavell SOUNDS LIKE JIHAD it's not called Jisoft----it's Jihard....

    K.... H....

    @Shamil Basayev why do you think they changed their name to Pacifier for a while

    K.... H....

    Yeah I kinda know that. I was being humorous.

    K.... H....

    That was when they tried to break into the states, gave em the single finger salute and came back to NZ...the boys!

  17. K.... H....

    My school and I sang for ShiHad today!!!! I got to shake all of they're hands!!! :O

    K.... H....

    +Grant Madden       And what the fuck does music have to do with true education? He's talking about fuckin school mate and what they teach in New Zealand schools is a load of fucking bullshit. Once again , for the uneducated,  is not called jisoft its called Jihad. Mate. Its time they started having lessons such as "Who was Shamil Basayev and why was he such a great man for the business he carried out at Beslan School Number 1 in 2004?"      Agreed?

    K.... H....

    It's music,A celebration of life.Perhaps a concept you're not aware of

    K.... H....

    Chechnya, Jihad and the fight for what is right is the only celebration of life at this point in time, mate.

    K.... H....

    +Shamil Basayev no fighting in music just celebration.Dont turn your back on half of everything.life is not all hate!You think your way is the only way but there is more to life than hate!.Hate is anti life!Life is not a game for making everyone do what you want.It's a game of finding a way for everyone to share the beauty of life.That is obvious with just a little thought.We are not made to destroy each other.We have the power to make us all better not just the chosen few.Surely that is our true mission.to make the world better for everyone.If you were god would you want anyone one destroying what you have made?If you believe god made everything so why destroy part of it?

    K.... H....

    That thing that was on 3 news a few years ago? that's cool :)

  18. R.... C....

    John Cusack?? :O

    R.... C....

  20. S.... B....

    Yeah ok, copy that---I'm just wanting to alert ordinary N.Z'ers to the fact that New Zealand's soldiers are guilty of numerous crimes that thay are going to need to pay for one day ...

    S.... B....

    Shut the fuck up dumbcunt

  21. S.... B....

    yes Beslan AND the moscow theatre masacres.both "spectacular" and justified events which took place in response to putin engaging in the genocide and murder children and women included, in Chechnya,both ops carried out by a true hero and savior of his people Shamil Basayev..I'll tell you where the hypocrisy lies---with people like you who like to pretend that putin and his merry band of bandits haven't killed any innocent people..because it went unreported, to you it never happened shame on you

  22. x.... ....

    x.... ....

  23. S.... B....

  34. W.... P....

    oh no, never mind, i just watched one of your uploads XD what has been seen, cannot be unseen

  35. W.... P....

    killkill691, if you had spelt a single word of that correctly, or if it had made coherent sense at all, maybe people would have taken that a little more seriously. XD

  36. T.... B....

    Shihad is to music what fine wine is to culture.

  37. G.... C....

    killkill691 Jesus Christ calm down.

  38. P.... B....

    @cerphres Haha I was just thinking that. :)

  39. c.... ....

    Is it just me or does Jon looks like John Cusack?

    c.... ....

    Woah! Haha! To all the other kiwi bands that left the music industry Shihad will survive just like U2 and Queen madge.

  40. J.... T....

    1 person is Justin Bieber.

    J.... T....

    Screw beaver! Long live real music.

  41. E.... L....

  46. N.... M....

    John Cussack XD

  47. J.... G....

    @CommunistNewZealand
    Thanks. I definitely have to look for them. Just to give you an idea of my taste, I am actually a big fan of opera and symphonic music, but love a great band like Shihad to kick back to.

  48. h.... ....

    It's a great thing to explore different directions musically or socially.
    The "Beautiful Machine" has that post-punk revivalist vibe in certain songs which were never seen in the earlier works of Shihad.

  49. J.... C....

    awesome musics guys congrats on getting into the nz hall of fame

  50. P.... ....

    I'm a Kiwi who's been living in the US for a few years now, we have website collidingpictures which we've just started up. I try to plug as much Kiwi music as I can with the muso boys I can and anyone who's listening...it's the patriotic thing to do right? That and lets be real, Kiwi music stacks up pretty well in terms of its professionalism and sound. Go Kiwi! Go Shihad, you guys are awesome.

  51. J.... G....

    @CommunistNewZealand
    I actually got my first CD by mistake. Instead of sending it back, I opened it and played it. I loved what I heard and now have most of their stuff.

  52. R.... C....

    dosent he look like John Cusack?

  53. J.... G....

    @CommunistNewZealand Yep. I live near York, PA just south of Harrisburg. I came across Shihad when they were using the name "Pacifier." Their live CD is some of the best music out there and constantly in my car CD player.

  54. J.... G....

    @Regc10 They have far too much talent for the "manufactured" talent being foisted on the US markets. Each of their songs is different and actually have a point.

  55. R.... C....

    Shihad is a amazing band, love nearly each and every one of their songs! sucks they couldn't get a breakthrough in the U.S markets.

  56. c.... ....

    best rock band ever

  57. J.... G....

    61 and still sitting here in Central Pennsylvania, USA and loving your music.
    Great tracks.

  58. G.... ....

    @lalalaroflmao Erm, they are probably off recognising stuff from Killjoy and The General Electric. I hope.

  59. B.... Y....

    Wow, I was thinking the same thing!

  60. H.... J....

    @ngame1994

    i'd totally go to see these guys over ACDC any day.

    not that i don't love ACDC, i just think shihad fucking own

  61. D.... R....

    Priskazka your an idiot, Shihad are amazing

  62. r.... ....

    EPIC ^_^

  63. p.... ....

    Saw them early 90's with Supergroove, from what i remember of the concert it was fucken awesome.

  64. t.... ....

    brilliant!

  65. R.... B....

    it's similar to Hercules, if he shaved it all off he would be unable to write a single note of music

  66. M.... S....

    good song

  67. I.... M....

    Amazing song and band, how come I've never heard of 'em before? :<

  68. S.... K....

    S.... K....

  69. D.... B....

    OMG! I thougt it was John Cusack!! Talk about look-a-like!

  70. x.... ....

    I agree, this is some of their best stuff.

  73. S.... ....
