Weird Machine (feat. Nevve)

Droeloe's song 'Weird Machine (feat. Nevve)' is a powerful anthem of self-acceptance and resilience. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who has always felt different, likening themselves to a 'weird machine' and a 'silver screen.' These metaphors suggest a sense of being both a spectacle and an anomaly, something that stands out and doesn't quite fit the norm. The repeated reassurance of 'Don't you worry 'bout me' indicates a strong sense of self-confidence and independence, despite societal pressures to conform.

The narrative of the song takes us from a place of restriction ('Back in nowhere town, I was not allowed to be what I wanna be') to one of liberation and self-discovery ('I opened my wings, I learned to surf the breeze'). This journey from winter to spring symbolizes a personal transformation, a rebirth into a more authentic self. The use of 'gasoline' as a metaphor for fuel and energy highlights the protagonist's readiness to power through obstacles and turn their unique qualities into strengths.

The chorus, with its defiant tone, emphasizes resilience and unity. Lines like 'They can try to shut us down, but we will turn that switch back on' and 'We're not here to fuck around, our phenomenon' convey a message of unyielding determination. The 'smooth motor' and 'strong shoulders' symbolize the inner strength and support system that help the protagonist navigate challenges. The song ultimately celebrates the idea that being different is not just acceptable but extraordinary, and it encourages listeners to embrace their own 'weirdness' as a source of power and creativity.
