Song Meaning of “Mechanical Love” by In This Moment
‘Mechanical Love’ by In This Moment paints a picture of modern romance—a romance that has become cold and robotic in nature. The song suggests that the concept of love has been reduced to a system of buttons and wires. The singer laments the loss of the more natural, compassionate, and heartfelt aspects of love and reflects on the disappointment of an unfulfilled relationship. Rather than genuine emotion, what is experienced is a robotic, artificial kind of love. There is a feeling of hopelessness as the singer sings ‘Cry, cry, cry, mechanical love’. The singer might be referring to the fact that self-love should not be dependent on another—but without the real, intimate connection of true love, emotional needs can never be met. The song also expresses regret for the loss of what could have been—true love and connection—as ‘Mechanical Love’ remains unfulfilled.
