Lyrics: Lemon Demon - Cabinet Man

Cabinet Man
Lemon Demon
Spirit Phone (2016)
--

The day they found me, I hadn't yet been played
Inside my workshop, behind the old arcade
Electric desires had unraveled all my wires
Now I'm in a box for safekeeping

The news reporters reported that I died
But all my organs were living on inside
Circuit board to brain, with two lungs collecting change
One big human heart gently beeping

You can't win me, I can't be beat
I won't hurt you unless you cheat
You can't see me behind the screen
I'm half human and half machine

Thank God for business; they let me take the floor
I stood so proudly, like I was going to war
Players soon appeared, and I quickly was revered
This must be what love would have felt like

Such dedication, they came from miles away
With eyes so piercing, they'd wait their turn to play
Perfect patient lines
Because I was in their minds
I could do whatever I felt like

You can't win me, I can't be beat
I won't hurt you unless you cheat
You can't see me behind the screen
I'm half human and half machine

I'm happy for years and years and
Only eating the occasional maintenance man
Only driving a few kids to madness
Maybe they were predisposed to madness, who knows?

I only want to have fun
But now they're telling me my days here are done
'Cause there's a tiny little box that they make in Japan
And pretty soon it's gonna fit in your hand

It's getting lonely, it's getting hard to breathe
The arcade's empty; I think it's Christmas Eve
Someone's broken in; now they're painting on my skin

Breaking me and taking my quarters
Bashing in my face with a crowbar
Kicking me and pushing me over
Now they see my blood on their sneakers

You can't win me, I can't be beat
I won't hurt you unless you cheat
You can't see me behind the screen
I'm half human and half machine

that one dislike is from one of the people who broke into the arcade

[ellimacaira]

I'm glad to know that I wasn't the only one who thought/imagined that there was an actual person working inside vending machines, karaoke/jukeboxes, atm machines and those massive arcade cabinets...
Or at least that's what I think this song might be about.
