Deus ex Machina

from Illusions by Ste van Holm

/

about

Nikola Tesla was obsessed with the number three, and I thought the Tesla album should have a song in 3/4 time signature. It didn't fit the rest of the album and ended up here with new lyrics instead. The lyrics are about Isaac Newton, Rene Magritte and Steve Jobs all tied together by apples.

lyrics

In your mothers garden
a refuge from disease
there you sit and wonder
'bout nature's mysteries

Deus ex machina
an apple fall from the tree

A man with bowler hat
elusive but copied a lot
All we see is obscuring something else
his face is hidden partly well

Deus ex machina
an apple fall to the ground

reach inside your pocket
and bring forth the device
this surely changed our habits
I rarely look you in the eyes
anymore

Deus ex machina
an apple turned the world around
