Discover the story of the song > Automatic – Lake Street Dive

The protagonist is being completely controlled by their romantic partner. They feel helpless and their defenses are down. They can't control their emotions or physical reactions when their partner is around, and it's like all their systems shut down.

In these lyrics, the protagonist is describing how their partner has complete control over them. They feel powerless and unable to resist their partner's influence. It's like they're walking blindly and their emotions and body responses are completely automatic.
