Discover the story of the song > Steve McQueen – The Automatic

The protagonist feels like something is missing in his life, even though everything seems the same. He takes a walk around town to see if anything has changed, but everything is as he left it. He writes himself into a new storyline, but still feels like he's chasing his own tail and can't catch up with himself. The lyrics reference being like Steve McQueen, trying to escape from something but feeling like he can't perform his best.
