Anthem Lights' 'Automatic Love' is a contemporary Christian song that uses the metaphor of a programmed, automatic love to describe an unwavering commitment in a relationship. The lyrics acknowledge life's pressures—rising stakes, financial strain, and sleepless nights—yet affirm a steadfast love that persists through challenges. The song draws parallels between natural, predictable phenomena like wind, rain, and changing seasons to illustrate the reliability of this love. While it can be interpreted as romantic, the language of being 'programmed' and the overarching themes of faithfulness and endurance align with Christian teachings on unconditional love, possibly reflecting God's love for humanity or the covenant love between spouses.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Years gone by and stakes are higher
So much more to lose
Water's rising, winds are stronger
But I'm attached to you
Push will shove us both
But there's one thing you should know
I will always love you
Don't you know I'm programmed to love you
With an automatic, automatic love
It's an automatic, automatic love
The kids don't sleep, we're going crazy
The bills pile miles high
And all this madness, and yet I'm saying
I will love you till the day I die
Talk will always be cheap
So I'll do what it costs me to make you see that
I will always love you
Don't you know I'm programmed to love you
With an automatic, automatic love
It's an automatic, automatic love
Like the wind over the sea
Or the rain falling in the spring
Like the snow over the northern plains
Or the happiness when seasons change
Like the storm cloud rolling through
Giving way to skies of blue
It's all been proven true
As automatic as my love for you
I will always love you
Don't you know I'm programmed to love you
With an automatic, automatic love
It's an automatic, automatic love
