I saw a saviour, a saviour come my way I thought I'd see it in the cold light of day But now I realize that I'm only for me If only I could see you return myself to me And recognize the poison in my heart There is no other place, no one else I face The remedy will agree with how I feel Here in my reflecting, what more can I say? For I am guilty for the voice that I obey Too scared to sacrifice the choice chosen for me If only I could see you return myself to me And recognize the poison in my heart There is no other place, no one else I face The remedy to agree with how I feel

Adrian Utley revelou que a ideia da batida “brutal” de “Machine Gun” surgiu de um sonho que teve, no qual ouviu sequências analógicas duras e fragmentadas.
A faixa incorpora um sample de um órgão antigo, especificamente um Orla Tiffany 4, que Geoff Barrow descreveu como “terrível”.
Beth Gibbons compôs a parte vocal da música como um hino, criando um contraste deliberado com os ritmos agressivos da base.
O final da canção apresenta um synth inspirado em John Carpenter, utilizando o sintetizador Siel Orchestra.
Utley comentou que seria interessante ouvir uma banda de desfile americana reinterpretar “Machine Gun”.
