In Now, Machado counterposes the lyric ‘I’ with a sclerotic ‘you,’ and gave us a black mirror of phenomenology, where plants and weather reduce our movement and perception for another audience. It’s a manifesto of the you person, what the you wants to say when its pronoun defers or displaces them. Thus the un-pronounced speaker vocalizes that difference.
