“What if I told you none of it was accidental
And the first night that you saw me, nothing was gonna stop me?
I laid the groundwork and then, just like clockwork
The dominoes cascaded in a line
”  

                                                                               -- Taylor Swift


The above lyrics are from Taylor Swift’s "Mastermind" in her album Midnights. Finding the song highly relatable to my personal life at the time, I turned its lyrics into an automaton. “Mastermind” features a clock and 14 dominoes. Once the dominoes are toppled, they can be brought back up by winding the hour hand on the clock.
