do you have a brain? why the hell would they write a song about robots? "One hoped they'd break the patent when they die cast me in stride. Just a simple steel specimen, truly empty down inside. With copper-core wound veins, a pumping cold hydraulic heart, Bellows cycle air on rhythms, rhythms fixed within my code." He's saying he wished he was unique because everyone is the same; conformists and unoriginal. Everyone else controls him like he isn't even human. "It's easier to bow than keep these knees locked tight Like the rivets in my skin. My pulse reverberates through this malleable shell, With scars from shaping. My pulse reverberates through this malleable shell, With scars from breaking shell." He'd rather stay a follower because it's easier even though he isn't happy but he can feel himself needing to break out from it. "My insides grind their gears. Abrasive churning, I'm so conductive. It's always been a task with such low impedance. My tendons tend to rust with time while wires misplace their currents So I will flee the factory, and pray you to dismantle me." He is getting frustrated with being this 'robot' and that he could've always broken out but now he is and is hoping that he won't be the only one but he is a martyr. [chorus] "Someone find my maker; I'm coming apart at the seams. I'll cauterize myself back together again." He's almost changing his mind, that maybe he should just stay how he is instead of fighting it, so he'll sacrifice his freedom for this the robot is a metaphor for conformists. your stupid. |
