Technologic Lyrics
Buy it, use it, break it, fix it,
trash it, change it, melt - upgrade it,
charge it, pawn it, zoom it, press it,
snap it, work it, quick - erase it,
write it, get it, paste it, save it,
load it, check it, quick - rewrite it,
plug it, play it, burn it, rip it,
drag and drop it, zip - unzip it,
lock it, fill it, curl it, find it,
view it, curl it, jam - unlock it,
surf it, scroll it, pose it, click it,
cross it, crack it, twitch - update it,
name it, read it, tune it, print it,
scan it, send it, fax - rename it,
touch it, bring it, obey it, watch it,
turn it, leave it, stop - format it.
Technologic, technologic, technologic, technologic
The robot signifys a child. The TV is molding its mind. The repeditiveness of the words tells me that it signifys our repeditivness with technology that we use constantly. All in all- What we do today effects our tommrow; our children will copy what they see. A dark message reviels the truth... Good song. But strong meaning. Our children are like robots they learn from what they see and do what they are tought.
It appears more that the baby robot is being taught those concepts. Some interesting scenes would be with the robot with the TV behind where it is reciting, as in front of a classroom. The dark scene with the 2 members of Daft Punk. Older robots, a sort of future campfire scene? Add in the silhoue3tte hands scenes eerily reminding one of Poltergeist.
This song reminds me very much of fitter-happier by radiohead. I think it has a similar idea behind it of presenting modern life (in this case modern technological life) as a string of phrases most of which are perfectly innocous but hidden within the song are a couple which present the agenda behind it. Here we have "twitch" and "obey it". In the radiohead song we have "concerned, but powerless" and a few others. The particularly fast and upbeat character of this song stems from the phrases mainly being commands.
the first time i heard this song, i hated it.
it grew on me.
Saying people are looking too deep and that it means nothing beyond what words are presented is just ignorant. Groups like Daft Punk and many other talented lyricists and artists take time to create meaning behind their lyrics by using carefully chosen words and how they arrange these words. It's true the general public just looks for catchy beats and words to sing to and don't care to look into what the artists are really trying to say. No one's asking them to or criticizing them for enjoying music that way. But to say there's the words in the song and nothing more is ignorant and, i believe, kind of insulting to the artists who put a lot of effort into their work. An example of a song that might go slightly deeper than you think is Only One by Yellowcard. The sentences of the song are actually broken by the way he sings it and carries a completely different meaning when you read the sentences as you would speak them.
Anyways regarding this song... something no one's brought up. The only word in the song that's not a verb used in a command is the word quick (the second quick should actually be quit). Very subtle but it describes the entire feel of technology and what actions it involves.
i like this song the meanings kinda obviouse. the little robot is the video clip is scary.
I never thought of the similarity to Fitter Happier before, but I see it. This one's a little easier to listen to, at least it has a beat...
go dance with tech(nology) no Logic
;_;
just let go.. love it
