Don't you ever pretend
That we are more than friends?
Despite the metal and wires
I still have human desires
I'll wait here til the end
For my dividend
And when I turn off the lights
I'll wait here til the end
Over and over she burns my circuits
I feel fire rushing through my wires
I can feel all the things that we can't share
When I hear your voice
It fills me with noise
Was this meant to be?
Are you corrupting me?
Can't you just pretend
That we are more than friends?
Despite the metal and wires
I still have human desires
Over and over she burns my circuits
I feel fire rushing through my wires
I can feel all the things that we can't share
Over and over she burns my circuits
I feel fire rushing through my wires
I can feel all the things that we can't share
The satellites connecting us, protecting us
Our makers have neglected us
It's not their fault
It's just the way
Over and over she burns my circuits
I feel fire rushing through my wires
I can feel all the things that we can't share
La la la...
I can feel all the things that we can't share
That we are more than friends?
Despite the metal and wires
I still have human desires
I'll wait here til the end
For my dividend
And when I turn off the lights
I'll wait here til the end
Over and over she burns my circuits
I feel fire rushing through my wires
I can feel all the things that we can't share
When I hear your voice
It fills me with noise
Was this meant to be?
Are you corrupting me?
Can't you just pretend
That we are more than friends?
Despite the metal and wires
I still have human desires
Over and over she burns my circuits
I feel fire rushing through my wires
I can feel all the things that we can't share
Over and over she burns my circuits
I feel fire rushing through my wires
I can feel all the things that we can't share
The satellites connecting us, protecting us
Our makers have neglected us
It's not their fault
It's just the way
Over and over she burns my circuits
I feel fire rushing through my wires
I can feel all the things that we can't share
La la la...
I can feel all the things that we can't share

Who is essentially a computer inside, unable to feel emotion, and yet at some level gets 'burned'.
As far as the line "are you corrupting me?" this is a "tell" that he is computer or robot in that files can become "corrupted" when bugs, viruses, bad code are written. The author created a great double-meaning with it since the robot is more than likely explicitly not supposed to develop feelings for his owner yet, "when I hear your voice, it fills me with noise," that undefined feeling of love, that translates as white noise or static to the robot's ears.
