One Day, Robots Will Cry Lyrics
This won't hurt more than a pinch.
so just pour a drink.
lets talk it over.
i'm back after all these years.
don't be affraid my dear.
now i'm older.
cause people change.
can't you see my eyes.
are they not the same after the lies?
i know i'm like a machine.
but i still have dreams.
i know one day we will...
sleep for days.
come over, come over.
i won't make the same mistakes.
come over, come over.
i'm dying not to hurt you.
in our dreams, we can be complete again.
when you were young, you kept a list.
of the things you'd miss, as you got older.
i've known you, in every life i've lived.
yeah, i'm still a kid.
even though i'm colder.
when you were a child.
i was lost in the wild, but you built a home for me in the road.
i was born the cold.
turn up the heat.
i know one day we will...
sleep for days.
come over, come over.
i won't make the same mistakes.
come over, come over.
i'm dying not to hurt you.
in our dreams, we can be complete.
if we go to sleep, we can wake up home again.
come on over again.
sleep for days.
come over, come over.
i won't make the same mistakes.
come over, come over.
i'm dying not to hurt you.
sleep for days.
come over, come over.
i won't make the same mistakes.
come over, come over.
i'm dying not to hurt you.
in our dreams we can be complete.
if we go to sleep, we can wake up home again.
come over, come over.
come over, come over

It sounds like...he wants to start over. He's reminiscing about all the bad stuff that happened, and if they do one thing they can start all over again. I dont know, i'm probably not making much sense. haha
Sounds like its about a friendship that failed because the narrator was too much of a day dreamer.
its all in the title "one day robots will cry" he doesnt feel anything; no emotion "i know i'm like a machine." but he wants to feel something, hence "will cry"
i think it also has to do w/ the fact that he wants to start over w/ a relationship that he had and they only place it could work is in his dreams and thats why he wants to be sleeping all the time.
It's rather obviously about being a psychopath. He can't really love or care, but he wants to, you know? Wants that kind of happiness. The "a child only colder" is a reference to narcissism I believe, often referred to as adults that are still children at heart, as every child is a narcissist, and narcissism is a key point of psychopathy.
And about the dreaming and sleeping and all that catie ness posted, yeah.
I think that by psychopath you actually meansociopath, someone who has no emotions or concious, narcisism is when one is in love with themselves...so I don't really see where your coming from but okay just thought i would let you know that you might be using the wrong words

Psychopath and sociopath are synonyms, retard. They just keep changing what they call the condition because it becomes a mainstream insult. Actually they don't call it either of those things anymore, it's now referred to as "antisocial personality disorder". But thanks for the heads up that you're stupid, now I can ignore the rest of your comment. :)

MY FAVORITE!
Well, yea same with everyone else, i agree that this about a guy who has no emotions after the break-up, or mess up (hence Robots) and he wants to start over because he's starting to feel the depression and sadness (Will Cry)
ONE MORE THING!!!! Does this song remind anyone else of the book "The Host" by Stephenie Meyer?? That's the first thing I thought of when i heard this song. Like how the soul, didn't have much emotion towards anything, but then with the humans, she starts to love them and becomes very emotional. Eh, maybe it's just me. BUT I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SONG> ;]
Wow, I've never related this song to The Host, but now that I think of it, it does remind me of The Host! :)

Please dear god don't relate this work of masterpiece to anything that the worst most brainwashing writer in the world wrote. And Don't talk about meyers on the internet unless your on a fansite because you will be torn to shreds.

ummm... Narcissism describes the trait of excessive self-love, based on self-image or ego. Often denoting vanity, conceit, egotism or simple selfishness. I don't see how this could be what you mean.
Yeah... every child is a narcissist because they cannot care for other people, they haven't developed that skill yet. "Excessive self-love": they're selfish. Yes, it denotes those things, but narcissism is basically excessive self-love, to the point where you cannot care for other people. That's what very very young children are like, because they simply haven't developed enough mentally not to be selfish. I think you are getting caught up in the media portrayal of narcissism instead of the factual, psychological definition of it, and that's why you you don't understand what I mean--I can't see how else you wouldn't get...

I agree with everyone. The song seems like someone had a relationship with someone who was good to them but, they were self centered and says he was acting like a child and now their older and understand what they were doing and want things to go back to the way they were. And their apologizing of course and trying to get the person to come back to them after all that has happened and the time that has pasted.
This has to be my favorite song out of everything that Cobra Starship has done. I can really relate to it, and I'm sure a lot of others could too.
It's about, or at least what I feel like, how he, or someone, is almost like a robot, no emotions no feelings, acts only like a jerk or is only mean to others, specifically someone that's very close to him/them. "One day robots will cry" would mean that one day him and the others who act like him will soon feel emotion like "normal" humans. "I'm back after all these years"/"I won't make the same mistakes" proves that he must have treated someone close to him badly, and soon realizes what he did was wrong.
"I'm dying not to hurt you-in our dreams we can be complete"- He obviously wants to change, and he feels that only in his dreams he can be with that close person without having to worry about anything such as the past.
And last, my favorite line of the whole song (which btw I'm planning on getting tattooed) "I know I'm like a machine, but I still have dreams"- he realizes his lack of emotion towards others, but wants them to understand that he still is/strives to be a person on the inside.
Fangs up!
I think that he has gone through a seriously tough time and leaves or abandons someone he loves. When he comes back he just wants to start over and "make a home again." Anyone one know what he means my This won't hurt more than a pinch?
