The Robot With Human Hair Pt. 4 Lyrics

Back to sloth and sleeping binges
Self defeating outburst, cringes
Thoughts gets rusty, creaky hinges
Lost that box of clean syringes

Stuck to the ceiling I'm in view
Can't shake the notion I'm becoming you
The look from above same as below
Sign up for high, free dose of low

The Jig is up, I'm the one
Manipulate the ones I love
Light my path, reveal the beacon
Where's my balance
Can't stop thinking
Stop

I wear soul on my sleeve at night
Searching for substance
I lose control of my autonomic mind

Waiting for the impulse
And I saw the rage burning in your eyes

Your thoughts intangible
Follow me down, we'll get paralyzed

Around the winding road

Hang on, hang on
Don't lose composure now

Hang on hang on

Feed into the miracle

Don't be fucking cynical
Hang on, hang on

Don't lose composure now

Hang on hang on

Girl don't be so difficult

Come here let's get physical

Sinus pressure
Getting older
I like weight upon my shoulders

Here I live inside this cd
Tell your friends he's super creepy

Weirded out
A simple human
confused by words
arrange and move them
into spaces no apparent meaning
eat this song your ears are greedy

Cut out this conversation, desperation, now

losing admiration, holding onto accidents

What have I done, what have I done?

That calls for your attention?

What have I done?
What have I done?

That keeps you hanging on?

I can turn it off again
I can smile on a whim
I can make believe in him
The function in the algorithm

Personally, I think this is about falling back into drug usage. "I wear soul on my sleeve at night Searching for substance I lose control of my autonomic mind 
Waiting for the impulse" At night, the singer is unstable and is looking for a quick fix to his autonomic mind.

Honestly, I think this part is kind of humerus: "And I saw the rage burning in your eyes
 Your thoughts intangible Follow me down, we'll get paralyzed"

The singer realizes it's affecting the people around him, but kind of just tells the people around him to join him in the drug usage.

As for the catchy chorus of "hang on, hang on" I see that as someone close to him trying to talk the singer out of falling into another drug phase. They're telling him "
Feed into the miracle", but he responds with "don't be fucking cynical".

and the end, there's a bit of a realization that the drugs aren't fixing his problems "
losing admiration, holding onto accidents
 What have I done, what have I done?"

ending with "I can turn it off again", it's a bit of a plea to the person close to him, saying he's quit drugs before, he can do it again.

My Interpretation

Yeah, I can agree with everything you just said. Such a powerful song.

Your Autonomic nervous system is the part of your brain that does everything without your conscious consent (i.e.- digestion, heart rate, sweating ect.) I would argue that "lose control of my autonomic mind" is meaning that the drugs he's been taking have physical side-effects that he can't control.

Honestly, it sounds like this song is about Jonny. "feed into the miracle...cynical" is about when he came back for DBM2. People thought he couldn't kick his drug addiction and fans called them cynical. Jon's second verse seemingly describes Jonny's writing style too.

I second this. as someone who used to do drugs CONSTANTLY, this song speaks to me in that way.

Given the drug usage relevance... Think its a shot at or a soliloquy to Jonny?

Nope they are extremely close still. Just like when he was kicked out the first time. You will most likely see him do guest appearances at shows.

I can def see the drug reference. As far as if its about jonny or not, i feel like they do that in a few songs on this album. I think he is the robot with human hair

i agree with thinking he is the robot with human hair cause through out dgd after pt three came out he went and made pt 2.5 almost like wait you missed this
