Some great replies and I think they all work. On one level, this can simply be about an android becoming self-aware and making a run for it. I liked xl5ron's "Blade Runner" take of a human and android escaping. Never thought to seperate those lines into two beings.
On the flip side, it can also be about a human escaping the societal or self-imposed bonds that makes them less than human, be that parents, a job, or self held beliefs and thought patterns.
The title of the song may have been inspired by the Walt Whitman poem "I Sing the Body Electric", which celebrates the human body in all its forms. It's also the title of a Ray Bradbury short story about a family who lose their mother and hire a robot grandmother to replace her.
The numbers 1001001 are binary code for the capital letter 'I'.
