Cover art for Hawaiian Robots lyrics by Something For Kate

i can't believe this song has NO comments. it's amazing!!

i think to be saying that you're "better off as a robot" is saying that it is better for you to be incapable of human interaction and deep emotion and relationships. & to "be better off in Hawaii" is saying that you should be cut off from the world, from everybody else, be somewhere far away.

so it seems to be that this person has caused damage to others, or some damage has been inflicted upon him, by way of other people. i'm not sure what the verses mean, though, but it's beautiful songwriting nonetheless.
