When I first heard this song months ago I was amazed. I had a conversation with my girlfriend about how there are 2 people in my world - humans and robots. It's a theory that rings true in my life. The robots are programmed to respond a certain way. They may act like humans and they may act like they feel emotions and they make trick you - but you have to be really careful about who is human and who is not. The humans feel emotion, love, hope, sadness, depression, disappointment, hatred, shame and a million other things.
You can put two robots together in a room. They'll talk about current events and things in their lives at that point. You put them together a few times a week for a year and they still only talk about what happens in their lives today - they don't talk about their emotions, they don't talk about their past, they don't talk about who they are because they are no one. They're hollow shells. Sometimes they have moments where human qualities shine through, but it's because they're programmed so well these days. The soap operas teach them a lot on how to behave in certain situations.
Humans will make an almost instant connection and connect the things of today to what happened years ago. They apply their knowledge learned from past experiences. They feel nostalgia and have memories that they yearn for and know the importance of their past. Their past made them who they are today. But they also understand that they can shape who they are tomorrow. The robots are robots - some learn more than others, but they don't have intricate thoughts. Humans develop theories about people, the world, and everything else in the universe.
I am a human and I'm here to say that you aren't alone. You've never fit in because you've always been surrounded by emotionless robots. You've never felt "perfectly happy" because you understand that there will always be pain and sadness and that it's just as important to express those emotions as happiness and joy. You're not alone. You need to learn how to find other humans and maintain those connections. There are many tactics for doing this, however I don't believe anyone has compiled an actual list. Learn, grow, laugh, love. Don't change for anyone but yourself. Be you and will live an incredible life.
