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.
