Spamming the comments tonight but i think this song is about a guy whos in love and tries hard to block it out out, sowmwhat like a robot that cant / shouldn't feel emtions but no matter how hard he tries there still there... the verse
"I went to the man, I told him a robot is what I am,
But he just smiled, said I was a fractious child
"Distrusted not Rusted" That's why I feel so disgusted
But I know he's wrong, 'cause I haven't felt this way for very long"
is more of a self reflection in the sense that the "man" could be himself trying to convince himself that he had no feelings but instead comes back with he reply "yes, you have but you've tried so hard to bury them that are new / alien to you and they may disgust you but thats the way it is."
Either way i think its a song about someone trying to bury feelings of love and using the TV, computer or whatever else emotionless distraction is there to convince himself that he doesnt have feelings either but never quite succeeding
