In my ears. This song is about the world in the future, when the only "living" thins on the surface of the earth is robots, though they can feel and love in the same way as we as humans do. In this way it's a love story about leaving a world that doesn't want you and finding somewhere to rest and just exist in happiness. The things that gives me this feeling:
"You spread your rusty fingers across the ledge."
No need to explain.
"You're broken now like us."
This part gives me a feeling that they are broken and therefore not wanted in the world.
"You reach inside and tears out all your cables;
Snakes of smoke are dripping from your fingers
You have no body- just a cage to hold your parts."
This part doesn't need explanation either.
"Under layers of concrete are the bumps of the past"
I don't know about this really, my first feeling was that the bumps were the humans that created them. I'm not sure what the bumps should indicate, but that's what they mean to me.
Then as this is a electric president song it have got so much depth in the lyrics, I have to explain how I feel about this being a metaphor.
The first verse is a metaphor for humans in our time that feel that they don't belong in a world that looks like the one we live in today. Humans that don't want to go to work, work, get home, eat, sleep, work, eat, sleep, therefore the feeling as if they are "broken", that they don't fit in the role that the world have for them.
The third verse (the one with the inside of cables) is about the physical feeling of sadness, and the feeling of your mind being trapped in your body, not able to think clearly because of your brain being insufficient.
I could go on all day long, but I think you get what I'm after. I really love the feeling in this song. I shall now listen to it for the tenth time in a row. Peace.
