Metal Lyrics

Cover art for Metal lyrics by Gary Numan

Mallory used to make padlocks, and thats what I always interpreted this as, a secure, hard to break heart, when it fails, breaks or is unlocked, he becomes human and doing so exhibits the emotional torment of that trauma "I could CRAWL around the floor..."

@gingermick In the UK, Mallory made 'Duracell' batteries which were extra long life electric cells - again, it ties in to the android dimension that everyone else has mentioned.
