no offense to anyone who bit off on the narrator here being an alien/robot/whatever due to the sci-fi connotations associated with album and indeed daft punk in general, but i think lyrically this is a very humanistic track. the narrator is a human being who realizes the value of another human's loving touch but is unable to express what he/she really wants. he/she is trying to find what others describe as "love" but is unable to do so due to incongruities between himself/herself and other people, although is hopeful to eventually experience the feeling of "love."
who knows though. this, like most songs (especially from this album) are wide open to interpretation, which is what makes them great. easily one of, if not the best, track from the album (i would say instant crush would be my only other pick for a better track).
