XXZXCUZX Me
Crystal Castles Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We can insist on havoc
Bring me the tools
Pleasure our insides
You said, leave me for dead
How can you love
Program the head?

We get so fed up with it
Nuts and bolts for granted
Run, I can do it
As your bodies fall apart

Robotic love
I'm programmed to rust
AIDS robot
Is grinding iron bolts

Robot hunks have one agenda
They wanna play with my placenta
Are we now deserving
When our cyborg parts are burning?
I know we're just diseased appliances
Where will you live?
What will you die for?
Sex is killing me

Baby, I know
Wrong time, wrong place, wrong fucking race
Just because we don't feel flesh
Doesn't mean we don't fear death

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Crystal Castles's song "xxzxcuzx me" are a commentary on the idea of love and relationships within a society that is increasingly disassociated and disconnected from human emotion. The first stanza seems to be a challenge to society's norms, with the artists insisting on causing chaos and finding pleasure within themselves, rather than in others. The line "how can you love? Program the head" speaks to the idea that modern technology and media may be programming people's ideas of love and relationships, rather than them being genuine emotions.


The second stanza takes on a more robotic and industrial tone, with the lines "nuts and bolts for granted" and "as your bodies fall apart" referencing the idea that people are becoming more and more like machines, just functioning and breaking down like pieces of machinery. The line "robotic love, I'm programmed to run" speaks to the idea that relationships are becoming more transactional and less genuine, with people running away when they feel uncomfortable or when things get too difficult.


The final stanza takes a darker turn, with the artists acknowledging their own dehumanization and the idea that they are just "diseased appliances". The lines "sex is killing me" and "just because we don't feel flesh doesn't mean we don't fear death" speak to the idea that even though we may be becoming more robotic and disconnected, we are still mortal beings with the same fears and desires as always.


Overall, "xxzxcuzx me" is a haunting and thought-provoking commentary on modern society's disassociation and dehumanization.
