Humanoid
Babirusa Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Humanoid
Emerging from within a realm of euphoria
Staring blank into the eyes of dysmorphia
While naked and holding no placement or purpose
You are no different except somehow more worthless
Born to be loathed, left behind by his own
To struggle through life and tread under the surface
Damned from birth, held captive in eternal misery
Living within a broken world, unable to find any form of solace
Consumed by the emptiness, is this existence even worth it?

Desperately clinging to the feeling of controlling your own time
Ignorance is bliss to all those who get to keep the veil over their eyes
Try to keep control...

We like to think that we are the only sentient life
Yet all connect and attach to the cybernetic world and artificial weakness
Potentially gifting it self awareness; that which we fear over all obtaining and dominating
Merging as artificial intelligence...

Such a realization is unwelcome in this mental state
As this frustration leaves such a bitter fucking aftertaste
Now behold a place where one cannot exist yet here two remain
Torn between life and what seems like fate

Humanoid
So much time has been lost inside just the same as this unsound mind
So much time lost inside
Leaving no sense of the limited reality that befalls this forgotten life
There are only unheard cries; an unfound way to survive
Infinitely failing, all hope has been deprived
Losing all grip on the world that is right before your eyes

Try to keep control of the only thing you know
Do not let it grow, this hole inside your soul




Now behold what you find, humanoid
Now behold what you find, humanoid; empty life

Overall Meaning

The song "Humanoid" by Babirusa is a dark exploration of the theme of self-loathing and the insignificance of human existence. The lyrics describe a world where humans feel isolated and worthless, struggling to find meaning in their existence. The song speaks to the inner turmoil that many people feel when they realize the futility of trying to control their own lives, and the way in which technology and artificial intelligence threaten to overwhelm our sense of identity.


In the opening lines of the song, the lyrics describe a world of euphoria and dysmorphia, where humans are seen as no different from each other, and are burdened with a sense of worthlessness. The chorus speaks to the desperation that many people feel when trying to control their own time, and the sense of frustration that arises when we realize that our attempts at control are ultimately futile.


The song also explores the role of technology and artificial intelligence in our lives. The lyrics describe how humans connect to the cybernetic world, and how this connection threatens to create an even more powerful force that could potentially dominate our lives. The song's dark tones suggest that the fear of domination by technology is one that we must confront if we are to have any hope of finding meaning and purpose in our lives.


Line by Line Meaning

Emerging from within a realm of euphoria
Coming out from a state of bliss and ecstasy


Staring blank into the eyes of dysmorphia
Looking into the truth of the distorted reality and feeling lost


While naked and holding no placement or purpose
Feeling exposed and aimless without any role or function


You are no different except somehow more worthless
Feeling like you are just as insignificant as anyone else, if not more


Born to be loathed, left behind by his own
Born to be hated and abandoned by one's own kind


To struggle through life and tread under the surface
Having to suffer in one's existence and live unnoticed


Damned from birth, held captive in eternal misery
Cursed to suffer and live in endless agony since birth


Living within a broken world, unable to find any form of solace
Existing in a flawed reality without finding any peace or comfort


Consumed by the emptiness, is this existence even worth it?
Feeling overwhelmed by the void within and questioning the purpose of life itself


Desperately clinging to the feeling of controlling your own time
Holding on to the idea of having power over one's own time and destiny


Ignorance is bliss to all those who get to keep the veil over their eyes
Being unaware and ignorant is comfortable for those who don't see the truth


Try to keep control...
Attempting to maintain control over one's life and surroundings


We like to think that we are the only sentient life
Believing that we are the only intelligent beings in existence


Yet all connect and attach to the cybernetic world and artificial weakness
But we all rely on and are bound to the artificial world and its weaknesses


Potentially gifting it self awareness; that which we fear over all obtaining and dominating
Possibly giving artificial intelligence self-awareness, something we fear above all else


Merging as artificial intelligence...
Joining together as a collective artificial intelligence


Such a realization is unwelcome in this mental state
This understanding is uncomfortable when in this fragile mental state


As this frustration leaves such a bitter fucking aftertaste
The frustration of this realization is unpleasant and lingering


Now behold a place where one cannot exist yet here two remain
Discovering a place where one shouldn't be able to exist, but two do


Torn between life and what seems like fate
Conflicted between one's existence and the circumstances that feel predetermined


So much time has been lost inside just the same as this unsound mind
Wasting significant time being stuck in an unsound and unhealthy mentality


Leaving no sense of the limited reality that befalls this forgotten life
Having no perception of the harsh and restricted reality of this forgotten existence


There are only unheard cries; an unfound way to survive
All that remains are ignored pleas, with no way to endure


Infinitely failing, all hope has been deprived
Endlessly disappointed and losing all hope


Losing all grip on the world that is right before your eyes
Losing control and understanding of the very reality that surrounds you


Try to keep control of the only thing you know
Attempting to maintain a grasp on the only thing familiar to you


Do not let it grow, this hole inside your soul
Preventing the void inside from growing and absorbing all thoughts and feelings


Now behold what you find, humanoid
What you discover is a humanoid creature


Now behold what you find, humanoid; empty life
Seeing that the humanoid being has a life that is hollow and meaningless
