Humanoid
Babirusa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
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
