Beborn Beton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A reason in these things, in orders we obey
A life's a fragment, too short to take a look behind
A subroutine that gets no intervention
The everlasting kind
The face in front of me, it offers me a smile
And takes my youth instead
A stone abandons my hand to get that face out of my sight
And you are with me all the time, my lost little robot
Master you told me, I belong to you
Watch my words and cool my circuits down
The song Lost Little Robot by Beborn Beton is a reflection on the monotony of life and the blind obedience that comes along with it. The lyrics suggest that we often serve our destiny without questioning the reasons behind the orders we obey. The song speaks to the shortness of life and how we fail to take a closer look at the bigger picture, a concept symbolized by the idea of a fragmented life. The lyrics suggest that we are programmed to operate like machines, running subroutines without ever being given the chance to intervene. It paints a bleak picture of a life controlled by forces beyond our comprehension.
The song also explores the theme of pain and sacrifice. The singer of the song confronts the face of his oppressor, who offers a smile but takes away his youth in exchange. The eyes of the oppressor are too painful to look into, and the singer finds himself incapable of confronting the situation. The line "a stone abandons my hand to get that face out of my sight" refers to the singer's inability to take action, suggesting a sense of helplessness in the face of oppression. Ultimately, the song speaks to the idea of being lost and alone in a world that operates like a machine, where individuality is suppressed in favor of collective obedience.

One of the best electro pop songs ever. It makes me turn the voulme on loudest and sing-a-long, every time. All you neo, wanabee, synth pop/wave artist can learn a lot from this.

Oh what a gorgeous, beautiful synth pop track, almost some poetic propeshy from the near future. Fills me with a joy and sadness that's almost too much to bear.
