You said
“You must listen to me okay?”
You said
“Not bad, but you must change yourself
Yeah, my mind must satisfy all of your thing okay?
You must tell me only 'yes sir'”
欲しいのはただ ひとつの何か
失せた興味戻らない'bye bye'
欲しいのは今 新たな何か
Yes, you have to live for me
Not yourself forever
I'm a robot, I'm a robot
1 “Yes” か 0 “No” の日々を
I'm a robot, I'm a robot
消えかけた 見えない自分 抱えて
I'm a robot, I'm a robot
そう明日も
No, no, I don't know myself
No, no, I must lose it all
No, no, I don't know myself
No, no, I am not my own

You said
“You must erase yourself okay?”
You said
“Alright, you only need to do that much
It is no matter how hard you try okay?
You must tell me only 'yes sir'”
欲しいのはただ ひとつの何か
古い昨日忘れたよ'bye bye'
欲しいのは今 新たな何か
Yes, you have to live for me
Not yourself forever
I'm a robot, I'm a robot
I'm updating everyday
I'm a robot, I'm a robot
望まれた 偽りと 鏡の顔
I'm a robot, I'm a robot that you just want

I'm a robot, I'm a robot
1 “Yes” か 0 “No” の日々を
I'm a robot, I'm a robot
消えかけた 見えない自分 抱えて
I'm a robot, I'm a robot

No, no, I don't know myself
No, no, I must lose it all




No, no, I don't know myself
No, no, I am not my own

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to CN Blue's song "Robot" are about feeling trapped in a toxic relationship where one person is demanding absolute submission and control over the other. The singer is being told that they must change themselves to please the other person, erasing their own desires and needs in the process. The other person is depicted as a ruthless taskmaster, demanding only the answer "yes sir" and reducing the singer to a robot-like state where they have no agency over their own life. The chorus repeats the idea that the singer is a robot, programmed to simply answer "yes" or "no" to the other person's demands, with no sense of self left at all. The final lines emphasize that the singer has lost themselves completely, and they are not their own person anymore.

@ariescute06

Same. I miss them being four members. Its hard to ignore the fact that there's a missing member 😢 without jong hyun it wont be the same

@lizsholihah9095

Right, without Jonghyun's voice it will never be complete

@asectic771

Damm, why is it always the Japanese songs that are more meaningful for them? If only they could put this amount of musical quality in their Korean songs, instead of their typical pop style. That guitar and voice -

@treeguyfly

They’re signed to a Japanese label but they’re actually Korean.

@IonDragonz

@@treeguyfly alot of kpop bands are signed to Korean companies but sign to Japanese companies when they start releasing Japanese songs

@nayelisoto8172

"I'm a robber, I'm a robber" XD that's what I understand.

@TalaPierrot

YONGHWA+JONGHYUN+MINHYUK+JUNGSHIN=GREAT BAND!! I LOVE CNBLUE!!!
