The repeated phrase "steam machine" in Daft Punk's song "Around the World / Harder Better Faster Stronger" likely references the industrial age, specifically steam power, which paved the way for mechanization and automation. The repeated phrase works in contrast to the repeated phrase "around the world," with the former referencing the past and the latter referencing the present and future. In this sense, the song may be seen as a nod to technological progress and its impact on society.
The main chorus of "Harder, better, faster, stronger" may be interpreted as a call to strive towards self-improvement and efficiency. The repetition of the phrase, as well as the use of the words "work it" and "make it," reinforces this idea of working hard to achieve success. The song is also notable for its use of vocoders, which add a robotic and futuristic element to the lyrics.
Overall, "Around the World / Harder Better Faster Stronger" can be interpreted as a celebration of progress and the potential of technology to make our lives easier, but also a warning of the dangers of excessive automation and the need to balance technological advancement with humanity.

What people forget is Daft Punk had many critics in the early 2000’s. Critics who thought they were washed up and their best days were behind them.
Then Alive 2007 happened.
Daft Punk showed they not only had that original flame of brilliance, but they could remix it into a damn God-Ray.
In the following years they would collaborate or be featured in worldwide hit songs constantly. Their influence in music grew ten-fold.
Then as if the critics weren’t BTFO hard enough, RAM was released, earning the Grammy for best album.
Not just best Dance/Electronic album.... best fucking Album.
Lol
@ChakatStripedfur
Daft Punk are the only ones that can remix Daft Punk.
@ZakkyDee
I dunno, look up the We Plants Are Happy Plants mix. They did Alive 2014, and every bit of it was amazing.

Despite Daft Punk retiring, its a relief to know its not because they passed away or anything bad, something that seems to be rare these days with how flipped the world is right now.
