Autonomy
Drenge Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How would you know if I'm funny if there's water in your eyes?
You're just too good to be true
Doesn't that mean there's something wrong with you?
And I'm struggling when to spot
Whether something's real, or something's fake
Or not
Do androids dream of electric sheep?
Or do they dream of being naked in public, and missing teeth?
When they look in the mirror, what do they see?
Do they see badly-dressed, overweight autonomy?
And I'm struggling when to spot
Whether something's real, or something's fake
Or not
Uncanny valley, what is it like?
When I pull a smile, something so bright
When it stares straight through you, you look away
Perfection wasn't what you wanted anyway
And I'm struggling when to spot
Whether something's real, or something's fake
Or not
And I'm struggling when to spot
Whether something's real, or something's fake
Or not
And I'm struggling when to spot
Whether something's real, or something's fake
Or not
The lyrics to Drenge's song "Autonomy" explore the concept of artificial intelligence and the blurring of lines between what is real and what is fake. The opening lines set the tone for the song's introspective mood, as the singer expresses uncertainty about the emotional state of another person. The second line suggests that the person in question might be crying, but the singer can't tell if they are laughing instead, and wonders if their tears are obscuring their ability to experience humor.
The chorus features a repeating phrase that drives home the central theme of the song: "And I'm struggling when to spot, whether something's real, or something's fake, or not." This line is ambiguous and can be interpreted in many ways. It can be read as a comment on the challenges of determining truth in a world where deception is common, or as a reflection on the nature of consciousness and self-awareness.
The second half of the song introduces references to the "uncanny valley," a theory in robotics which suggests that as robots become more human-like in appearance, they begin to elicit feelings of discomfort or even revulsion from humans. The song's final lines touch on the idea that perfection may not be desirable, and that flawed individuals may be more relatable and appealing.
Overall, "Autonomy" is a thought-provoking exploration of identity, emotion, and the boundaries of technology.

It's difficult to know if you're truly happy or sad

Being emotional can prevent you from experiencing humor
You're just too good to be true
Being too perfect can be suspicious
Doesn't that mean there's something wrong with you?
Perfection can indicate a lack of authenticity
And I'm struggling when to spot
Whether something's real, or something's fake
Or not
It's hard to distinguish what's genuine from what's not
Do androids dream of electric sheep?
Do artificial beings have consciousness and imagination?
Or do they dream of being naked in public, and missing teeth?
Do they have nonsensical dreams like humans?
When they look in the mirror, what do they see?
Do they have a self-image or sense of identity?
Do they see badly-dressed, overweight autonomy?
Do they recognize themselves as imperfect and independent?
Uncanny valley, what is it like?
What is it like to encounter something that is almost, but not quite, human-like?
When I pull a smile, something so bright
When I try to mimic human expressions
When it stares straight through you, you look away
When it becomes unsettlingly close to human-like
Perfection wasn't what you wanted anyway
Imperfection can be more relatable and desirable than perfection

For samsung phones users. For superior sound follow these instructions. Install bass EQ, turn the bass slider all the way up and flat all the way down. Don't mess with the other stuff. Then go to your settings on your samsung and tap sound quality and effects. You'll want to touch equalizer, and tap custom. Then you should see something that says advanced. Tap that. Here is the list for what to put down for the different types of sounds.
For 60, 3db
For 150, -7db
For 400, -10db
For 1k, -9db
For 3k, 4db
For 8k, 4db
For 16k, 6db.
I recommend these setting with apple earbuds. But they work with others, just as fine. These sound settings are for those who love to hone in on those beats and melodic riffs!

The flip of the camera at the end there, that throws the orientation of the whole video into question, was pretty cool!
