Not a Robot
Faderhead Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes I run
Sometimes I lose
I'm not a robot
Sometimes I fall
Sometimes I bruise
I'm not a robot

Perform
Conform
Don't feel
Lose your dream
To the machine





Sometimes I'm not
I'm not a robot

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Faderhead's song "Not a Robot" are about the struggle between conformity and individuality. The singer admits to sometimes running and losing, falling and bruising, but asserts that they are not a robot. They are human, with all the flaws and vulnerabilities that come with being alive. The lines "Perform, conform, don't feel, lose your dream to the machine" suggest that there is pressure to conform to societal expectations and suppress one's emotions and dreams in order to fit in. However, the chorus reaffirms the singer's humanity and rejection of robotic conformity with the simple statement "Sometimes I'm not, I'm not a robot."


Overall, the song speaks to the difficulty of balancing the desire to fit in with the need for personal authenticity. It acknowledges the challenges of being human and the struggle to stay true to oneself in a world that can demand conformity.
