Save The Robots
Institute (Gavin Rossdale) Lyrics

The lyrics to Institute's song "Save the Robots" seems to be a call to action, an urging to not only save oneself from the troubles of the world but also to save the machines we have created, the sentient robots that are becoming more and more present in our everyday lives. The lyrics suggest that we need to focus on the future and not let the present problems weigh us down. The phrase "keep your head to the future, boy" is Gavin Rossdale's way of saying that we need to keep focused on the goals and not on the obstacles in our way.

The second verse alludes to an accidental collision, perhaps the collision of the two worlds: human and machine. A realization that we have fallen so far from earth, from what is natural and real. The chorus comes back with the idea of not needing a "gooroo" or a "mantra" to guide us on this journey of saving ourselves and the robots. We can only try whatever works and hope that it's not too late.

Overall, the meaning of the song is open to interpretation, but it seems to be a call for reflection and action. We need to focus on the future and find ways to coexist with the technological advancements we have made. We need to save ourselves from becoming obsolete and save the robots we have created from becoming obsolete, too.
