Robots Took on the Outside of Dogs
Kaospilot Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes at bus stops and on daytime soaps you can here people say "no peace for the wicked"
They never offer a nuanced version.
And maybe words are just noise or a set of marks on paper.
Robots took on the outside of dogs.

Perhaps this sounds obscure, sometimes I presume if I did not think I would be happier.
If I did not think for a second or two I would avoid my anxiety and my tears.
Determined versions would fade away.




Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Kaospilot's "Robots Took on the Outside of Dogs" seem to speak to the idea of societal expectations and what it means to live in a world that values productivity and efficiency over individuality and emotion. The opening lines reference the common phrase "no peace for the wicked," which is often used to imply that those who do wrong will never be allowed to rest or find peace. However, the singer notes that this phrase lacks nuance and suggests that words are often just meaningless noise. This sentiment is encapsulated in the cryptic line "Robots took on the outside of dogs," which could be interpreted to mean that society has become so focused on outward appearances and performing like machines that we've lost touch with our animalistic, emotional selves.
