robots
Kate Ryan Lyrics

Stop what you do cause we are the robots
Our actions are predetermined and we are being controlled by external forces

Stuck in a world that tries to control us
Our freedom is limited by societal norms and expectations

You, you are the static in my dreams
Your presence is disrupting the planned course of events

Secure of electricity
Feeling secure in the knowledge that energy can be harnessed

Like a loop, it's always o-o-on repeat
The same patterns and routines keep playing out

I got revolution in my soul
I am driven to seek change and overthrow the current way of things

Like Cheguevara on the road
Comparing oneself to a revolutionary figure who sought to effect change

Said I'll be "we got to go"
Expressing the need to take immediate action and not be complacent

Robots robots
Repetition of the title to emphasize the theme of being controlled and mechanistic

You, won't make a ...dry out of me
Refusing to be drained of energy or emotion by external forces

I feel the rhythm in my feet
Being attuned to the beat and movement of life

A fistic pounding of the beat
Intensity and force in the way one experiences life

Love, I see the wire in your veins
Noticing the artificiality and lack of real emotion in others

But tell the truth of how you pain
Encouraging others to be honest and vulnerable about their struggles

So many things we can't explain
The complexity and mystery of life that we cannot fully comprehend

Robots dance dance dance
Repetition of the chorus to emphasize the theme of being controlled and mechanistic

Dancing robots dance
Encouragement to embrace free expression and movement

Stop what you do cause we are the robots
Reiterating the need to break free from societal control

Stuck in a world that tries to control us
Reiterating the theme of being oppressed and limited in one's freedom
