There's a Robot In My Head
Lemon Demon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's a robot in my head.
It is screwing everything up.
I can't sit still. Still.
I hear the servos whirring
All night long. All night long.
If you were to open up my skull
Perched atop my brain,
Moving, stitching, slaving, smiling, waving.
I think he's kinda cute.
Little metal brain parasite,
I love you.
There's a robot in my head.
[Ring.]
Hello?
I am the robot.
Hello?
I am the robot.
Hello?
I am the robot.
Goodbye.

The lyrics of "There's a Robot in My Head" by Lemon Demon describe the peculiar situation of the singer, who has a robot inside his head that is causing him a lot of trouble. The repetition of the line "there's a robot in my head" throughout the song emphasizes the singer's anxiety and frustration about the situation. The lyrics suggest that the robot is affecting the singer's ability to focus, causing him to be restless and unable to sit still. This is conveyed through the repeating line "I can't sit still. Still."
The mention of servos whirring all night long indicates that the robot is always active, and the singer cannot escape its presence. The line "moving, stitching, slaving, smiling, waving" portrays the robot as an active participant in the singer's thoughts and actions. The lyrics could be interpreted as a metaphor for a mental condition, such as anxiety or depression, where an individual experiences constant internal turmoil caused by their own thoughts.
The singer's attitude towards the robot is ambivalent. On the one hand, he recognizes the negative impact it's having on his life. On the other hand, he seems to have developed a strange affection for it, describing it as a "little metal brain parasite" that he loves. The song ends abruptly with the robot answering the phone followed by a click, leaving the listener to ponder the implications of this bizarre situation.
