Resurrection
Love Robot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've set my sights.
Don't think that I can't see,
you've been looking at me, all night.
Eyes lock & everybody else stops.
You talk & everybody else walks.
Your thoughts, are matching up with my thoughts.
And I'm thinking we better get out of here.
I get what I want, when I want and I want you.
Come in close.
I wanna feel your breath send shivers through my backbone.
Soft & smooth I want you & I know that you want me too.
Captivated when you say my name,
but you make me wait.
I'm only trying to make you melt
& have you all to myself.
I get what I want, when I want and I'm looking at you.
(and you can't say no)
I'm looking at you.
(and you can't say no)
I get what I want, when I want and I want you.
(and you can'y say no, you can't say)
I get what I want,
I get what I want,
I get what I want
and I'm looking at you.
(and you can't say no)
I'm looking at you.
(no, you can't say)
I get what I want,
I get what I want,
I get what I want
and I want you.
And if you put up a fight,
I'll pin you down & keep you up all night.
So won't you let me do
all the things I know that you want me to.
I get what I want, when I want and I'm looking at you.
(and you can't say no)
I'm looking at you.
(and you can't say no)
I get what I want, when I want and I want you.
(and you can'y say no, you can't say)
I get what I want,
I get what I want,
I get what I want
and I'm looking at you.
(and you can't say no)
I'm looking at you.
(no, you can't say)
I get what I want,
I get what I want,
I get what I want
and I want you.
and I want you.
and I want you.
I want you.
I want you.
The lyrics to Love Robot's song "Resurrection" are about a person who is very attracted to someone they see at a party. They are very confident and feel they can get whatever they want, including this person they're eyeing. They describe how their thoughts match up with the other person's, and they feel like they need to get out of there together. They want to feel the person's breath and be close to them, but also mention that if the person resists, they will "pin [them] down & keep [them] up all night." Ultimately, the song is about someone who feels very entitled to getting whatever they want, even if it means forcing themselves upon someone else.
The lyrics of this song come across as predatory and inappropriate, as they describe the singer's desire to have someone else despite any potential resistance. The chorus, "I get what I want, when I want and I want you," sounds coercive and nonconsensual. The tone of the song is also aggressive, suggesting that the singer will use force to get what they want. This song is a disturbing portrayal of someone who is not respectful of others' boundaries and desires.
