Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Smoking a lot of cigarettes lately
But inside, you're just a little baby
It's okay to say you've got a weak spot
You don't always have to be on top
Better to be hated
Than loved loved loved for what your not
You are not a robot
You're lovable, so lovable
But you're just troubled
Guess what I'm not a robot, a robot
Guess what I'm not a robot, a robot
You've been hanging with the unloved kids
Who you never really liked and you never trusted
But you are so magnetic, you pick up all the pins
Never committing to anything
You don't pick up the phone when it ring, ring, rings
Don't be so pathetic, just open up and sing
I'm vulnerable, I'm vulnerable
I am not a robot
You're lovable, so lovable
But you're just troubled
Guess what I'm not a robot, a robot
Guess what I'm not a robot, a robot
Can you teach me how to feel real
Can you turn my power on
Well, let the drum beat drop
Guess what I'm not a robot
Guess what I'm not a robot
Guess what I'm not a robot, a robot
Guess what I'm not a robot, a robot
Guess what I'm not a robot, a robot
Guess what I'm not a robot, a robot
The lyrics of Marina and The Diamonds & Lady Gaga's song Alejandro's Not a Robot speaks about vulnerability and the struggle to show one's true self. The opening lines reveal the singer's confusion and concern for the person she is addressing, who has been acting tough and smoking a lot of cigarettes. The lyrics suggest that, despite her facade of toughness, this person is a little baby at heart, vulnerable and perhaps struggling with their true identity. The lyrics encourage this person to open up and show their true selves, even if it means being hated for it.
The chorus confirms that the singer recognizes the vulnerability in this person and reassures them that being vulnerable is not a bad thing. She reminds them that they are not robots - they are capable of feeling and deserving of love. The second verse suggests that this person has been hanging out with the wrong people, and despite not connecting with them, they have an undeniable charm that attracts them. The singer urges this person to stop being so closed off and sing - to let their guard down and be vulnerable. Finally, the song ends with a plea to be taught how to feel real and to let the power within them be turned on.
