I Am Not A Robot
Marina The Diamonds Lyrics

You've been acting awful tough lately
Lately, you have been trying to project toughness and strength to the people around you.

Smoking a lot of cigarettes lately
As a way of coping with whatever challenges you might be facing, you have been spending more time smoking cigarettes than usual.

But inside, you're just a little baby
Despite your efforts to appear strong, there is a part of you that feels vulnerable and in need of protection.

It's okay to say you've got a weak spot
Acknowledging your vulnerabilities does not make you any less of a person; it is a necessary part of being human.

You don't always have to be on top
No one is expected to be successful and in control all the time; it is perfectly fine to lose and experience failure once in a while.

Better to be hated
It is better to be disliked for your true self than to be loved for pretending to be someone you're not.

Than loved loved loved for what your not
It is a waste of time and energy to try to be someone you're not just to win the approval of others.

You're vulnerable, you're vulnerable
You are not invincible and you have emotions just like any other person.

You are not a robot
It is important to remember that you are not a machine – you have feelings, needs, and desires that are unique to you as a person.

You're lovable, so lovable
Despite your flaws and vulnerabilities, there are people who care about you and want to see you succeed.

But you're just troubled
However, there may be challenges and obstacles in your life that are preventing you from fully realizing your potential.

Guess what I'm not a robot, a robot
Just like you, I am not a machine and I have emotions and flaws that make me human.

You've been hanging with the unloved kids
You have been spending time with people who are also struggling in life and may not receive as much love and support as they deserve.

Who you never really liked and you never trusted
Despite this, you may have found that you have a connection with these individuals that goes beyond surface-level differences and doubts.

But you are so magnetic, you pick up all the pins
Despite your vulnerabilities and struggles, there is something inherently attractive about you that draws people towards you and makes you someone others want to be around.

Never committing to anything
You may find yourself unable to make decisions or commit to anything because of your fear of failure or rejection.

You don't pick up the phone when it ring, ring, rings
You may be ignoring or avoiding calls from those who are trying to reach out to you and offer help and support.

Don't be so pathetic, just open up and sing
It is important to not let your vulnerability and challenges prevent you from expressing yourself and letting others in.

Can you teach me how to feel real
You may be struggling with feeling disconnected from yourself and the world around you, and seeking guidance from others on how to regain that sense of connection.

Can you turn my power on
You may be seeking external help or resources to help you feel more energized and empowered to take on life's challenges.

Well, let the drum beat drop
With this line, the artist is signaling that the mood of the song is about to shift and become more upbeat and positive.
