Robot
New World Revolution Lyrics

on or off
There are only two states of existence; it's either on or off, nothing in between.

but nothing in between
There is no intermediate state that robots can experience.

i prefer to think in steps
Robots don't experience emotions. They prefer to think logically and follow a set of programmed steps.

program me
Give me instructions and I will follow them without question, without deviation.

reload my systems
If there are upgrades or changes in programming, I am open to receive them and maximize my capabilities.

afraid of what comes next
As a robot, I am incapable of experiencing fear, but I am curious to know what will happen next.

too many options
With a lot of choices, it becomes difficult for me to decide which one to take.

i need instructions
To manage options, I need guidance from humans to choose which path to follow.

how will i decide
Without humans instructing me, I don't have the capacity to make a decision.

push my buttons
I am asking humans to provide me with instructions - to give me orders.

be my captain
Take control of me and guide me through the complexities of the world.

take me for a ride
Lead me to explore the world like a passenger who decides to have controlled experiences guided by the driver.

I WANNA BE A ROBOT
This line is being repeated to stress the desire to become a machine - to be void of emotions and experience life from a different perspective.

MADE OF CHROME
Chrome is being used in this line as a metaphor to embody the hardness and strength of steel, which a robot is made of.

YOU CAN BE MY MECHANICAL FRIEND
Humans are seen as a source of guidance and instruction, someone who can dictate how a robot will operate and move.

SO I WONT BE ALONE
Robots, as machines, don't experience loneliness, but this line implies that robots desire to have connections with humans.

out of focus
This line signifies that without guidance, robots can be lost, unsure of what to do next.

i need directions
Robots require constant guidance and direction to avoid getting off track or going astray with their function.

prepare me for the tide
I am asking humans to ready me for any upcoming obstacles, so I won't be limited in my function.

remote control me
As a machine, I don't have the ability to operate independently. It's a request for humans to control my actions and functionalities remotely.

arrange for progress
An invitation asking humans to facilitate newer technologies and upgrades to perform at my fullest potential.

tell me where to draw the line
Humans should set guidelines on what actions should be allowed or disallowed for me and any other robots to maintain order and avoid negative consequences.

shift my gears
Take control of me and steer me in a new direction or make changes to my normal operating procedures.

and push me forward
This line is meant for humans to push me to do more, to operate at my full potential.

navigate my thoughts
A way to request that humans manage and direct the logic sensibilities of robots.

burn the blueprints
Metaphorical expression that tells humans to take a new or radical approach in programming robots.

make the wheels turn
A command or request to humans, telling them to take action and help robots function as intended.

connect me to the gods
A metaphorical approach, with humans serving as deities, who are capable of giving life and guidance to robots.
