Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Traje
sin descansar
de sol a sol
o perecí
y no sentí
ningún dolor
solo fuí
una sombra

sin corazón
no soy un robot.
Dentro del
espejo hay
una visión
se puede ver
un hombre gris y una prisión
ójala solo fuera ciencia ficción
no soy un robot.
Ese futuro
no es para mí
abre mi mente
Quiero salir de aquí, i, i
Hazme ver
hazme reir
hazme llorar
No voy a ser
esclavo ni un día más
ábreme la ventana
y te abre luz
no soy un robot.
Ese futuro
no es para mí
no tengo miedo
voy a salir de aquí, i
ese futuro,
ese futuro,
ese futuro.
ese futuro,
ese futuro,
ese futuro.
no soy,
ese futuro,
ese futuro,
no soy

un robot
ese futuro,
ese futuro,
un robot
ese futuro.
ese futuro,
ese futuro,
ese futuro.
ese futuro,

ese futuro,
ese futuro.

Overall Meaning

Niños Mutantes's song "Robot" is about feeling trapped in a monotonous, exhausting routine without any satisfaction or emotion. The singer describes themselves as a "suit" that works tirelessly from sunrise to sundown until they eventually perish without feeling anything. In the mirror, they see a grey man trapped in a prison, wishing that it were only science fiction. Despite feeling like a robot, they're not one. The future they see for themselves is not one where they're a slave to their work; rather, they want to break free from their current situation and experience all the highs and lows of life.

Throughout "Robot," Niños Mutantes touches on the themes of identity, monotony, and breaking free from societal expectations. The singer is struggling with their own identity and feels trapped by the monotonous routine that society expects of them. They long to break free from their robot-like existence but feel powerless until someone or something opens their eyes to the possibilities around them. The repetition of the phrase "ese futuro" (that future) highlights that the singer has a vision of what they want to be, but they don't know exactly how to get there.
