Robots 3 Humans 0
Norma Jean Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Open that door: I'll follow you into that space
Where nothing is regretted then forgotten

Where is that grace that carries me out? so strange it's mine
It wont be,

[Chorus]
Yesterday when before when before the day of collapsing
And I'll stand through all these lines
Just to make it back to you
Can you help me every step of the way?
We can bury that battle and bury the cause
There is nothing that I can say because I was wrong this time

Everyone knows cause they see the glare in your eyes
Careful now, don't drown yourself ion sorrow
I was the one that built that cross and weighed you down.
And now I'll carry on till it's over, and it's over





[Chorus: x2]

Overall Meaning

In the song "Robots 3 Humans 0" by Norma Jean, the lyrics convey a sense of regret and pleading for forgiveness. The first verse seems to suggest the desire to follow someone into a space where they can forget the past and move forward without regrets. The singer then questions where the grace is that will help them through this process, and realizes that it won't come from the past. The chorus speaks of standing through difficult times, even though the weight of guilt and regret is heavy, and the desire to make it back to someone who can offer help along the way. The second verse seems to be directed at someone specific, acknowledging their pain and the singer's role in causing it. Despite this, the singer speaks about carrying on until it's over.


The song appears to be a reflection on a past relationship that has ended poorly, resulting in the singer feeling guilty and searching for a way to move forward. The sense of regret and pleading for forgiveness is strong throughout the song, culminating in the acknowledgement that they were wrong. The title "Robots 3 Humans 0" perhaps speaks to the idea that in this relationship, the singer felt like they were just going through the motions, or like they were not able to fully connect emotionally.

We can bury that battle and bury the cause
There is nothing that I can say because I was wrong this time

Everyone knows cause they see the glare in your eyes
Careful now, don't drown yourself ion sorrow
I was the one that built that cross and weighed you down.
And now I'll carry on till it's over, and it's over

Yesterday when before the day of collapsing
And I'll stand through all these lines 
Just to make it back to you

how does this video not have millions of views from all the lost kids who listened to this song in the early/mid 2000s????

@nestorluvsher

A lot of musicians got kind of screwed over when the "vevo" pages start becoming a thing. Basically erased all the views that the videos previously had

@Andrew-zt3bf

Because we listen in the shadows. We're still here.

@thehurrytheharm

I think the video only being uploaded in 2010 might have something to do with it
