Daryl Hannah
Optimus Rhyme Lyrics

We're adaptable, we can change everything
Our ability to transform and blend in with our surroundings makes us easily adaptable to different situations

Collapsible covering, you know what we mean
Our external form can be modified to collapse and expand as needed to fit into different environments

Assess situations and blend
We have the ability to evaluate our surroundings and transform to fit in, ensuring we can identify with the norm and minimising disruption

We don't have to test people's patience we fit right in
Our natural ability to blend in means we don't have to test people's patience or stand out from the crowd

Multiple primary skeletal frames
As we are robots, we have a multitude of skeletal frames that can be modified as needed

You know all of that, it's a terrible bore
We've said all of this before and it's become old and boring to us

Another unbearable story to explore
Our transformation capabilities are just another boring story to delve into

Yeah we transform, you heard it all before
Our ability to transform isn't anything new or exciting

Additional forgettable folklore
Our transformation capabilities have become just another piece of forgettable lore

And besides there's thirty fuckin’ Optimus Rhymes
There are many bands or individuals using the name Optimus Rhyme, so it's not a unique name

Some took the name others just assimilate the lines
Some people just use the name Optimus Rhyme, while others copy our style and lyrics

You can even have the words that we invented
We're willing to give up our unique songs and lyrics, as they no longer hold value to us

Throwback vocab constantly shift
Our vocabulary is constantly evolving and changing, even if it's based on old references and nostalgia

You know that we outgrow automated shit
We are evolving and maturing beyond relying solely on technology or automated systems

Let the fluid flow down deep into the ground
We are emotionally overburdened and need to release our emotions

So we are overheated and in need of immediate help
We are under extreme emotional duress and require urgent help

Seem like we're defeated didn't care how it felt
Our emotional turmoil makes it seem like we've lost and we're apathetic to the consequences

Cause we couldn't stop it sitting there repeating ourselves
Our repetition of our emotional experiences has led to us being unable to stop ourselves falling down this emotional spiral

Burn tattoos and we lower flags down
We're willing to give up our previous identities and allegiances

Optimus transform into human beings
We're willing to leave behind our robotic forms and embrace our humanity

When they gonna feed us?
When are we going to receive acknowledgement and recognition for our hard work?

I don't want it all but I kinda wish they'd meet us like halfway
We don't want everything given to us, but we want people to recognise and meet us halfway

See this positronic pathway? Step on it. Yeah it'll lead us to last place
If we continue down our current path, it will only lead to failure and disappointment

Sold a lotta downloads
We've made a lot of sales, but our music has become too easy to steal and distribute

And just gave 'em away, 'cause they're easy to take
Our music has become too easy to steal and distribute, leading to us giving up on trying to protect it

We don't need to get paid, go 'head and burn 'em, ok?
We don't need a financial gain from our music, so people are free to burn and destroy it

It's like Daryl Hannah, I'll give up my homeworld
Similar to how the actress Daryl Hannah gave up her individual identity for various characters, we're willing to give up our robotic identity for embracing humanity

My enemies disintegrate into mist
Our enemies disappear when we face them head on

Just fade into nothingness kiss shit goodbye
Our enemies fade away without a fight, accepting defeat

Run up on my Autobeat Allies
Our allies will support us in the face of adversity

Evaluate and my peers all agree
Our fellow robots agree that we need to evaluate and change our ways

We toss off undercoated lining
We are shedding our old robotic outer casings

Brush off loose bolts, tell us what you're finding
As we are evolving and changing, we want to receive feedback on what we're doing right and wrong

Push pistons, molecular binding
We are changing our physical makeup from the inside out

Drop mad hubcaps, never look behind me
We're dropping our old robotic accessories and never looking back

We movin' to the middle of the planet; no more enemies
We are moving away from the surface and closer to the core of the Earth, where there are no more enemies

We can not state it anymore we will not hog the energy
We don't want to solely rely on energy and technology, but want to fully embrace our humanity

We will not remain in this form we will become true human beings
Our end goal is to fully become human and embrace all that that entails

Shed metal! Radiator, kingpin
We're shedding our old robotic exterior materials and forms

Take off brake pedal push it, leave it leakin’
We're pushing away all of our old robotic functions and leaving them behind

Snap axles, leave it overheatin'
We're breaking and destroying all of our outdated parts and functions

Hit the best planet in the galaxy
Our end goal is to transform to become truly human and live on the best planet in the galaxy
