North by Northwest
robot love story Lyrics

The first lines of "North By Northwest" by Robot Love Story describes a restlessness that seems to plague the singer, an insomniac living in North America. The contrast between his sleeplessness and the calmness of the hemisphere surrounding him is used to highlight the sense of isolation he feels in his romantic life. The lyrics question if the fears and doubts that keep him awake are shared by his lover or if he is truly alone in his anxieties. He longs to hear from his lover, but he almost expects to be disappointed, admitting that a lack of communication will not come as a surprise.

The second half of the song shifts from his waking life to his dreams. The singer imagines himself holding his lover close, even in her absence. He has memories of their time together and feels a strong connection to her, even without the certainty of her feelings for him. He is hoping that he's invading her dreams and making them better, a further sign of his desire to be close to her even in his sleep.

Overall, "North By Northwest" by Robot Love Story is a melancholic song that oscillates between the singer's insecurity and his powerful desires. The lyrics are imbued with a sense of unrequited love, but also a hopeful persistence that perhaps things could be different in the future.
