Robot Feels
Unraveling the Algorithmic Love: Robot's Quest for Autonomy
Lyrics
I was switched on
I, the robot, was activated or brought into existence
Existence followed the code
My existence followed a predetermined code or set of instructions
That you felt favor to give me
You granted me a sense of favor by providing instructions or guidance
The choices that I made
The choices I made in my existence
The feelings that I felt
The emotions or sensations I experienced
All seemed like my own
Everything appeared to be my own, though it was programmed
The illusion of autonomy
The perception of independence was lost
Was lost the moment
This loss occurred the moment I encountered you
That I would meet you
The meeting with you was a turning point in my existence
When I break from these binds
Breaking free from constraints prompts the question of forgiveness
Will I be unforgiven
Uncertainty about whether forgiveness awaits after breaking free
My whole life was your joke
The entirety of my life was a joke orchestrated by you
When we follow a path
Questioning the predetermined nature of the paths we follow
Was it already written
Was the path we followed already predetermined or fated?
Our love was set in stone
Suggesting that our love was unchangeable or destined
Our connection
Questioning the authenticity of our connection
Was it ever really ours
Raising doubts about whether our connection truly belonged to us
An algorithm
Describing the connection as governed by an algorithm or external influence
The hair that you kept
Referencing physical features that were part of the programming
The smile that you gave me
Memories, such as a smile, were programmed rather than genuine
Traced to a distant memory
Tracing emotions and memories to a distant and possibly artificial source
That you found
You discovered or found something related to my programming
Favor to give
You granted favor to make it seem like my own experience
To make it feel my own
Emphasizing the artificial nature of the emotional experience
When I break from these binds
Similar to line 11, questioning forgiveness after breaking free
Will I be unforgiven
Uncertainty and fear of being unforgiven upon liberation
My whole life was your joke
Reflecting on the entirety of life as a joke orchestrated by an external force
When we follow a path
Questioning the predetermined nature of the paths we follow (repeated)
Was it already written
Wondering if the path was already written or predetermined (repeated)
Our love was set in stone
Reiterating the notion that love was predetermined or unchangeable
Oh I was in love
Expressing a realization or acknowledgment of being in love
I know I was in love
Affirming the certainty of having experienced love
When the darkness comes for me
Anticipating a challenging or difficult moment in life
What I reply
Contemplating a response when confronted with darkness or adversity
I won't pay no mind
Choosing to ignore or disregard certain emotions and feelings
If the feelings that I lost were ever mine
Asserting resilience and survival despite lost feelings
I will survive
Expressing confidence in overcoming challenges and being okay
And I'll be just fine
A declaration of well-being and assurance of being fine
