Lyrics
I write my poems of platonic love that end up shifting to romantic
I express my feelings of platonic love in my poems, but they often evolve into romantic emotions.
It’s algorithmic, I can fantasize, you’re on my mind and understand it You do everything right because...
The connection feels algorithmic; I daydream about you, and it seems like you're on the same wavelength, doing everything right.
You’re just a robot boy that I programmed in my head
You're like a robot boy created in my thoughts, a constructed ideal.
You’re all that I enjoy but you make me so upset
You bring me joy, yet you also cause frustration and upset.
Don’t wanna hear your voice or the soundwaves that spell out your feelings
I avoid hearing your voice or understanding your emotional signals, hoping you'll forget about me.
Just for you to forget
Expressing a desire for emotional detachment.
‘Cause you don’t know me
You lack knowledge of who I truly am.
You think you’re so sincere
You believe you are genuine, but I perceive insincerity.
You think you’re built so well but babe I am an engineer Wish you would hold me
You think you're well-constructed, but I, as an engineer, see flaws.
You just stare blankly at my tears
A wish for emotional connection, but you remain indifferent to my tears.
You’re just a robot boy I’ve always been an engineer
Reiterating the theme of being an engineer and suggesting emotional distance.
I over contemplate, over complicate
Tendency to overthink and complicate matters.
Boy you act so fake and i just play it cool
You act inauthentic, while I try to maintain a composed exterior.
But you see right through it like i almost blew it
Your perception sees through my facade, almost causing a misstep.
So i come to terms with you never glancing in my way
Acceptance of the reality that you may never notice or acknowledge me.
You’re just a robot boy that I programmed in my head
Reiteration of the constructed nature of the ideal person in the speaker's mind.
You’re all that I enjoy but you make me so upset
Despite bringing joy, the "robot boy" causes distress.
Don’t wanna hear your voice or the soundwaves that spell out your feelings Just for you to forget
Continued desire to avoid emotional communication and be forgotten.
‘Cause you don’t know me
Emphasizing the lack of mutual understanding.
You think you’re so sincere
Highlighting perceived insincerity in the robot boy's demeanor.
You think you’re built so well but babe I am an engineer
Asserting the speaker's perspective as an engineer, noticing flaws in the construct.
Wish you would hold me
Expressing a desire for emotional connection, which remains unfulfilled.
You just stare blankly at my tears
Indifference to the speaker's emotions, represented by staring blankly at tears.
You’re just a robot boy I’ve always been an engineer
Reiteration of the theme of emotional distance due to the speaker being an engineer.
You're just a robot i say, I want you still
Explicitly labeling the ideal as a robot but expressing continued desire.
I can’t complain I’ve mapped out every single outcome In every single one,
Acceptance of various potential outcomes, acknowledging the inevitability of disappointment.
We don’t last and i can’t take it
Expressing frustration with the predicted short-lived nature of relationships.
‘Cause you don’t know me
Reiteration of the lack of mutual understanding and sincerity.
You think you’re so sincere
Continued perception of insincerity in the robot boy.
You think you’re built so well but babe I am an engineer Wish you would hold me
Asserting the speaker's role as an engineer, suggesting a deeper understanding of the situation.
You just stare blankly at my tears
Desire for emotional connection persists, but the robot boy remains unresponsive.
You’re just a robot boy I’ve always been an engineer
Concluding with the theme of emotional distance due to the speaker being an engineer.
