Mrs. Robota
Virtual Longing: Mrs. Robota's Illusory Love
Lyrics
Oh everyday and just every night
Expressing a regular occurrence of thoughts both day and night.
I see your face babe on my laptop screen
Seeing the person's face on a laptop screen, indicating a virtual connection.
You're high and low and just between
Describing the person's emotional state as fluctuating between highs and lows.
Oh everyday and just every night
Reiterating the constant thoughts throughout the day and night.
I send an e-mail to the dream factory
Sending an email metaphorically to a "dream factory," seeking confirmation of reality.
I asked if you're reality
Questioning the reality of the person being communicated with.
But more and more I like you more than just before
Expressing an increasing affection for the person.
Oh la da die, oh la da da
Singing a playful melody ("la da die, oh la da da") expressing affection.
Only a vision, Mrs. Robota
Stating that the person is only a vision, named "Mrs. Robota."
Oh, oh, oh, la da die, oh la da da
Repeating the affectionate melody and emphasizing the virtual nature ("Only a computer, without a heart").
Only a computer, without a heart
Clarifying the lack of emotional depth in the virtual connection.
Oh Mrs. Robota, just a fantasy can't break my heart
Asserting that a fantasy cannot cause heartbreak.
Mrs. Robota, only a fiction, right from the start
Emphasizing that the connection is purely fictional from the beginning.
It's impossible
Expressing the impossibility of a real, emotional connection with the virtual entity.
Oh every morning, when I wake up
Describing a morning routine involving a virtual game.
I push the bottom for a brand new game
Using a button metaphor to symbolize starting a new day or experience.
Can't live without you, it's a shame
Expressing dependence on the virtual connection as a shame.
I hear your voice, and I see your face
Hearing the person's voice and seeing their face virtually.
I can't believe, oh babe you blow my mind
Expressing disbelief at the impact the virtual connection has on the person.
There is no answer, I can find
Stating the inability to find answers or clarity in the virtual relationship.
And more and more I like you more than just before
Reiterating the growing affection for the virtual entity.
