Lyrics

Designed with flaws all the above

Highlighting intentional imperfections in design

We’re programmed to fail and stick the course

Acknowledging programmed tendencies to fail but persist

That leads us to love

Emphasizing the path leading to love despite challenges

When it rarely pans out

Expressing the rarity of successful love experiences

You fell for the human soul and through the back door

Describing falling for the human soul through unconventional means

Where all the robots lead us to war

Linking human vulnerabilities to potential conflicts and wars

Until they figure us out

Anticipating consequences when others understand our nature

Saviour, failure, faker

Listing roles or personas of individuals: savior, failure, faker

Turn into a

Transitioning or transforming into a new state or identity

Gun shots like ticking clocks

Gunshots symbolizing the passing of time or impending danger

As a slave to the rhythm of life support

Being controlled by the rhythm of life support, possibly metaphorical

Know it won’t be enough

Acknowledging insufficiency even with continuous effort

When the power’s out

Highlighting challenges when faced with power outages

Gun shots like painful conversations

Gunshots representing painful and difficult conversations

I really should have had by now

Reflecting on missed opportunities for personal growth

My blood is wires

Metaphorical description of blood as wires, suggesting artificiality

You fell for the human soul and through the back door

Reiteration of falling for human qualities with potential consequences

Where all the robots lead us to war

Reiterating the link between human vulnerabilities and conflict

I am an infinite

Identifying as something boundless or limitless

Saviour, failure, faker

Repeating the roles or personas of individuals

Turn into a

Transitioning or transforming into a new state or identity

(The skin is metal

Introducing a refrain or recurring theme: "The skin is metal"

The blood is faithless

Describing the blood as untrustworthy or lacking fidelity

Keep looking for me

Encouraging continued search or exploration for the speaker

I am an infinite)

Reiteration of being infinite

I am an infinite

Repeating the assertion of being infinite

Place

Referencing a place, potentially metaphorical or symbolic
