Crystal Castles' track delves into themes of dehumanization and technological control. It portrays a dystopian world where individuals are reduced to mechanical entities, stripping away their humanity and emotions. The lyrics reflect a sense of frustration and disillusionment with artificial existence, highlighting the cold reality of programmed life. "Robotic love" and "AIDS robot," for instance, suggest a parody of intimacy and a mechanical approach to life and mortality. The lines "Robot hunks have one agenda / They wanna play with my placenta" reveal a disturbing view of exploitation and invasion of the human body. Ultimately, the song critiques the reliance on technology and questions the value of life and identity in a controlled, robotic existence.
