It's OK.
I'm a machine built for sewing split seams and broken dreams
I have my own thoughts but the gears that power them grind to the beat
Today I acted on my own and it surprised both you and me
Feeling love makes me one step closer to being somewhat free
Tell me if I'm wrong for wanting to break my code
If there's a chance there'll be nothing left to show
And if I could just take a step on my own
Curiosity would carry me home
She can make an android shine so the whole world can look and see me
She even takes out the time to check my hardware and please me
These beings that they call 'humans' are so strange and misleading
So please humble me with a smile because young love is never easy
Smorgasbords of strong words, skills, and apathy is what I'm made of
But if she makes me glitch and lag, then this malfunction's nothing to be afraid of
I'll keep working til she smiles or until I short circuit
I hope these dreams of story book romances will keep on working
Tell me if I'm wrong for wanting to break my code
If there's a chance there'll be nothing left to show
And if I could just take a step on my own
Curiosity would carry me home
She can make an android shine so the whole world can look and see me
She even takes out the time to check my hardware and please me
These beings that they call 'humans' are so strange and misleading
So please humble me with a smile because young love is never easy
Here I stand among coat hangers, I guess it's back to work
Everything failed and it wasn't because I lack the good looks or the girth
For every year she gets old and I don't grow, it's a part of my design
This goes to show that love is the only thing that's not made on an assembly line
Break me down and make me something without a false sense of worth
I know I don't feel much but this damage to my data bank really fucking hurts
Now I see why my makers go and destroy the earth
Because feelings like these always fade but the anguish is what's remembered
She can make an android shine so the whole world can look and see me
She even takes out the time to check my hardware and please me
These beings that they call 'humans' are so strange and misleading
So please humble me with a smile because young love is never easy
I guess it's okay.
Android Love
Either the enamored is an AI or the metaphorical male is like an android who (as a young love, first love) tries to break out of shyness (code) or the angush feeling humans are like a broken hearted tin man - either way real or metal, the poem is lovely. I read it three times and had not problem with the emotions expressed, made more poingnant by impossibility and unrequited love between differences. - nice - allets
That was one interpretation,
That was one interpretation, but it's truly about being a musician. Most musicians are forced to follow trends that are set and sell out to become drones, merely turning their love into a mere job. Then she comes along, she meaning passion, and makes you feel as though you can work on your own. Eventually, that passion ages and matures while you become a new machine among certain circles. You go back to work like passion never happened so you don't lose relevance, but you feel it's okay, just for the fact that you had a flame once makes you happy.

Writers who write novels, good ones, then editors and publishers pressure them for pages and they "sell out" literally to their own fame and lose the initial quality that made them famous...I went there, oh yes I did - even with the explaination, I travel to a number of elsewheres, just as I should, neh? - smiles for this one~~~~Lady A
