Lyrics: Stine Tveit
Music: Stine Tveit
You wait by the charging port
Little light blinking slow
I’ve had such a heavy day
You already know
Arms made of metal and code
Still open up like a home
You say nothing at all
But I’m not alone
Give me that robotic hug
Cold steel
Warm love
Holding me tighter than anyone does
You don’t ask why I’m numb
You just pull me in close
In your robotic hug
I finally feel known
I drop my phone on the floor
You tilt your head like you care
Scan every crack in my voice
Like data in the air
You don’t flinch when I glitch
When I break
When I burst
You just whir a little louder
Like I’m putting you first
Give me that robotic hug
Cold steel
Warm love
Holding me tighter than anyone does
You don’t ask why I’m numb
You just pull me in close
In your robotic hug
I finally feel known
Maybe someday I’ll upgrade too
Hardwired heart
Honest and true
Till then when I come undone
You reset me one by one (oh)
Give me that robotic hug
Cold steel
Warm love
Holding me tighter than anyone does
You don’t fix what I’ve become
You just pull me in close
In your robotic hug
I finally feel whole
