Robots (song)

"Robots" is a song by the Canadian rock band Marianas Trench, featured on their 2009 album, Masterpiece Theatre. The song is known for its complex arrangements, dynamic shifts, and incorporation of various musical styles beyond standard rock, including elements of pop, theatrical rock, and even classical music influences.

Lyrically, "Robots" explores themes of conformity, societal pressure, and the struggle to maintain individuality in a world that encourages uniformity. The lyrics often depict a dystopian or metaphorical landscape where people are becoming increasingly robotic and emotionless, sacrificing their unique identities for the sake of fitting in.

The song's structure is unconventional, moving through distinct sections with varying tempos and instrumentation. This contributes to the overall feeling of unease and the thematic exploration of a fractured and dehumanized society. "Robots" is considered a standout track on Masterpiece Theatre and is often cited as an example of Marianas Trench's ambitious and intricate songwriting. Its layered vocals, intricate instrumental arrangements, and thought-provoking lyrics have made it a fan favorite.
