Discover the story of the song > Binary Love – The Rakes

The song is about a robot (the protagonist) who has human-like desires and feelings towards his partner (referred as 'she' in the lyrics), but they can't share the same experiences because of their differences. The robot is waiting for his 'dividend', possibly an upgrade, and he questions whether his partner is corrupting him. The song also mentions the neglect of their makers but implies it's no one's fault. Despite their limitations, the robot can't help feeling the intensity of his love towards his partner, which is represented as fire rushing through his wires.
