Implying that he is a humanoid, he lacks some of the essential things that makes humans human. Although his heart “beats on”, he doesn’t seem to care because it’s not really affecting him like it would for a real human being.

Coming in as the title track of the album, Bill describes himself as a “humanoid” or a being with an appearance of a human (like a robot) meaning that he doesn’t have all of the real qualities that a human usually has (i.e. love, compassion, etc.).

At this point, he wishes to experience this world that’s new to him but he’s not necessarily ready to do it alone. This is reminiscent of their song Dark Side Of The Sun where Bill talks about not being alone to go into the night. As long as you’re with someone else, everything will be fine.

Bill is cautious and even a bit afraid of the real world despite people telling him it’s great outside. This all comes down to whether or not he is ready to make that decision for himself and experience something new and foreign to what he’s used to.

Stated earlier above, this girl is like a robot and automatic in the sense that she doesn’t know how to love properly. She seems to be the master at not reciprocating the love she’s being given by Bill which he himself is also starting to realize.

This girl that Bill is referring to is like an artificial being in where she doesn’t have a heart. Because of that, she doesn’t seem to reciprocate the love Bill is giving to her. “Automatic” refers to how she says things without meaning or substance; she just says things that he would want to hear.

It’s the infamous buddy system!

Everyone knows that it’s much easier to do something when you have multiple people on the same team. There’s always power in numbers; knowing that, there’s no reason why we should have to go through anything alone.

Life is much too short and flawed; in the time we have been given, we need to realize that it’s actually not a lot of time we have and try to change the world.

You can also tell that Bill is alluding to the idea that the world is getting darker as time progresses. We are the people who inhabit the world, so we should be able to change it as we see fit. We’re still here, aren’t we?
