Rabbit 04:00
There’s a rabbit hanging outside my window There’s a rabbit hanging outside my window I want to follow him and see where he goes There’s a rabbit hanging outside my window He fears the sun He fears the light He watches me Every night There’s a riot hanging outside my window There’s Orion hanging outside my window I boarded up all the doors and the windows To keep the police away To keep the bullies away I fear the sun I fear the light I fear the darkness In their eyes I fear the love That’s turned to hate I fear my heart Is bound to break I feel alive But I’m ashamed I fear that I Am to blame

Talk to Me 03:17
You wannabe just like me But you don’t speak or hear the words You say you read philosophy and yet you struggle to be heard It’s ok It’s okay to talk to me It’s okay it’s ok to talk to me Everyone’s fighting I started crying I feel excited again The end is never the end Don’t know they’re dead Just checking in again Feeding on the ripples in your head Philosophy ain’t doing it for me Holding out for something better It’s ok it’s okay to talk to me It’s okay it’s ok to talk to me It’s ok it’s ok it’s ok it’s ok It’s okay it’s okay to talk to me The end is never the end

Comforting 03:11
You ran away so long ago That I forget if you were ever mine I think you got the best of me The best of me hopes you are doing fine You turned your back on everyone Now everyone thinks you are dead inside People come people go And I don’t know If you are still alive I’ll wait my turn Feeling the burn Your touch is so comforting, comforting I woke up and nothing’s changed Another day and I still feel the same I think I got the best if you The best if you don’t even know my name I jumped into a crystal pool of red and blue I tried to disappear Trouble comes trouble goes and I don’t know What I am doing here I’ll wait my turn Feeling the burn Your touch is so comforting, comforting
5.
The Backseat 04:22
Your muscles move you Your mouth it starts You feel the yearning in the secret parts It’s never filled up the way you wish Warm to the touch But an empty kiss How does it feel to know that you’re killing me When you get your body lows that don’t mean anything Your words don’t sooth me I’m falling off the track Two steps forward And three steps back The concrete’s broken Frozen in the dark You know that I still love you With my jaded How does it feel to know that you’re killing me I know I’m losing you but I’ll keep listening But here I am I been waiting I’m afraid I’ll mess it up again Depression lies And I’ve been listening I’m trapped in the backseat With my friend I’m trapped in the backseat, with my friend I’m trapped in the backseat, with my friend I’m trapped in the backseat, with my friend

I hope you and I can all survive Do you need me anymore? I had to crash and burn For you to learn I’m on your side I won’t apologize for you again It costs me every time It costs me every time I had to crash and burn For you to learn I’m on your side I’m on your side I’m on your side The rest is up to you But you were never there No you were never there I hope you and I can all survive Do you need me anymore? Do you need me anymore? Do you need me anymore?

How have we all come to sink to the bottom The lights are all out and somebody’s home Can’t go outside, losing my mind Everything’s fine passing the time How have we all come to sink to the bottom The flowers need water and nobody’s home Lost in the tide, swallow my pride I’m still alive but I’m dead inside How have we all come to sink to the bottom The people next door seem happy and kind But what do the hide And whisper at night I hope they’re fine Passing the time

Dull Drone 04:00
We’ve had no use of talking lately We never sleep enough these days And somewhere there’s a quiet whisper I’m never sure if you’re ok We’re thinning out Drifting thoughts between us We’re screaming out In this empty house I’m reaching out But you’re out of focus You’re spinning out Where you can’t be found I’m hoping for a window Tp let me feel your breath again I’m hoping for a window If only you would let me in I heard your voice Calling from the white noise And you heard me cry With the static of the street lights It’s just a dull drone saying come back home It’s just a sad hum Where have we gone? I’m working for the Devil, baby Selling all ive got to give What’s the use of trying so hard That ain’t any way to ive We’re thinning out Drifting thoughts between us We’re screaming out In this empty house I’m reaching out But you’re out of focus You’re spinning out Where you can’t be found I’m hoping for a window Tp let me feel your breath again I’m hoping for a window If only you would let me in I heard your voice Calling from the white noise And you heard me cry With the static of the street lights It’s just a dull drone saying come back home It’s just a sad hum Where have we gone

Pan 03:30
If I start changing I won’t forget what I set out to be Pick and choosing memories If the shivering sunlight Feels trite then you’ve lost the ability To love everything you see Say goodbye to the world All you boys and girls You’re never gonna leave And you’re never coming back Say goodbye to the world All you boys and girls You’re never gonna leave And you’re never coming back Again Someday we’ll get old Time grows but not inside of me Push and pulling reality When truth buries feeling It will sting but not inside of me Pick and choosing your destiny Say goodbye to the world All you boys and girls You’re never gonna leave And you’re never coming back Say goodbye to the world All you boys and girls You’re never gonna leave And you’re never coming back Say goodbye to the world All you boys and girls You’re never gonna leave And you’re never looking back again

Poppy Fields 09:46
Once in a while I would like to smile Without my head spinning Please give me peace Let the flowers sing And lull the earth to sleep Pack and leave Let me be Alone Let me be There’s no way out of this haze Been roaming and searching for Days And I’m hoping that I will be safe I’m worried I’m starting to fade Pack and leave, let me be, alone, let me be Pack and leave, let me be alone, let me be I never sleep only dream I’ve spoken with faces that I’ve never seen Lover, will you comfort me? Don’t make any promises that you can’t keep Tell me dear do you fear? When I’m on the poppy everything That I see, that I hear Always feels so real Falling apart at the seams Waking up crazy and lost in between Tell me dear do you fear? When I’m on the poppy everything That I see, that I hear Always feels so real and polite My darling I’m not right So don’t wait for me there The colors, the colors are all bare I can only do my best The rest is up To the will of the Heavens Every now and then I get stuck In the Poppy Fields Pushing my luck And I’m trying to fight For every inch of my life Do you feel when the earth stands still Or is it me trying to find Something real With my wasted time

Goodbye See you later Don’t be sad I’ll be home for dinner Can’t believe how long it’s been Driving home from Brooklyn Trapped inside my friends cab I realize after drinking too much whiskey That I’m already jet lagged This red eye’s revealing all my insides Flying through the lonely sky Clinging to pain I’m no good at pretending A piece of me was left behind And everywhere you go If anyone wants to know, they will know I’m with you, I’m with you, I’m with you I’m with you, I’m with you, I’m with you Goodbye See you later Don’t be sad

about

Fellow Robot originally started out as a concept piece in 2016, pulling lyrics from the sci-fi novel The Robot’s Guide to Music written by singer Anthony Pedroza. While deeply rooted to its origins, Misanthropioid is an album that lives closer to reality than science fiction however blurred those lines are these days.

Fellow Robot named their new album MISANTHROPIOID, due to its brutally honest lyrics and melancholy feelings surrounding what it is to be a human. “It’s our soundtrack to the last few years'' says Pedroza, adding “it’s a diverse take on the perception of emotion, especially regarding how we feel about our fellow humans''.

However dark Misanthropioid is, it’s ultimately hopeful within its vulnerable and carefully stitched arrangements. The album at times is theatrical and dramatic, each song seemingly being sung by different characters in a stage production, especially in songs like “I’m Going to Hell” and “The People Next Door”.

“Society has many voices, and the space in between the harshest opinions are the most truthful” says drummer, engineer and cofounder Luis Renteria. “Ultimately we made a record how we were feeling”.

MISANTHROPIOID is Fellow Robot’s first release since 2020, and it’s clear their patience has payed off. While their first albums are feats of their own, this new record has a sound so timeless, that it is something to repeat. The band is defenseless against the exposed melody’s and words they have presented. The groups longest song to date is “Poppy Fields”,clocking in close to ten minutes is a musical painting of sorrow and determination.
