As a huge Daft Punk fan, I’ve never seen it, but it makes a helluva a lot of sense.

Veronica, if you believe “it could be about anything” in terms of tech, and Ryan’s hypothesis is related to technology, then by your own definition Ryan is right too.

I look at it as a working song – You have one file no matter what format it is and you can do a million things with it. So in that the lyrics are just about working with little human interaction. And by using the vocoder on the vocals it only reiterates that robot mentallity. It’s post modern, it’s a place where robots talk to each other and humans are having everything done for them… Look at Automator on OS X, (I bet this is Otto’s theme song)… while he thinks about over throwing the human race…

To me it sounds like a commentary on the monotony of using technology. Basically, the song is saying “stop using your computer, it’s just buttons and plastic. Get out and live your life in the real world”. Or maybe that’s just me wishing that I was still on holiday ;-).
