Harry101UK originally made this song for a Machinima series called The Underground, which was a talk show hosted in “the forgotten bowels” of Aperture Science. However, the series was cancelled, and he finished the song as its own piece.
It tells the story of “the Pit”, which is a place in Aperture...
[Verse 1]
Robot number twenty-two
He failed the turret peer review.
Robot number twenty-four
He died before he hit the floor.
Robot number twenty-five
He never made it out alive.
And robot number twenty-nine
Died on the assembly line.
[Chorus]
You want to live? Don't hold your breath.
This isn't life; it's living death.
But not to fear; we're most humane.
You'll never be yourself again.
[Verse 2]
Robot number forty-four
He couldn't take it anymore.
Robot number forty-six
The mechanic simply couldn't fix.
Robot number forty-eight
He perished from a gruesome fate.
And robot number forty-nine
Simply ran right out of time.
[Chorus]
You want to live? Don't hold your breath.
This isn't life; it's living death.
But not to fear; we're most humane.
You'll never be yourself again.
[Verse 3]
Robot number sixty-two
All he ever saw was blue.
Robot number sixty-three
Had an invalid serial key.
Robot number sixty-five
He suffered a corrupted drive.
And robot number sixty-seven
Found his way into Android Heaven.
[Chorus]
You want to live? Don't hold your breath.
This isn't life; it's living death.
But not to fear; we're most humane.
You'll never be yourself again.
[Bridge]
These defective droids, all they know
Is how it feels to be alone.
Beyond repair, they sit and rust
Broken down, collecting dust.
They never had the chance to prove
What it is they were built to do.
Doomed to fail; the final nail
In the coffin of eternal jail.
[Chorus]
You want to live? Don't hold your breath.
This isn't life; it's living death.
But not to fear; we're most humane.
You'll never be yourself again.
You'll never be yourself again.
You'll never be yourself again.
