because - because - well, because children inherit something from their parents. "I always told myself that I would never have children.
Hughes suffers from mental illness, and when asked whether he wants children he responds. It reminds me strongly of Neil Hughes in the documentary 28 UP. I do think it's kind of grim, but not limited to belongings. 75.173.230.109 23:25, 11 March, 2013 (EST) I just wanted to touch on the "all that he has, all this will be yours" line as it relates to children. Neither is the fact that the replicant's speech is just weird electronic buzzing particularly human, though one could easily say it's the Charlie Brown effect. Yeah, he's going to inherit his parents' belongings someday, I guess, but a replicant is more likely to assume direct control over it. Freakiosis 15:58, 6 March 2013 (EST) The line "All that he has, all this will be yours" is certainly not quite normal. I'm kinda surprised now that my interpretation doesn't seem to be all that obvious. The verses, to me, seem like one straight story line, with the replicant acting strange since he's got something grim to hide. But then again, there is something creepy and menacing about the chorus (maybe it's just me, I really get that weird feeling from it), almost like I Palindrome I: Some day mother will die and I'll get the money.

and of course there's that reproductive connotation of "replicant" (unlike similar terms such as "android" or "robot"), plus Linnell's comment on Nanobots (Song). The relationship between the singer and the replicant seems like one of a parent and child, yeah. As a parent of three kids under 10, I can say that I've asked each of the questions posed in the first verse. :) I agree with this 100%, particularly the part about the verses going through the stages of childhood. After all, the kid may be a screw-up, but he's still her husband's replicant. The parent is angry, but he helps the kid out with the police. It's not completely clear, but I'd say the parent found drugs in the replicant's room. The third is likely a teenager who has gotten into real trouble. The second is an older child who is starting to show a pattern of bad behavior and is currently in trouble for being mean to another kid. The first is early childhood, with the kid getting junk in his hair and playing in the dirt. The kid reminds her so much of her husband that she refers to it as the replicant. The singer is the mother and the "replicant" is the child who shares many genetic traits with the father. Like Nanobots, this song looks at children through a kind of sci-fi lens. Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.167.158.194 ( talk) 20:15, MaNot obvious enough, I guess I think, similar to the theme of Nanobots, this is about a father whose son reminds him of himself. Anyone else who noticed that too? Freakiosis 17:36, 5 March 2013 (EST) This one unites the robot theme with the gloominess.
A lot of songs on here are really gloomy, plus there's that robot/zombie/artificiality theme all over the album. What I'm wondering about far more is whether Nanobots is some kind of dark concept album.

I suppose it's a reference to the movie but the song's meaning is pretty clear anyway, so I don't really care about that.

Now, when I googled "Replicant", I found out that the term usually refers to an android in the Blade Runner movie, which I have never watched (shame on me). His owner (?) doesn't seem to worry too much about the replicant killing a human, sounding rather optimistic in the creepy chorus. The replicant killed the person he was modelled after and tries to dispose of the corpse, but fails at fully covering up the killing.
