Paranoid Android

Paranoid Android = Robespierre's Reign of Terror during the French Revolution. The barbarity and despotism of the Middle Ages had man revert back to pre-Classical era humanity when man's decision making was driven by instinct or neurosis impulse/compulsion rather than cognitive reasoning; perfect parallel to an automated android. Lack of self control. When the absolute monarchy fell, the innately power hungry androids were instinctually driven to seize power. A kind of automated anarchy ensued. Reason driven revolutionaries could easily justify the guillotine as a virtuous means to protect the Revolution from the unreasonable instinct driven androids. So they put an 'uncorruptable man' in charge of ordering executions. But Robespierre lived too much within his own head; he became paranoid of everyone and the paranoia manifested itself to the point where his conspiracy accusations/arrests/executions became inevitable whenever the slightest political dissent was perceived by him; it was called political purging (the panic, the vomit). What it was in reality was paranoia driven automated fascism enacted by Robespierre's devolution into the paradoxical paranoid android.

Ambition makes you look pretty ugly = political ambition resulted in ugly decapitation.

Kicking squealing Guicci little piggy = privileged noble and religious elites. Revolution threatened their inherited monopoly of France's wealth, so they were assumed to be enemies of the Revolution and summarily dragged kicking and squealing to the guillotine. Guicci is Italian fashion but it’s French owned.

Off with his head man off with his head man = self explanatory.

Why don’t you remember my name? = at the end of his Reign, Robespierre was accusing National Convention members of conspiracy. When asked of conspirator's names, he couldn’t remember.

I guess he does = the accused Convention members whose names he couldn’t remember had become the judges of his fate; their names were on his execution order.

Rain down on me, from a great height = literally as the guillotine blade falling and figuratively as the Reign of Terror falling. Reign down on me. I imagine the final scene of Braveheart.

The dust and the screaming = once placed on the dusted off slab, Robespierre is known to have been screaming until the guillotine blade silenced him.

The yuppies networking = the revolution’s emergent middle class establishing mercantilist trade networks.

The panic, the vomit = political purging.

God loves his children, yeah = the revolution had established a Cult of Reason to replace religion. This appalled the paranoid android Robespierre, so he created the Cult of the Supreme Being as the official state religion. He was lovingly rewarded with execution?
