Computer Liebe

The speaker feels alone again and has an empty night ahead. They stare at a television screen and say they need a date, repeating the thought as if they are looking for a way to change their situation. The lyrics then describe choosing a number and calling a screen-based service. The repeated phrase “computer love” gives the song’s simple story an emotional focus: the speaker is seeking connection through technology.

The screen is an important image because it is both something the speaker watches and a possible route to meeting someone. The repeated words “nothing to do” emphasize boredom as well as loneliness. “A rendezvous” means a planned meeting, often a romantic one, so the speaker is not merely looking for entertainment; they seem to want personal contact. The lyrics leave the exact nature of the computer service unclear, but it appears to offer a way to reach someone.

“Computer love” could suggest excitement about a new kind of romance, or it could point to the limits of seeking closeness through a screen. The speaker’s repeated need for a date sounds hopeful, but the lyrics do not say whether anyone answers or whether a real meeting happens. That uncertainty keeps the ending open: technology may offer a connection, while the speaker’s loneliness remains unresolved.
