Human by The Killers

i'm in a hurry at the moment but ill post a lengthier blog to this when i get home. this song, aside from its quirky melody really has more substance with its lyrics. Read through it and tell me what you think. 


The Killers Human Lyrics:
I did my best to notice 
when the call came down the line 
up to the platform of surrender 
I was brought but I was kind 
and sometimes I get nervous 
when I see an open door 

close your eyes, clear your heart 

cut the cord 
are we human or are we dancer 
my sign is vital, my hands are cold 
and I'm on my knees 
looking for the answer 
are we human or are we dancer 

pay my respects to grace and virtue 
send my condolences to good 
give my regards to soul and romance 
they always did the best they could 
and so long to devotion, 
you taught me everything I know 
wave good bye, wish me well 

you gotta let me go 
are we human or are we dancer 
my sign is vital, my hands are cold

and I'm on my knees 
looking for the answer 
are we human or are we dancer 

will your system be all right 
when you dream of home tonight 
there is no message we're receiving 
let me know is your heart still beating 

are we human or are we dancer 
my sign is vital, my hands are cold 
and I'm on my knees 
looking for the answer 

you've gotta let me know 
are we human or are we dancer 
my sign is vital, my hands are cold 
and I'm on my knees 
looking for the answer 
are we human 
or are we dancer 

are we human or are we dancer 

are we human or are we dancer
* There has been considerable confusion and debate over the line 
"Are we human or are we dancer?" in the song's chorus. Many have 
incorrectly heard "denser" instead of "dancer", a change which 
significantly alters the interpretation of the song's meaning. 
On the band's official website, the biography section states 
that Flowers is singing "Are we human, or are we dancer?" and 
also says that the lyrics were inspired by a disparaging 
comment made by Hunter S. Thompson about how America was raising 
a generation of dancers.
