Only Human
Aaron Lee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No candle flickers without the first spark that entices the fire...to grow...
You'll never see a man or woman...
Without love how can they survive...
(We all need, the strength of one)
(We all need, the flesh and blood)
(To feed our hearts, and fill our souls)
Show me a rainbow that shines through the eye of the storm...
With each tomorrow, there is a new love that waits for a chance to be born...
You'll never see a man or woman...
Without love how can they survive...
(We all need, the strength of one)
(We all need, the flesh and blood)
(To feed our hearts, and fill our souls)
(We're only human)
I need somebody who can share my whole life away...
Give me something to believe...
I need somebody who can make my life complete...
Ooh.. yeah, you'll never see a man or woman...
Without love how can they survive...
(We all need, the strength of one)
(We all need, the flesh and blood)
(To feed our hearts, and fill our souls)
(We're only human)..
(We all need, the strength of one)
(We all need, the flesh and blood)
(To feed our hearts, and fill our souls)
(We're only human)...
(We're only human)
(We're only human)...
I'm only human....
The song 'Only Human' by Aaron Lee is an uplifting ballad that talks about the necessity of love and companionship in human life. Through various metaphors, Lee conveys the message that just as a river needs an ocean, a candle needs a spark, and a rainbow needs a storm to shine, humans too need the support and affection of others to survive. According to him, love is the flesh and blood that feeds our hearts and fills our souls. The song has a universal appeal and speaks to the importance of human connection in all our lives.
The lyrics of the song are open-ended and can be interpreted in various ways. Some might see it as a romantic love song, while others might view it as a tribute to friendship or family. The verses and chorus are simple and catchy, making it easy to sing along. Through the repetition of the lines, 'we all need the strength of one,' 'we're only human,' and 'without love how can they survive,' Lee emphasizes the importance of empathy and kindness towards one another. In the end, he admits that he too needs someone to share his life with, someone who can make his life complete.

I saw her at Cayuga Speedway back when "Body Rock" came out, she and her band rocked. There was Honeymoon Suite, Lee Aaron, Kim Mitchel and April Wine. What a great lineup of Canadian talent for that weekend.
JL
I think I was there.
Billie
Glad she's back and performing. A voice that shouldn't be silenced. She rocked the Rockpile Sept 30th. Looks and sounded amazing. She's basically aged one week since I last saw her in 1989
Careless Whisper
She was my first concert in March of 1990 with opener Regatta.
Cuddly Cooper
It's 2019 but I'm still rocking like it's 1987. I still listen to this CD which is by far my favourite Lee Aaron CD
Cody Brockway
My Dad plays bass on this album. Heโs the left handed guy in the video

GATEKEEPER BOXING
@Careless Whisper I like this album probably equally to Call of the Wild, but both of them alot more than Metal Queen & their debut album.
GATEKEEPER BOXING
I like Bodyrock the best, but this was the first Lee Aaron CD I ever heard so it is still special to me too. Track 7 & 8 on this album are probably the only two i'm not so keen on the rest range from okay to awesome.
Careless Whisper
Hands Are Tied and Heartbeat of the World are also stellar!! I probably love the 3 consecutive albums after the debut equally.
