Human
Gretta Ray Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don’t hold fast to the past, let it fall away
Disconnect from the next thing that’s coming
Don’t anticipate it, this moment can’t be recreated

Dim the lights as the night bleeds into the day
You and I, widened eyes feel the time begin to slow in motion
Stripped of self awareness, care and clothing
I’m taken to another place with your lips on mine
Thinking in a whole new way as our minds align
Easier to feel than say
Your body is a landscape I’ve travelled over again

I don’t wanna know life outside this room
I don’t wanna know sights besides this view
Come down from a high I am riding on with you
In this fusion, we couldn’t be more human

Colours dancing in my vision, dreaming wide awake
There’s no right or wrong decision
This collision of our souls is sacred
Feeling limitless and liberated

You’d think we were in outer space, nothing’s by design
Seeing in a whole new way as we intertwine
Easier to feel than say
Your body is a landscape I’ve travelled over and over again

I don’t wanna know life outside this room
I don’t wanna know sights besides this view




Come down from a high I am riding on with you
In this fusion, we couldn’t be more human

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Gretta Ray's song "Human" convey a sense of living in the present moment and letting go of the past. The opening lines encourage the listener to release any attachment to the past and not to eagerly anticipate what the future holds. The idea is to fully experience the uniqueness of the present moment, as it cannot be recreated.


As the night transitions into day, the atmosphere changes and time seems to slow down. The singer and their partner are captivated by each other, their eyes widening in awe. They become lost in the moment, shedding their self-awareness and any concerns about external judgments. The mention of stripping away clothing suggests a vulnerability and intimacy between the two.


When the singer's lips meet their partner's, they are transported to another reality, where their thinking patterns and perspectives shift. It becomes easier for them to connect on a deep level, beyond words. The metaphor of the partner's body being compared to a landscape implies the exploration and familiarity that the singer has attained through their shared experiences.


The following lines express a desire to stay within the confines of the present moment and the room where they are together. The outside world becomes irrelevant; the only thing that matters is the connection they share. The high they are riding on suggests a feeling of euphoria that comes from being fully engrossed in this fusion of souls. This experience is described as being truly human, as it encapsulates the essence of connection, intimacy, and vulnerability.


As the chorus continues, the lyrics evoke a dreamlike state where colors dance and decisions become subjective. The collision of their souls is described as sacred, emphasizing the deep spiritual and emotional resonance they feel. The experience makes them feel limitless and liberated, free from constraints and societal expectations.


The bridge highlights the idea that their connection transcends the physical realm. It feels as if they are in outer space, detached from the constructs of human design. The merging of their minds leads to a new way of seeing and experiencing the world. Once again, the focus is on the tangible sensations and the familiarity that comes from repeatedly exploring and understanding each other's bodies.


In conclusion, the song "Human" explores the beauty and significance of being fully present in a moment of intense connection and intimacy. It encourages the listener to let go of the past and future, and to cherish the unique experience of human connection. The lyrics delve into the transformative power of love and the liberation it brings, as well as the timeless and transcendent nature of this kind of relationship. Through vivid imagery and metaphorical language, the songwriter captures the essence of a profound and sacred connection between two individuals.

Gradually return to a normal state from the ecstatic feelings I am experiencing with you

Don't hold fast to the past
Let it fall away
Disconnect from the next thing that's coming
Don't anticipate it
This moment can't be recreated

Dim the lights as the night bleeds into the day
You and I, widened eyes
Feel the time begin to slow motion
Stripped of self-awareness
Care and clothing

I'm taken to another place with your lips on mine
Thinking in a whole new way as our minds align
Easier to feel than say
Your body is a landscape
I've travelled over again

I don't wanna know life outside this room
I don't wanna know sights besides this view
Come down from a high I am riding on with you
In this fusion
We couldn't be more human

Colours dancing in my vision, dreaming wide awake
There's no right or wrong decision
This collision of our souls is sacred
Fellin' limiteless and liberated

You'd thinking we were in outer space
Nothing's by design
Seeing in a whole new way
As we intertwine
Easier to feel than say
Your body is a landscape
I've travelled over and over again

I don't wanna know life outside this room
I don't wanna know sights besides this view
Come down from a high I am riding on with you
In this fusion
We couldn't be more human
I don't wanna know life outside this room
I don't wanna know sights besides this view
Come down from a high I am riding on with you
In this fusion
We couldn't be more human

I don't wanna know life outside this room
I don't wanna know sights besides this view
Come down from a high I am riding on with you
In this fusion
We couldn't be more human
I don't wanna know life outside this room
I don't wanna know sights besides this view
Come down from a high I am riding on with you
In this fusion
We couldn't be more human
