Not Human
Hocico Lyrics

So you feel now all the pain
You have finally started to experience the agony of life.

It's only impressions of decay
However, this pain is only temporary and insignificant in the grand scheme of the inevitable process of decay and destruction.

You go deep with the ghosts
You delve into the realm of the supernatural and connect with spirits.

And they teach you how to breathe
These ghosts impart upon you a new way of living and help you find a new outlook on life.

You see now what you did
You finally comprehend the consequences of your actions.

You're not human after all
As you come to terms with your wrongdoing, you realize that you are no better than the beasts of the earth.

You saw your god and you smiled
You thought you found a higher being to guide you and bring you happiness.

You saw him crying as a child
However, upon closer examination, you discovered that even your god is not infallible, and suffers the same pain and sorrow as lesser beings.

As in your dream [4x]
This truth is so painful and difficult to accept that you can only process it in your subconscious, through dreams.

Just go backwards, just don't try to feign
Trying to pretend that you didn't see the truth will only cause more harm, so it's best to regress back to a time before this realization.

Pieces of what I was, I start to drink the rain
In order to cope with the emotional turmoil, you turn to drinking in the elements and taking solace in nature.

That runs from my face
As the rain drips off your face, you realize that you are no different from any other organism on this planet.

I try to escape from my own dreams
However, no matter how hard you try to escape, you can't run from the truth that you have learned.

But a voice tells me, "Hey! You're not human, you're not human."
Throughout all of this, you begin to hear voices that tell you that you are different from the rest of humanity.

Violence is what you want, so come and break my face
You become so consumed by your primal urges that you crave violence and physical pain.

As you always wished, so come and break my face
This isn't a one-time desire; you've always yearned for violent acts.

I will never laugh
The reality of the world is too bleak to ever find joy or laughter again.

I will never laugh again, that's all
This is your new reality, and there's no going back to the person you were before gaining this knowledge.

I'm not human [8x]
You repeat this phrase as a mantra to remind yourself of the profound change that has occurred to you.
