Human Instead
J Rice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But that may never be possible,
But I can dream
Like riding a horse,
Mining some oars,
Building a house,
And crafting a sword,
Feeling the warmth of the sun on my head,
I wish that I could be a human instead,
A human instead,
And not be used to make bread,
And go out in the sun and not be dead,
And sleep in a bed,
Well it′s not my fault I'm made a little violent, ya see,
And when you hear arrows come flying,
"I′m deeply sorry"
It's out of my hands, I've got no control
It′s in my code, if you didn′t know,
I'm supposed to be mean, and shoot at your head,
Honestly I′d rather be,
A human instead,
A human instead,
Not be used to make bread,
Not go in the sun and be so dead,
And sleep in a bed,
I'm not the only one who wishes to be human,
The creeper has waited forever, Don′t forget the zombie-pigmen,
Maybe if I wait right here, until there is a new sun,
I'll burn alive an then respawn,
Onlt this time as a humans,
"Skelly, I have heard,"
"Your words have touched my heart"
Now I′m a human instead,
Yah, I'm a human instead,
I'll be the the one making bread,
I′ll go outside and not be dead,
And sleep in my b-
The lyrics of J Rice’s “Human Instead” convey the desire of a Minecraft skeleton to experience life as a human. The skeleton character laments over not having control over its violent behavior as it is in his character to shoot arrows at people. The skeleton shares his dreams of doing things that humans do, like riding horses, mining ores, building houses, feeling the warmth of the sun on his head, and crafting swords.
The song talks about the skeleton’s wish to bask in the sun without dying, sleep in a bed, and not just be used to make bread. The chorus "I wish that I could be a human instead, not be used to make bread, not go in the sun and be so dead, and sleep in a bed" emphasizes the skeleton's yearning and dream of being human.
The song denotes a bigger reflection on how even the digital characters wish for the basic experiences that humans take for granted. The lyrics highlight the need for freedom to experience and enjoy life fully. Overall, 'Human Instead' projects a powerful message of what it means to be human and to feel all of life's pleasures and experiences.
