Human
Jon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I think about the words you said back then
Life's like fruit when it comes to the basics
I thought I'd shaken hands with the devil himself
But it was nothing more than a fire in my temple
I wanna touch life itself
Serious and scolding
I wanna turn around
Till I'm no longer human
I wanna meet my roots
Till I'm no longer human
Trying to make my mind up am I on the right side
I'm only half way back
We were meant to ramble like little birds
But this is nothing more than a dried up stream
When I'm touching the fresh leaves
I feel the joy of belonging
I wanna turn around
Till I'm no longer human




I wanna meet my roots
Till I'm no longer human

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Jon's song "Human" speak about the yearning for a deeper, more meaningful connection with life and the world around us. The opening lines "I think about the words you said back then, life's like fruit when it comes to the basics" suggest that the singer is reflecting on advice they received in the past and the idea that life is simple at its core.

The chorus, "I wanna touch life itself, serious and scolding, I wanna turn around, till I'm no longer human, I wanna meet my roots, till I'm no longer human" expresses a desire to fully experience life, to break free from the confines of humanity and connect with the roots of existence. The final lines "We were meant to ramble like little birds but this is nothing more than a dried up stream, when I'm touching the fresh leaves I feel the joy of belonging" suggest a natural inclination to explore and discover, but the harsh reality of limitations and obstacles. However, the singer finds solace in the beauty of nature and the sense of belonging it provides.


Overall, the lyrics of "Human" convey a sense of searching for something more, an urge to break free from mundane existence and connect with the depth and meaning of life.

TURN AWAY,
IF YOU COULD GET ME A DRINK
OF WATER, CUZ MY LIPS ARE CHAPPED AND FADED
CALL MY AUNT MARIE
HELP HER GATHER ALL MY THINGS
AND BURY ME IN ALL MY FAVORITE COLORS
MY SISTERS AND MY BROTHERS STILL
I WILL NOT KISS YOU...
CUZ THE HARDEST PART OF THIS
IS LEAVING YOU!
-My Chemical Romance (Cancer)

I always fear that I'm not living right
So I feel guilty when I go to church
The pastor tells me I've been saved, I'm fine
Then please explain to me why my chest still hurts
I spent four thousand on the Mart McFlys
Yet I'm still petrified of going broke
There's someone gorgeous in my bed tonight
Yet I'm still petrified that I'll die alone

[Hook]
I'm just so sick of being human
I'm just so sick of being human
I'm just so sick of being human
I'm just so sick of being...

[Post-Hook]
Na, na, na-na, oh, nay
Nan, nan, nan, nan
Ooh, ah-ah, aye

[Verse 2]
My mother calls I have no time to talk
But I can find the time to drink and smoke
Took 15 hits 'till I can barely walk
I threw up on the lawn, I can't find my phone
I got no guts to tell the one I love
That she's the reason that I wrote this song
And that's some coward shit I know it sucks
But Lauren call me when you hear this on

[Hook]
I'm just so sick of being human
I'm just so sick of being human
I'm just so sick of being human
I'm just so sick of being...

[Post-Hook]
Na, na, na-na, oh, nay
Nan, nan, nan, nan
Ooh, ah-ah, aye

[Bridge]
See I got GPS on my phone
And I can follow it to get home
If my location's never unknown
Then tell me why I still feel lost
Tell me why I still feel lost

[Outro]
Tell me why I still feel
Tell me why I still feel
Tell me why I still feel human
Tell me why I still feel
Tell me why I still feel
(Human, human, human, human)
