human
Krewella Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Is anybody there,
Does anybody care
What I'm feeling?
I wanna disappear so nobody can hear me when I'm screamin'
'Cause I could use a hand sometimes
Yeah I could use a hand sometimes
They say pain is an illusion
This is just a bruise and
You are just confused but
I am only human
I could use a hand sometimes
I am only human
I am only human
I am only human

The night is bitter cold
I wonder if you know
That I'm sleepless
Waitin' like a ghost
When I need you the most
That go unnoticed
'Cause I could use a hand sometimes
Yeah I could use a hand sometimes
They say pain is an illusion
This is just a bruise and
You are just confused but
I am only human
I could use a hand sometimes
I am only human
I am only human

The weight of the world is pullin' me down
(Where are you now, where are you now)
Every breathe feels like I'm gonna drown
(Where are you now, where are you now)
I'm the only one left to hold on this earth
Singin' this song but can't find the words
'Cause I could use a hand sometimes
Yeah I could use a hand sometimes
They say pain is an illusion
This is just a bruise and
You are just confused but
I am only human




I could use a hand sometimes
I am only human

Overall Meaning

Krewella's song "Human" is a powerful expression of vulnerability and the need for connection. The lyrics speak to the universal human experience of feeling alone and overwhelmed by the weight of the world. The song starts with the singer questioning whether anyone is listening and if anyone cares about her feelings. She wants to disappear so that no one can hear her screaming, acknowledging the pain and the need for help.


The chorus repeats the phrase "I am only human," emphasizing the singer's humanity and frailty. Even though people may say that pain is an illusion, she acknowledges that the pain and confusion are real. The second verse continues to explore the feeling of being alone, waiting like a ghost for someone who doesn't seem to notice her distress. The weight of the world is pulling her down, and she feels like she's drowning.


The bridge expresses the desperation of the singer's situation. She is the only one left to hold on this earth, singing a song that she can't find the words for. The repeated refrain of "I could use a hand sometimes" is a direct plea for help, for someone to reach out and offer support.


Overall, "Human" is a moving portrayal of the human experience of needing connection and understanding. The lyrics speak to the isolation that can come with feeling overwhelmed and the importance of reaching out to others.

Is anybody there?
Does anybody care
What I'm feeling?
I wanna disappear
So nobody can hear
Me when I'm screamin'

'Cause I could use a hand sometimes
Yeah, I could use a hand sometimes

They say pain is an illusion
This is just a bruise
And you are just confused
But I am only human
I could use a hand sometimes
I am only human [3x]

The night is bitter cold
I wonder if you know
That I'm sleepless
Waitin' like a ghost
When I need you the most
I go unnoticed

'Cause I could use a hand sometimes
Yeah, I could use a hand sometimes

They say pain is an illusion
This is just a bruise
And you are just confused
But I am only human
I could use a hand sometimes
I am only human [2x]

The weight of the world is pullin' me down
(Where are you now, where are you now?)
Every breath feels like I'm gonna drown
(Where are you now, where are you now?)
I'm the only one left alone on this Earth
Singin' this song but can't find the words

'Cause I could use a hand sometimes
Yeah, I could use a hand sometimes

They say pain is an illusion
This is just a bruise
And you are just confused
But I am only human

I could use a hand sometimes
I am only human



@Mr_Noche_Sucio

I can't watch this video without actually crying... like am I crying...
with them?
About them?
About us?
Us without them?
Them back then without us?
Us trying to be them at the same time falling short in the most broken way that they would only understand despite never even knowing we existed and yet voicing us our pain along with their pain in the same breath and they never having the chance to see how many of our souls they touched and carried through the most broken of our culture's times...
I don't even know..
With this video I'm just crying for all of it. This was a mile marker for our edm culture, our street culture, our dubstep culture, our emotional culture. Nobody will ever voice our suffocated souls at that time in history but Krewella.

A little over a year ago I met this girl, we quickly became close
friends then best friends, towards the end of 2015 I started to feel
more for her but didn't think too much of it, then about 2 months ago
she lost someone who meant so much to her, that day I realized how I
truly felt about her, I knew she was lost and hurt and in pain, and if I
could, I would bear the weight of all that pain for her so she didn't
have to. I was so heartbroken knowing she felt that way and there was
nothing I could do....that day I realized I found the one and that I
would do anything for her, so 4 weeks ago I told her how I felt, I told
her when I'm around her everything feels natural, it feels like home, I
said so much more, even said that she is my best friend and I don't want
to lose her. Her answer to me was at the time "I don't know"... I
understood that based on the situation she was already in but when I
went to hand her, her keys that night, she didn't just take the keys,
she held my hand, looked me in the eyes and said " don't leave", at that
moment I knew that she cared too. few days after that had went by and
yea it was awkward but then we got past that, 2 weeks went by and I felt
like I was losing a friend, so I did something I have never done
before, I went to her, I went to her to let her know that this was what I
felt was happening and I didn't want it to happen, I went to save the
friendship, after that I felt everything was fine then the next day I
got text from her and she basically ended the friendship... I was so
hurt and didn't understand why this was happening because she was the
first person I've met that I wanted to permanently make apart of my
life, I love her and I have fallen in love with her. She was the first
person I met that I didn't have to ask the question if she could be the
one, I just knew. 6 days of not contacting her, not being around her,
not speaking to her went by after that and I decided I needed her more
than ever, I wanted my friend back, my best friend back. I asked if we
could talk and she said "no" but then I told her I wanted my best friend
back, she said "I don't know" then she said " I'm unable to talk about
it right now" I told her that it was fine and that when she was able to,
just let me know, she said "ok" It will be a week tomorrow and I still
feel like I lost her..I love her so much, her and her kids...my friend
told me that she read the goodbye letter I left her. I asked my friend
what happened when they asked her about it. My friend said that she
looked at them and almost broke down and started to cry but was just
able to keep it from happening, then my friend said that she kept the
letter, that right there told me that she still does care and all I want
is my best friend back. It's crazy because the more I go without seeing
her or speaking to her my love grows for her. I'm in love with my best
friend and I miss her...I miss her so much and it hurts so much not
being able to see her, not being able to see her smile, her randomness,
her individuality, her uniqueness, I MISS HOME...

It's 2024 now, and I just want to say that I've struggled with lots of shit throughout my life and I still do to this day. Sometimes I feel like nobody understands what I'm going through except for my friends. When I have a shitty day, I just like being alone, thinking of my struggles. This song is one of them that I truly love and I can relate to.

I love u Krewella and glad they made a song like this, it helps a lot! No one is probably going to read this but if you do, know that there are other people who feel the same like I do and yourself if you're struggling with something deep. You are not alone.
