Human
Rag'n'Bone Man Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm only human
I'm only, I'm only
I'm only human, human

Maybe I'm foolish
Maybe I'm blind
Thinkin' I can see through this
And see what's behind
Got no way to prove it
So maybe I'm lyin'

But I'm only human after all
I'm only human after all
Don't put your blame on me
Don't put your blame on me

Take a look in the mirror
And what do you see?
Do you see it clearer
Or are you deceived
In what you believe?

'Cause I'm only human after all
You're only human after all
Don't put the blame on me
Don't put your blame on me

Some people got the real problems
Some people out of luck
Some people think I can solve them
Lord, heavens above
I'm only human after all
I'm only human after all
Don't put the blame on me
Don't put the blame on me

Don't ask my opinion
Don't ask me to lie
Then beg for forgiveness
For making you cry
For making you cry

'Cause I'm only human after all
I'm only human after all
Don't put your blame on me
Don't put the blame on me

Oh, some people got the real problems
Some people out of luck
Some people think I can solve them
Lord, heavens above
I'm only human after all
I'm only human after all
Don't put the blame on me
Don't put the blame on me
I'm only human
I make mistakes
I'm only human
That's all it takes
To put the blame on me
Don't put the blame on me

'Cause I'm no prophet or Messiah
You should go looking somewhere higher

I'm only human after all
I'm only human after all
Don't put the blame on me
Don't put the blame on me
I'm only human
I do what I can
I'm just a man
I do what I can




Don't put the blame on me
Don't put your blame on me

Overall Meaning

The song "Human" by Rag'n'Bone Man is an introspective piece reflecting on the limitations of human nature. The opening line "I'm only human" is repeated throughout the song to emphasize the singer's admission to his own flawed humanity. He acknowledges that he may make mistakes and he doesn't have all the answers. The lines "Maybe I'm foolish, maybe I'm blind" suggest that he might not always know what he's doing, but he's trying his best regardless.


The song emphasizes a sense of responsibility to take ownership of one's mistakes and avoid blaming others. The chorus "Don't put your blame on me" emphasizes this point. The singer encourages listeners to examine their own actions before blaming others. He emphasizes that everyone has their own problems and limitations, which makes it unfair to place the burden of blame solely on one person.


The final lines of the song "I'm only human, I do what I can" suggest that despite our limitations, it's important to keep trying and doing what we can. It's a song that celebrates our humanity and encourages us to be kinder to ourselves and more understanding of others.
